The input supply voltage is relative to VSS. The power supply at the VDD pin should be as clean as possible for a good DAC performance. It is recommended to use an appropriate bypass capacitor of about 0.1 µF (ceramic) to ground. An additional 10 µF capacitor (tantalum) in parallel is also recommended to further attenuate noise present in application boards. 3.2 Voltage Reference Pin (VREF) The VREF pin is either an input or an output. When the DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the VREF pin, the pin is an input. When the DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the internal band gap, the pin is an output. When the DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the VREF pin, there are two options for this voltage input: VREF pin voltage buffered or unbuffered. The buffered option is offered in cases where the external reference voltage does not have sufficient current capability to not drop it’s voltage when connected to the internal resistor ladder circuit. When the DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the device VDD, the VREF pin is disconnected from the internal circuit. When the DAC’s voltage reference is configured as the internal band gap, the VREF pin’s drive capability is minimal, so the output signal should be buffered. See Section 5.2 “Voltage Reference Selection” and Register 4-2 for more details on the Configuration bits. 3.3 Analog Output Voltage Pin (VOUT) VOUT is the DAC analog voltage output pin. The DAC output has an output amplifier. The DAC output range is dependent on the selection of the voltage reference source (and potential Output Gain selection). These are: • Device VDD - The full-scale range of the DAC output is from VSS to approximately VDD. • VREF pin - The full-scale range of the DAC output is from VSS to G  VRL, where G is the gain selection option (1x or 2x). • Internal Band Gap - The full-scale range of the DAC output is from VSS to G  (2  VBG), where G is the gain selection option (1x or 2x). 3.5 Ground (VSS) The VSS pin is the device ground reference. The user must connect the VSS pin to a ground plane through a low-impedance connection. If an analog ground path is available in the application PCB (printed circuit board), it is highly recommended that the VSS pin be tied to the analog ground path or isolated within an analog ground plane of the circuit board. 3.6 Latch Pin (LAT)/High-Voltage Command (HVC) The LAT pin is used to force the transfer of the DAC register’s shift register to the DAC output register. This allows DAC outputs to be updated at the same time. The update of the VRxB:VRxA, PDxB:PDxA, Gx bits are also controlled by the LAT pin state. The HVC pin allows the device’s nonvolatile user configuration bits to be programmed when the HVC pin is greater than the VIHH entry voltage. 3.7 I2C - Serial Clock Pin (SCL) The SCL pin is the serial clock pin of the I2C interface. The MCP47FEBXX’s I2C interface only acts as a slave and the SCL pin accepts only external serial clocks. The input data from the Master device is shifted into the SDA pin on the rising edges of the SCL clock and output from the device occurs at the falling edges of the SCL clock. The SCL pin is an open-drain N-channel driver. Therefore, it needs an external pull-up resistor from the VDD line to the SCL pin. Refer to Section 6.0 “I2C Serial Interface Module” for more details of I2C Serial Interface communication. 3.8 I2C - Serial Data Pin (SDA) The SDA pin is the serial data pin of the I2C interface. The SDA pin is used to write or read the DAC registers and Configuration bits. The SDA pin is an open-drain N-channel driver. Therefore, it needs an external pull-up resistor from the VDD line to the SDA pin. Except for Start and Stop conditions, the data on the SDA pin must be stable during the high period of the clock. The high or low state of the SDA pin can only change when the clock signal on the SCL pin is low. Refer to Section 6.0 “I2C Serial Interface Module” for more details of I2C Serial Interface communication. In Normal mode, the DC impedance of the output pin is about 1. In Power-Down mode, the output pin is internally connected to a known pull-down resistor of 1 k, 100 k, or open. The Power-Down selection bits settings are shown Register 4-3 (Table 5-5). 3.4 No Connect (NC) The NC pin is not connected to the device.

