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.

4.1Circuit Descriptions
4.1.1OUTPUT AMPLIFIERS
The DACs’ outputs are buffered with a low-power,
precision CMOS amplifier. This amplifier provides low
offset volt ag e a nd l ow noise. The output stage enables
the device to operate with output voltages close to the
power supply rails. Refer to Section1.0 “ElectricalCharacteristics” for range and load conditions.
In addition to res istive load driv ing cap ability, the amplifier will also drive high capacitive loads without oscillation. The amplifiers’ strong outputs allow V
used as a programmable voltage reference in a
system.
Selecting a gain of 2 reduces the bandwidth of the
amplifier in Multiplying mode. Refer to Section 1.0“Electrical Char acter istics ” for the Multiplying mode
bandwidth for given load conditions.
4.1.1.1Programmable Gain Block
The rail-to-rail output amplifier has configurable gain
allowing optimal full-scale outputs for differing voltage
reference inputs. The output amplifier gain has two
selections , a gai n of 1 V/V (GA

= 0).

The output range is ide ally 0.000V to 4095/4096 * V
when G = 1, and 0.000 to 4095/4096 * V
G = 2. The default value for this bit is a gain of 2, yielding an ideal fu ll-s cale output of 0.000 V to 4. 096V when
utilizing a 2.048V V
. Note that the near rail-to-rail

4.1.2VOLTAGE REFERENCE
AMPLIFIERS
The input buffer amplifiers for the MCP492X devices
provide low offset voltage and low noise. A configuration bit for each DAC allows the V
input to bypass
REF
the input buffer amplifiers, achieving a Buffered or
Unbuffered mode. The default value for this bit is
unbuffered. Buffered mode provides a very high input
impedance, with only minor limitations on the input
range and frequency response. Unbuffered mode
provides a wide input range (0V to V
), with a ty p ic a l

input impedance of 165 kΩ w/7 pF.
4.1.3POWER-ON RESET CIRCUIT
The Power-On Reset (POR) circuit ensures that the
DACs power-up with SHDN
devices will continue to have a high-impedance output
until a valid write command is performe d to either of th e
DAC registers and the LDAC
threshold.

If the power supply voltage is less than the POR
threshold (V

Figure 4-3 shows a typical power supply transient

5.2Write Command
The write command is initiated by driving the CS pin
5.1Overview
The MCP492X family is designed to interface directly
with the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) port, available
on many microcontrollers, and supports Mode 0,0 and
Mode 1,1. Comm ands and da ta are se nt t o the de vice

the 12 data bits into the SDI pin on the rising edge of
SCK. The CS
pin is then raised, causing the data to
be latched into the se le cte d D AC’s input registers. The
MCP492X utilizes a double-buffered latch structure to
allow both DAC

pin achieving a low state, the values held in the
LDAC

DAC’s input registers are transferred into the DACs’
output registers. The out puts will transition to the value

All writes to the MCP492X are 16-bit words. Any
clocks past 16 will be ignored. The most significant
four bits are configuration bits. The remaining 12 bits
are data bits. No data can be transferred into the
device with CS
high. This transfer will only occur if 16
clocks have been transferred into the device. If the rising edge of CS
occurs prior, shifting of data into the
input registers will be aborted.

6.0TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Note:At the time of this data sheet’s release,
circuit examples had not completed
testing. Your results may vary.
The MCP492X devices are general purpose DACs
intended to be used in applications where a precision,
low-power DAC with moderate bandwidth is required.
Applications genera lly suited for the MCP492 X devices
include:
• Set Point or Offset Trimming
• Sensor Calibration
• Digitally-Controlled Multiplier/Divider
• Portable Instrument ati on (Battery Powered)
• Motor Feedback Loop Control
6.1Digital Interface
The MCP492X utilizes a 3-wire syncronous serial
protocol to transfer the DACs’ setup and output values
from the digital source. The serial protocol can be interfaced to SPI™ or Microwire
peripherals common on
many microcontrollers, including Microchip’s
PICmicro® MCUs & dsPICTM DSC family of m ic rocontrollers. In addition to the thr ee serial co nnection s (CS
SCK and SDI), the LDAC
signal syncronizes when the
serial settings are latched into the DAC’s output from
the serial input latch. Figure 6-1 illustrates the required
connections. Note that LDAC
is active-low. If desired,
this input can be tied low to reduce the required connections from 4 to 3. Write commands will be latched
directly into the output latch when a valid 16 clock
transmission has been received and CS has been
raised.
6.2Power Supply Considerations
The typical application will require a by-pass capacitor
in order to filter high-frequency noise. The noise can
be induced onto t he power suppl y's traces or as a result
of changes on the D AC's outp ut. The by pass capa citor
helps to minimize the effect of these noise sources on
signal integrity. Figure 6-1 illustrates an appropriate
bypass strategy.
In this example, the recommended bypass capacitor
value is 0.1 µF. This capacitor should be placed as
close to the device power pin (V
4mm).
The power source supplying these devices should be
as clean as possible. If the application circuit has separate digital and analog power supplies, AV
should reside on the analog plane.

