Microchip’s family of Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) offers a wide range of options. These devices support 6-bit through 12-bit applications, offer volatile and nonvolatile options, and standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and I²C digital interfaces. These devices are offered in small packages, such as 6-lead SC70, SOT-23, and Dual Flat No Leads (DFN) (2 × 2) for the single output devices and 10-pin Micro Small Outline Package (MSOP) for quad output devices. Some versions support selecting either the device VDD, the external voltage reference, or an internally generated voltage reference source from the DAC circuitry. Devices with nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) allow the device to retain the programmed output code and DAC state through power-down events. These DAC devices provide high accuracy and low noise and are ideal for industrial applications where calibration or compensation of signals (such as temperature, pressure, or humidity) is required.