MCP47FEBX2 (MCP47FEB02, MCP47FEB12, and MCP47FEB22) devices are dualchannel voltage output devices. These devices are offered with 8-bit (MCP47FEB0X), 10-bit (MCP47FEB1X) and 12-bit (MCP47FEB2X) resolution and include nonvolatile memory (EEPROM), an I2C serial interface and a write latch (LAT) pin to control the update of the written DAC value to the DAC output pin. The devices use a resistor ladder architecture. The resistor ladder DAC is driven from a softwareselectable voltage reference source. The source can be either the device’s internal VDD, an external VREF pin voltage (buffered or unbuffered) or an internal band gap voltage source. The DAC output is buffered with a low power and precision output amplifier (op amp). This output amplifier provides a rail-to-rail output with low offset voltage and low noise. The gain (1x or 2x) of the output buffer is software configurable. 4.1 Power-on Reset/Brown-out Reset (POR/BOR) The internal Power-on Reset (POR)/Brown-out Reset (BOR) circuit monitors the power supply voltage (VDD) during operation. This circuit ensures correct device start-up at system power-up and power-down events. The device’s RAM retention voltage (VRAM) is lower than the POR/BOR voltage trip point (VPOR/VBOR). The maximum VPOR/VBOR voltage is less than 1.8V. POR occurs as the voltage is rising (typically from 0V), while BOR occurs as the voltage is falling (typically from VDD(MIN) or higher). The POR and BOR trip points are at the same voltage, and the condition is determined by whether the VDD voltage is rising or falling (see Figure 4-1). What occurs is different depending on if the reset is a POR or BOR reset. the electrical When VPOR/VBOR < VDD < 2.7V, performance may not meet the data sheet specifications. In this region, the device is capable of reading and writing to its EEPROM and reading and writing to its volatile memory if the proper serial command is executed. This device also has user-programmable nonvolatile memory (EEPROM), which allows the user to save the desired POR/BOR value of the DAC register and device configuration bits. High Voltage lock bits can be used to ensure that the devices output settings are not accidentally modified. The devices operates from a single supply voltage. This voltage is specified from 2.7V to 5.5V for full specified operation, and from 1.8V to 5.5V for digital operation. The device operates between 1.8V and 2.7V, but some device parameters are not specified. The main functional blocks are: • • • • • • Power-on Reset/Brown-out Reset (POR/BOR) Device Memory Resistor Ladder Output Buffer/VOUT Operation Internal Band Gap (Voltage Reference) I2C Serial Interface Module  2015 Microchip Technology Inc. DS20005375A-page 31 MCP47FEBXX 4.1.1 POWER-ON RESET 4.1.2 The Power-on Reset is the case where the device VDD is having power applied to it from the VSS voltage level. As the device powers-up, the VOUT pin will float to an unknown value. When the device’s VDD is above the transistor threshold voltage of the device, the output will start being pulled low. After the VDD is above the POR/BOR trip point (VBOR/VPOR), the resistor network’s wiper will be loaded with the POR value (mid-scale). The volatile memory determines the analog output (VOUT) pin voltage. After the device is powered-up, the user can update the device memory. When the rising VDD voltage crosses the VPOR trip point, the following occurs: • Nonvolatile DAC register value latched into volatile DAC register • Nonvolatile Configuration bit values latched into volatile Configuration bits • POR Status bit is set (‘1’) • The Reset Delay Timer (tPORD) starts; when the reset delay timer (tPORD) times out, the I2C serial interface is operational. During this delay time, the I2C interface will not accept commands. • The Device Memory Address pointer is forced to 00h. BROWN-OUT RESET The Brown-out Reset occurs when a device had power applied to it, and that power (voltage) drops below the specified range. When the falling VDD voltage crosses the VPOR trip point (BOR event), the following occurs: • Serial Interface is disabled • EEPROM Writes are disabled • Device is forced into a power-down state (PDxB:PDxA = ‘11’). Analog circuitry is turned off. • Volatile DAC Register is forced to 000h • Volatile configuration bits VRxB:VRxA and Gx are forced to ‘0’ If the VDD voltage decreases below the VRAM voltage, all volatile memory may become corrupted. As the voltage recovers above the VPOR/VBOR voltage see Section 4.1.1 “Power-on Reset”. Serial commands not completed due to a brown-out condition may cause the memory location (volatile and nonvolatile) to become corrupted. Figure 4-1 illustrates the conditions for power-up and power-down events under typical conditions. The analog output (VOUT) state will be determined by the state of the volatile Configuration bits and the DAC register. This is called a Power-on Reset (event). Figure 4-1 illustrates the conditions for power-up and power-down events under typical conditions.

These are the DAC Output Value and Configuration registers: • Volatile Register Memory (RAM) • Nonvolatile Register Memory • Device Configuration Memory Each memory address is 16 bits wide. There are five nonvolatile user-control bits that do not reside in memory mapped register space (see Section 4.2.3 “Device Configuration Memory”). 4.2.1 VOLATILE REGISTER MEMORY (RAM) DAC0 and DAC1 Output Value Registers VREF Select Register Power-Down Configuration Register Gain and Status Register WiperLock Technology Status Register The device starts writing the EEPROM memory location at the completion of the serial interface command. For the I2C interface, this is the acknowledge pulse of the EEPROM write command. The volatile memory starts functioning when the device VDD is at (or above) the RAM retention voltage (VRAM). The volatile memory will be loaded with the default device values when the VDD rises across the VPOR/VBOR voltage trip point. Note: When the nonvolatile memory is written, the corresponding volatile memory is not modified. The nonvolatile DAC registers enables stand-alone operation of the device (without Microcontroller control) after being programmed to the desired value.

