5.5V , low-power , low DNL, 12-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) with optional 2x buffered output and SPI
interface.
The MCP492X are DACs that provide high accuracy
and low noise performance for industrial applications
where calibration or compensation of signals (such as
temperature, pressure and humidity) are required.
The MCP492X are available in the extended temperature range and PDIP, SOIC, MSOP and TSSOP
packages.
The MCP492X devices utilize a resistive string architecture, with its inherent advantages of low DNL error,
low ratio metric tem perature coe fficient and fast s ettling
time. These devices are specified over the extended
temperature range. The MCP492X include doublebuffered inputs, allowing simultaneous updates using
the LDAC
pin. These devices also incorporate a
Power-On Reset (POR) circuit to ensure reliable
power-up.
