Digital to Analog Converters

MCP4716A3T-E/MAY Description

The MCP4716A3T-E/MAY is a 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from Microchip Technology, designed for precision voltage output applications. Housed in a compact 6-DFN package, this single-channel DAC operates over a 2.7V to 5.5V supply range, making it suitable for both low-power and standard voltage systems. It features an I2C interface for seamless integration with microcontrollers and other digital systems. With ±0.5 LSB INL and ±0.05 LSB DNL, it delivers high linearity and accuracy, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. The device supports external or supply voltage reference and achieves a fast 6µs settling time (typical), enabling rapid signal generation.