There are two configuration bits (DLx:CLx) for each DAC (DAC0 and DAC1). Please refer to the Section 7.5 “Enable Configuration Bit (High-Voltage)” and Section 7.6 “Disable Configuration Bit (High-Voltage)” commands for operation. Note: Dependent on the state of the DLx:CLx configuration bits, WiperLock technology prevents the serial commands from the following actions on the DACx registers and bits: • Writing to the specified volatile DACx Register memory location • Writing to the specified nonvolatile DACx Register memory location • Writing to the specified volatile DACx configuration bits • Writing to the specified nonvolatile DACx configuration bits 4.2.6.1 POR/BOR Operation when WiperLock Technology Enabled The WiperLock Technology state is not affected by a POR/BOR event. A POR/BOR event will load the Volatile DAC0 (DAC1) register values with the Nonvolatile DAC0 (DAC1) register values. 4.2.7 Each pair of these configuration bits control one of four modes. These modes are shown in Table 4-4. The addresses for the configuration bits are shown in Table 4-1. To modify the configuration bits, the HVC pin must be forced to the VIHH state and then receive an Enable or Disable command on the desired pair of DAC Register addresses. Note: During device communication, if the Device Address/Command combination is invalid or an unimplemented Address is specified, then the MCP47FEBXX will NACK that byte. To reset the I2C state machine, the I2C communication must detect a Start bit. To modify the CL0 bit, the Enable or Disable command specifies address 00h, while to modify the DL0 bit, the Enable or Disable command specifies address 10h. I2C SLAVE ADDRESS WRITE PROTECT The MCP47FEBXX device’s I2C Slave Address is stored in the EEPROM memory. This allows the address to be modified to the applications requirement. To ensure that the I2C Slave Address is not unintentionally modified, the memory has a high voltage write protect bit. This configurations bit is shown in Table 4-3. Note: To modify the SALCK bit, the Enable or Disable command specifies address 1Ah.

DS20005375A-page 43 MCP47FEBXX 5.1 Resistor Ladder PD1:PD0 The Resistor Ladder is a digital potentiometer with the B Terminal internally grounded and the A Terminal connected to the selected reference voltage (see Figure 5-2). The volatile DAC register controls the wiper position. The wiper voltage (VW) is proportional to the DAC register value divided by the number of resistor elements (RS) in the ladder (256, 1024 or 4096) related to the VRL voltage. The output of the resistor network will drive the input of an output buffer. VRL DAC Register RS(2n) 2n - 1 RW (1) RS(2n - 1) RRL 2n - 2 RW (1) RS(2n - 2) The Resistor Network is made up of these three parts: VW • Resistor Ladder (string of RS elements) • Wiper switches • DAC Register decode The resistor ladder (RRL) has a typical impedance of approximately 140 k. This resistor ladder resistance (RRL) may vary from device to device up to ±20%. Since this is a voltage divider configuration, the actual RRL resistance does not affect the output given a fixed voltage at VRL. Equation 5-1 shows the calculation for the step resistance. Note: The maximum wiper position is 2n – 1, while the number of resistors in the resistor ladder is 2n. This means that when the DAC register is at full scale, there is one resistor element (RS) between the wiper and the VRL voltage. If the unbuffered VREF pin is used as the VRL voltage source, this voltage source should have a low output impedance. When the DAC is powered-down, the resistor ladder is disconnected from the selected reference voltage.