6.3Layout Considerations
Inductively-coupled AC transients and digital switching
noise can degrade the in put and out put signal inte grity,
potentially masking the MCP492X’s performance.
Careful board layout will minimize these effects and
increase the signal-to- noise ratio (SN R). Bench testin g
has shown that a m ulti-layer board u tilizing a low -inductance ground plane, isolated inputs, isolated outputs
and proper decoupling are critical to achieving the
performance that the silicon is capable of providing.
Particularly harsh environments may require shielding
of critical signals.
Breadboards and wire-wrapped boards are not
recommended if low noise is desired.

6.4Single-Supply Operation
The MCP492X is a rail-to-rail (R-R) input and output
DAC designed to operate with a V
5.5V . Its output amplifier is robust enough to drive common, small-signal loads directly, thus eliminating the
cost and size of an external buffer for most applications.
6.4.1DC SET POINT OR CALIBRATION
A common application for a DAC with the MCP492X’s
performance is digitally-controlled set points and/or
calibration of variable parameters, such as sensor offset or slope. 12-bit resolution provides 4096 output
steps. If a 4.096V V

size is desired, the output range would need to be
reduced.

6.4.1.1Decreasing The Output Step Size
If the output range is reduced relative to AVSS, simply
reducing V
put step. If the application is calibrating the threshold
of a diode, transistor or resistor tied to AVSS or V
a theshold range of 0.8V may be desired to provide
200 µV resolution. Two comm on methods to achieve a
0.8V range is to either reduce V
voltage divider on the DAC’s output. If a V

option. Occasionally, when using a low-voltage V
the noise floor causes SNR error that is intolerable.

6.4.1.2Building a “Window” DAC
When calibrating a set point or threshold of a sensor,
rarely does the sensor util ize the enti re output ran ge of
the DAC. If the LSB si ze is ad equate to meet the a pplication’s accuracy needs, then the resolution is sacrificed without consequences. If greater accuracy is
needed, then the output range will need to be reduced
to increase the resolutio n around the desired th reshold.

If the threshold is not near V

a “window” around the threshold has several advantages. One si mp le me thod t o crea te this “wi ndow” is to

Bipolar operation i s a chiev abl e u si ng the MCP492X by
using an external operational amplifier (op amp). This
configuration is desirable due to the wide variety and

6.7Designing A Double-Precision
DAC Using A Dual DAC
Example 6-5 illust rates how to design a single-supp ly
voltage output capable of up to 24-bit re solut ion from a
dual 12-bit DAC. This design is simply a voltage divider
with a buffered output.
As an example, if a similar a pplicati on to the one deve loped in Section 6.5.1 “Design a bipolar dac usingExample 6-3” required a resolution of 1µV instead of
1 mV and a range of 0V to 4.1V, then 12-bit resolution
would not be adequate.

= 4.2e06, 22-bit

this design can be attempted with the

its output only needs to be “pulled” 1/1000 to

3.If R2 is 100Ω, then R1 needs to be 100kΩ.
4.The resulting transfer function is not perfectly
linear , as shown in th e equation of Exam ple 6-5.
Example 6-6 illustrates a variation on a voltage follower
design where a sense resistor is used to conver t the
DAC’s voltage output into a digitally-selectable current
source.
Adding the resistor network from Example 6-2 would
be advantage ous in this appl ication. The s maller R
is, the less power dissipated across it. However, this
also reduces the resolution that the current can be
controlled with. The voltage divider, or “window”, DAC
configuration wou ld allow the range to be redu ced, thus
increasing resolution around the range of interest.

eliminating the amplifier's offset error by storing the

6.9Using Multiplier Mode
The MCP492X is ideally suited for use as a multiplier/
divider in a signal chain. Com mon appli cations i nclude:
precision programm able gain /attenu ator ampli fiers and
loop controls (motor feedback). The wide input range
(0V – V
in Buffered mode: the > 400 kHz bandwidth, selectible
1x/2x gain and its low power consumption give
maximum flexibility to meet the application's needs.
To configure the MCP492X in Multi pli er m od e, c on nec t
the input signal to V
DAC’s input buffer, gain and output value. The DAC’s
output can utilize a ny of Exampl es 6-1 to 6-6, depending on the application requirements. Example 6-7 is an
illustration of how the DAC can operate in a motor
control feedback loop.
If the Gain Select bit is configured for 1x mode (GA
the resulting input signal will be attenuated by D /4096.
If the Gain Select bit is configured for 2x mode (GA =0),
codes < 2048 attenuate the signa l, w hile codes > 2048
gain the signal. V
A 12-bit DAC provides sig nificantly more gain/atte nuation resolution when compared to typical Programmable
Gain Amplifiers. Adding an op amp to buffer the output,
as illustrated in Examples 6-2 to 6-6, extends the
output range and power to meet the prec ise needs of
the application.