Two user control bits (VREF1:VREF0) are used to control the selection, with the selection connected to the VRL node (see Figures 5-3 and 5-4). The four voltage source options for the Resistor Ladder are: 1. 2. 3. 4. VDD pin voltage Internal Voltage Reference (VBG) VREF pin voltage unbuffered VREF pin voltage internally buffered The selection of the voltage is specified with the volatile VREF1:VREF0 configuration bits (see Register 4-2). There are nonvolatile and volatile VREF1:VREF0 configuration bits. On a POR/BOR event, the state of the nonvolatile VREF1:VREF0 configuration bits is latched into the volatile VREF1:VREF0 configuration bits. VREF1:VREF0 VREF VDD Band Gap Reference Selection 5.2 VRL Buffer FIGURE 5-3: Resistor Ladder Reference Voltage Selection Block Diagram. VDD PD1:PD0 and VREF1:VREF0 When the user selects the VDD as reference, the VREF pin voltage is not connected to the resistor ladder. VREF + VRL - If the VREF pin is selected, then one needs to select between the buffered or unbuffered mode. 5.2.1 UNBUFFERED MODE VDD The VREF pin voltage may be from VSS to VDD. Note 1: The voltage source should have a low output impedance. If the voltage source has a high output impedance, then the voltage on the VREF’s pin would be lower than expected. The resistor ladder has a typical impedance of 140 k and a typical capacitance of 29 pF. 2: If the VREF pin is tied to the VDD voltage, VDD mode (VREF1:VREF0 = ‘00’) is recommended. 5.2.2 BUFFERED MODE The VREF pin voltage may be from 0.01V to VDD 0.04V. The input buffer (amplifier) provides low offset voltage, low noise, and a very high input impedance, with only minor limitations on the input range and frequency response. Note 1: Any variation or noises on the reference source can directly affect the DAC output. The reference voltage needs to be as clean as possible for accurate DAC performance. 2: If the VREF pin is tied to the VDD voltage, VDD mode (VREF1:VREF0 = ‘00’) is recommended.  2015 Microchip Technology Inc. VDD VREF1:VREF0 VREF1:VREF0 PD1:PD0 and BGEN Band Gap (1) (1.22V typical) Note 1: The Band Gap voltage (VBG) is 1.22V typical. The band gap output goes through the buffer with a 2x gain to create the VRL voltage. See Section 5.4 “Internal Band Gap” for addition information on the band gap circuit. FIGURE 5-4: Reference Voltage Selection Implementation Block Diagram. 5.2.3 BANDGAP MODE If the Internal Band Gap is selected, then the external VREF pin should not be driven and only use high-impedance loads. Decoupling capacitors are recommended for optimal operation. The band gap output is buffered, but the internal switches limit the current that the output should source to the VREF pin. The resistor ladder buffer is used to drive the Band Gap voltage for the cases of multiple DAC outputs. This ensures that the resistor ladders are always properly sourced when the band gap is selected. DS20005375A-page 45 MCP47FEBXX 5.3 Output Buffer/VOUT Operation TABLE 5-1: The Output Driver buffers the wiper voltage (VW) of the Resistor Ladder. The DAC output is buffered with a low power and precision output amplifier (op amp). This amplifier provides a rail-to-rail output with low offset voltage and low noise. The amplifier’s output can drive the resistive and high-capacitive loads without oscillation. The amplifier provides a maximum load current which is enough for most programmable voltage reference applications. Refer to Section 1.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for the specifications of the output amplifier. Note: The load resistance must keep higher than 5 k for the stable and expected analog output (to meet electrical specifications). Figure 5-5 shows a block diagram of the output driver circuit. OUTPUT DRIVER GAIN Gain Bit Gain 0 1 1 2 5.3.1 Comment Limits VREF pin voltages relative to device VDD voltage. PROGRAMMABLE GAIN The amplifier’s gain is controlled by the Gain (G) configuration bit (see Register 4-5) and the VRL reference selection. When the VRL reference selection is the device’s VDD voltage, the G bit is ignored and a gain of 1 is used. The volatile G bit value can be modified by: • POR event • BOR event • I2C Write commands • I2C General Call Reset command The user can select the output gain of the output amplifier. Gain options are: a) b) Gain of 1, with either VDD or VREF pin used as reference voltage. Gain of 2, only when VREF pin or Internal Band Gap is used as reference voltage. The VREF pin voltage should be limited to VDD/2. Power-down logic also controls the output buffer operation (see Section 5.6 “Power-Down Operation” for additional information on Power-down). In any of the three Power-Down modes, the op amp is powereddown and its output becomes a high impedance to the VOUT pin. Table 5-1 shows the gain bit operation. When the reference voltage selection (VRL) is the device’s VDD voltage, the G bit is ignored and a gain of 1 is used.

So if VREF = VDD, then the VOUT voltage will not change for volatile DAC Register values mid-scale and greater, since the op amp is at full-scale output. The following events update the DAC register value and therefore the analog voltage output (VOUT): • Power-on Reset • Brown-out Reset • I2C Write Command, Falling edge of the acknowledge pulse of the last write command byte. • I2C General Call Reset command, Output is updated with POR data (EEPROM).

The slew rate can be affected by the characteristics of the circuit connected to the VOUT pin. VOUT(B) DACx = A DACx= B Time V OUT  B  – V OUT  A  Slew Rate = -------------------------------------------------T FIGURE 5-6: 5.3.4.1 VOUT pin Slew Rate. Small Capacitive Load With a small capacitive load, the output buffer’s current is not affected by the capacitive load (CL). But still, the VOUT pin’s voltage is not a step transition from one output value (DAC register value) to the next output value. The change of the VOUT voltage is limited by the output buffer’s characteristics, so the VOUT pin voltage will have a slope from the old voltage to the new voltage. This slope is fixed for the output buffer, and is referred to as the buffer slew rate (SRBUF). 5.3.4.2 DRIVING RESISTIVE AND CAPACITIVE LOADS The VOUT pin can drive up to 100 pF of capacitive load in parallel with a 5 k resistive load (to meet electrical specifications). A VOUT vs. Resistive Load characterization graph can be seen in the Char Data for this device (DS20005378). VOUT drops slowly as the load resistance decreases after about 3.5 k. It is recommended to use a load with RL greater than 5 k. VOUT VOUT(A) 5.3.5 Driving large capacitive loads can cause stability problems for voltage feedback op amps. As the load capacitance increases, the feedback loop’s phase margin decreases and the closed-loop bandwidth is reduced. This produces gain peaking in the frequency response with overshoot and ringing in the step response. That is, since the VOUT pin’s voltage does not quickly follow the buffer’s input voltage (due to the large capacitive load), the output buffer will overshoot the desired target voltage. Once the driver detects this overshoot, it compensates by forcing it to a voltage below the target. This causes voltage ringing on the VOUT pin. So, when driving large capacitive loads with the output buffer, a small series resistor (RISO) at the output (see Figure 5-7) improves the output buffer’s stability (feedback loop’s phase margin) by making the output load resistive at higher frequencies. The bandwidth will be generally lower than the bandwidth with no capacitive load. Large Capacitive Load With a larger capacitive load, the slew rate is determined by two factors: • The output buffer’s short-circuit current (ISC) • The VOUT pin’s external load IOUT cannot exceed the output buffer’s short-circuit current (ISC), which fixes the output buffer slew rate (SRBUF). The voltage on the capacitive load (CL), VCL, changes at a rate proportional to IOUT, which fixes a capacitive load slew rate (SRCL). So the VCL voltage slew rate is limited to the slower of the output buffer’s internally set slew rate (SRBUF) and the capacitive load slew rate (SRCL). VW Op Amp VOUT VCL RISO RL CL FIGURE 5-7: Circuit to Stabilize Output Buffer for Large Capacitive Loads (CL). The RISO resistor value for your circuit needs to be selected. The resulting frequency response peaking and step response overshoot for this RISO resistor value should be verified on the bench. Modify the RISO’s resistance value until the output characteristics meet your requirements. A method to evaluate the system’s performance is to inject a step voltage on the VREF pin and observe the VOUT pin’s characteristics.

Gain selection of 2x (Gx = ‘1‘) requires voltage reference source to come from VREF pin (VREF1:VREF0 = ‘10‘ or ‘11’) and requires VREF pin voltage (or VRL) ≤ VDD/2 or from the internal band gap (VREF1:VREF0 = ‘01’).

The resistance of a resistor ladder (RRL) is targeted to be 140 k (40 k), which means a minimum resistance of 100 k. The band gap selection can be used across the VDD voltages while maximizing the VOUT voltage ranges. For VDD voltages below the 2  Gain  VBG voltage, the output for the upper codes will be clipped to the VDD voltage.

This is useful for applications that need to synchronize the wiper(s) updates to an external event, such as zero crossing or updates to the other wipers on the device. The LAT pin is asynchronous to the serial interface operation. Serial Shift Reg Register Address Write Command 16 Clocks Vol. DAC Register x LAT Transfer SYNC Data (internal signal) DAC wiper x When the LAT pin is high, transfers from the volatile DAC register to the DAC wiper are inhibited. The volatile DAC register value(s) can be continued to be updated. When the LAT pin is low, the volatile DAC register value is transferred to the DAC wiper. Note: This allows both the volatile DAC0 and DAC1 Registers to be updated while the LAT pin is high, and to have outputs synchronously updated as the LAT pin is driven low. Figure 5-8 shows the interaction of the LAT pin and the loading of the DAC wiper x (from the volatile DAC Register x). The transfers are level driven. If the LAT pin is held low, the corresponding DAC wiper is updated as soon as the volatile DAC Register value is updated. LAT SYNC Transfer Data Comment 1 1 0 No Transfer 1 0 0 No Transfer 0 1 1 Vol. DAC Register x  DAC wiper x 0 0 0 No Transfer FIGURE 5-8: LAT and DAC Interaction. The LAT pin allows the DAC wiper to be updated to an external event as well as have multiple DAC channels/devices update at a common event. Since the DAC wiper x is updated from the Volatile DAC Register x, all DACs that are associated with a given LAT pin can be updated synchronously. If the application does not require synchronization, then this signal should be tied low. Figure 5-9 shows two cases of using the LAT pin to control when the wiper register is updated relative to the value of a sine wave signal. Case 1: Zero Crossing of Sine Wave to update volatile DAC0 register (using LAT pin) Case 2: Fixed point Crossing of Sine Wave to update volatile DAC0 register (using LAT pin) Indicates where LAT pin pulses active (volatile DAC0 register updated) FIGURE 5-9: Example use of LAT pin operation.  2015 Microchip Technology Inc. DS20005375A-page 51 MCP47FEBXX Power-Down Operation To allow the application to conserve power when the DAC operation is not required, three power-down modes are available. The Power-Down configuration bits (PD1:PD0) control the power-down operation (Figure 5-10 and Table 5-5). On devices with multiple DACs, each DACs power-down mode is individually controllable. All power-down modes do the following: • Turn off most the DAC module’s internal circuits (output op amp, resistor ladder,...) • Op amp output becomes high-impedance to the VOUT pin • Disconnects resistor ladder from reference voltage (VRL) • Retains the value of the volatile DAC register and configuration bits, and the nonvolatile (EEPROM) DAC register and configuration bits VW V OUT + PD1:PD0 1k (1) Note 1: Gain options are 1x and 2x. • VOUT pin is switched to one of two resistive pulldowns (See Table 5-5) - 100 k (typical) - 1 k (typical) • Op amp is powered-down and the VOUT pin is high-impedance. There is a delay (TPDE) between the PD1:PD0 bits changing from ‘00’ to either ‘01’, ‘10’ or ‘11’ and the op amp no longer driving the VOUT output and the pulldown resistors sinking current. In any of the power-down modes where the VOUT pin is not externally connected (sinking or sourcing current), the power-down current will typically be ~650 nA for a single-DAC device. As the number of DACs increases, the device’s power-down current will also increase. The power-down bits are modified by using a Write command to the volatile Power-Down register, or a POR event which transfers the nonvolatile Power-Down register to the volatile Power-Down register. 2C Section 7.0 “Device Commands” describes the I commands for writing the power-down bits. The commands that can update the volatile PD1:PD0 bits are: Write Command (Normal and High-Voltage) Read Command (Normal and High-Voltage) Enable Configuration Bit (High-Voltage) Disable Configuration Bit (High-Voltage) General Call Reset General Call Wake-up Note: PD1:PD0 Gain Depending on the selected power-down mode, the following will occur: • • • • • • V DD 100 k 5.6 FIGURE 5-10: Diagram.

DS20005375A-page 52  2015 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP47FEBXX 5.6.1 EXITING POWER-DOWN When the device exits the power-down mode the following occurs: • Disabled circuits (op amp, resistor ladder, ...) are turned on • Resistor ladder is connected to selected reference voltage (VRL) • Selected pull-down resistor is disconnected • The VOUT output will be driven to the voltage represented by the volatile DAC Register’s value and configuration bits The VOUT output signal will require time as these circuits are powered-up and the output voltage is driven to the specified value as determined by the volatile DAC register and configuration bits. Note: Since the op amp and resistor ladder were powered-off (0V), the op amp’s input voltage (VW) can be considered 0V. There is a delay (TPDD) between the PD1:PD0 bits updating to ‘00’ and the op amp driving the VOUT output. The op amp’s settling time (from 0V) needs to be taken into account to ensure the VOUT voltage reflects the selected value. The following events will change the PD1:PD0 bits to ‘00’ and therefore exit the Power-Down mode. These are: • Any I2C write command where the PD1:PD0 bits are ‘00’. • I2C General Call Wake-up Command. • I2C General Call Reset Command. (if nonvolatile PD1:PD0 bits are ‘00’). 5.6.2 RESET COMMANDS When the MCP47FEBXX is in the valid operating voltage, the I2C General Call Reset command will force a Reset event. This is similar to the Power-on Reset, except that the Reset delay timer is not started. 5.7 DAC Registers, Configuration Bits, and Status Bits The MCP47FEBXX devices have both volatile and nonvolatile (EEPROM) memory. Table 4-2 shows the volatile and nonvolatile memory and their interaction due to a POR event. There are five configuration bits in both the volatile and nonvolatile memory, the DAC registers in both the volatile and nonvolatile memory, and two volatile status bits. The DAC registers (volatile and nonvolatile) will be either 12 bits (MCP47FEB2X), 10 bits (MCP47FEB1X), or 8 bits (MCP47FEB0X) wide. When the device is first powered-up, it automatically uploads the EEPROM memory values to the volatile memory. The volatile memory determines the analog output (VOUT) pin voltage. After the device is poweredup, the user can update the device memory. The I2C interface is how this memory is read and written. Refer to Section 6.0 “I2C Serial Interface Module” and Section 7.0 “Device Commands” for more details on reading and writing the device’s memory. When the nonvolatile memory is written, the device starts writing the EEPROM cell at the Acknowledge pulse of the Write command. Register 4-4 shows the operation of the device status bits, Table 4-3 and Table 4-4 show the operation of the device configuration bits, and Table 4-2 shows the factory default value of a POR/BOR event for the device configuration bits. There are two status bits. These are only in volatile memory and give indication on the status of the device. The POR bit indicates if the device VDD is above or below the POR trip point. During normal operation, this bit should be ‘1’. The RDY/BSY bit indicates if an EEPROM write cycle is in progress. While the RDY/BSY bit is low (during the EEPROM writing), all commands are ignored, except for the Read command. If the I2C interface bus does not seem to be responsive, the technique shown in Section 8.9 “Software I2C Interface Reset Sequence” can be used to force the I2C interface to be reset.  2015 Microchip Technology Inc.

This I2C interface is a two-wire interface (clock and data). Figure 6-1 shows a typical I2C interface connection. 2 The I C specification only defines the field types, field lengths, timings, etc. of a frame. The frame content defines the behavior of the device. The frame content (Commands) for the MCP47FEBXX is defined in Section 7.0 “Device Commands”.

These are referred to as Standard, Fast or HighSpeed modes. The MCP47FEBXX supports these three modes. The clock rates (bit rate) of these modes are: 6.4 Typical I2C™ Interface Connections Host Controller (Master) SCL 6.3 Interface Pins (SCL and SDA) The MCP47FEBXX I2C’s module SCL pin does not generate the serial clock since the device operates in Slave mode. Also, the MCP47FEBXX will not stretch the clock signal (SCL) since memory read access occurs fast enough. Device Memory Address On a POR/BOR event, the Device’s Memory Address pointer is forced to 00h. The MCP47FEBXX retains the last “Device Memory Address” that it has received. That is, the MCP47FEBXX does not “corrupt” the “Device Memory Address” after Repeated Start or Stop conditions. 6.6 General Call Commands The General Call commands utilize the I2C specification reserved General Call command address and command codes. The MCP47FEBXX also implements a non-standard General Call command. The General Call commands are • General Call Reset • General Call Wake-up (MCP47FEBXX defined) The General Call Wake-up command will cause all the MCP47FEBXX devices to exit their power-down state. 6.7 Multi-Master Systems The MCP47FEBXX is not a Master device (generate the interface clock), but can be used in multi-master applications. The MCP47FEBXX I2C’s module implements slope control on the SDA pin output driver.

The address byte is the first byte received following the Start condition from the master device (see Figure 6-2). The slave address is implemented in a nonvolatile register (Register 4-5) which is protected from accidental register writes via the Slave Address Lock (SALCK) configuration bit. The SALCK configuration bit requires a high voltage (VIHH) to be modified. The SALCK configuration bit must be disabled (see Section 7.6 “Disable Configuration Bit (High-Voltage)”) before a write to the nonvolatile Slave Addresses register can modify the value. Note: After modifying the nonvolatile Slave Address value (Register 4-5), it is strongly recommended that the SALCK configuration bit is enabled (see Section 7.5 “Enable Configuration Bit (High-Voltage)”).

This is done by the master sending a special address byte following the Start bit. This byte is referred to as the High-Speed Master Mode Code (HSMMC). The device can now communicate at up to 3.4 Mbit/s on SDA and SCL lines. The device will switch out of the HS mode on the next Stop condition. The master code is sent as follows: 1. 2. 3. Start condition (S) High-Speed Master Mode Code (0000 1XXX), The XXX bits are unique to the High-Speed (HS) mode master.

Signals >VIHH (~9.0V) on the HVC pin puts MCP47FEBXX devices into HighVoltage mode. High Voltage commands allow the device’s WiperLock Technology and write protect features to be enabled and disabled. Figure 7-12 (Disable) shows the formats for a single Modify Write Protect or Wiper-Lock Technology command. A Modify Write Protect or Wiper-Lock Technology command will only start an EEPROM write cycle (twc) after a properly formatted command has been received and the Stop condition occurs. Note 1: There is a required delay after the HVC pin is driven to the VIHH level to the 1st edge of the SCL pin. During an EEPROM write cycle, only serial commands to volatile memory are accepted. All other serial commands are ignored until the EEPROM write cycle (twc) completes. This allows the Host Controller to operate on the volatile DAC, the volatile VREF, Power-down, Gain and Status, and WiperLock Technology Status registers. The EEWA bit in the Status register indicates the status of an EEPROM Write Cycle. 2: The command sequence can go from an increment to any other valid command for the specified address.

Since the devices include a nonvolatile EEPROM memory, the user can utilize these devices for applications that require the output to return to the previous set-up value on subsequent power-ups. 8.1.1 The user can test the presence of the device on the I2C bus line using a simple I2C command. This test can be achieved by checking an acknowledge response from the device after sending a Read or Write command. Figure 8-1 shows an example with a Read command. The steps are: 1. 2. Applications generally suited for the devices are: • • • • Set Point or Offset Trimming Sensor Calibration Portable Instrumentation (Battery-Powered) Motor Control 8.1 Connecting to I2C BUS using Pull-Up Resistors The SCL and SDA pins of the MCP47FEBXX devices are open-drain configurations. These pins require a pull-up resistor, as shown in Figure 8-2. The pull-up resistor values (R1 and R2) for SCL and SDA pins depend on the operating speed (standard, fast and high-speed) and loading capacitance of the I2C bus line. A higher value of the pull-up resistor consumes less power, but increases the signal transition time (higher RC time constant) on the bus line. Therefore, it can limit the bus operating speed. The lower resistor value, on the other hand, consumes higher power, but allows higher operating speed. If the bus line has higher capacitance due to long metal traces or multiple device connections to the bus line, a smaller pull-up resistor is needed to compensate the long RC time constant. The pull-up resistor is typically chosen between 1 k and 10 kranges for Standard and Fast modes, and less than 1 kfor High-Speed mode.  2015 Microchip Technology Inc. DEVICE CONNECTION TEST 3.

DS20005375A-page 71 MCP47FEBXX 8.2 Power Supply Considerations The power source should be as clean as possible. The power supply to the device is also used for the DAC voltage reference internally if the internal VDD is selected as the resistor ladder’s reference voltage (VRxB:VRxA = ’00’). Any noise induced on the VDD line can affect the DAC performance. Typical applications will require a bypass capacitor in order to filter out high-frequency noise on the VDD line. The noise can be induced onto the power supply’s traces or as a result of changes on the DAC output. The bypass capacitor helps to minimize the effect of these noise sources on signal integrity. Figure 8-2 shows an example of using two bypass capacitors (a 10 µF tantalum capacitor and a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor) in parallel on the VDD line. These capacitors should be placed as close to the VDD pin as possible (within 4 mm). If the application circuit has separate digital and analog power supplies, the VDD and VSS pins of the device should reside on the analog plane.

The internal output op amplifier is robust enough to drive common, small-signal loads directly, thus eliminating the cost and size of external buffers for most applications. The user can use gain of 1 or 2 of the output op amplifier by setting the Configuration register bits. Also, the user can use internal VDD as the reference or use external reference. Various user options and easy-to-use features make the devices suitable for various modern DAC applications. Application examples include: • • • • • • • • • • Decreasing Output Step Size Building a “Window” DAC Bipolar Operation Selectable Gain and Offset Bipolar Voltage Output Designing a Double-Precision DAC Building Programmable Current Source Serial Interface Communication Times Software I2C Interface Reset Sequence Power Supply Considerations Layout Considerations 8.3.1 8.3.1.1 Decreasing Output Step Size If the application is calibrating the bias voltage of a diode or transistor, a bias voltage range of 0.8V may be desired with about 200 µV resolution per step. Two common methods to achieve small step size are using lower VREF pin voltage or using a voltage divider on the DAC’s output. Using an external voltage reference (VREF) is an option if the external reference is available with the desired output voltage range. However, occasionally, when using a low-voltage reference voltage, the noise floor causes a SNR error that is intolerable. Using a voltage divider method is another option, and provides some advantages when external voltage reference needs to be very low, or when the desired output voltage is not available. In this case, a larger value reference voltage is used, while two resistors scale the output range down to the precise desired level. Figure 8-3 illustrates this concept. A bypass capacitor on the output of the voltage divider plays a critical function in attenuating the output noise of the DAC and the induced noise from the environment. VDD DC SET POINT OR CALIBRATION A common application for the devices is a digitally-controlled set point and/or calibration of variable parameters, such as sensor offset or slope. For example, the MCP47FEB2X provides 4096 output steps. If voltage reference is 4.096V (where Gx = ‘0’), the LSb size is 1 mV. If a smaller output step size is desired, a lower external voltage reference is needed. Optional VREF VDD RSENSE MCP47FEBXX VCC+ R1 VTRIP Comp.

DS20005375A-page 73 MCP47FEBXX 8.3.1.2 8.4 Building a “Window” DAC When calibrating a set point or threshold of a sensor, typically only a small portion of the DAC output range is utilized. If the LSb size is adequate enough to meet the application’s accuracy needs, the unused range is sacrificed without consequences. If greater accuracy is needed, then the output range will need to be reduced to increase the resolution around the desired threshold. If the threshold is not near VREF, 2 • VREF, or VSS, then creating a “window” around the threshold has several advantages. One simple method to create this “window” is to use a voltage divider network with a pull-up and pull-down resistor. Figure 8-4 and Figure 8-6 illustrate this concept. Bipolar Operation Bipolar operation is achievable by utilizing an external operational amplifier. This configuration is desirable due to the wide variety and availability of op amps. This allows a general purpose DAC, with its cost and availability advantages, to meet almost any desired output voltage range, power and noise performance. Figure 8-5 illustrates a simple bipolar voltage source configuration. R1 and R2 allow the gain to be selected, while R3 and R4 shift the DAC's output to a selected offset.

Figure 8-6 illustrates how to use the DAC devices to achieve this in a bipolar or single-supply application. This circuit is typically used for linearizing a sensor whose slope and offset varies.

This requires two 12-bit DACs. This design is simply a voltage divider with a buffered output. Figure 8-8 shows an example of building a programmable current source using a voltage follower. The current sensor resistor is used to convert the DAC voltage output into a digitally-selectable current source. As an example, if a similar application to the one developed in Section 8.5.1 “Bipolar DAC Example” required a resolution of 1 µV instead of 1 mV, and a range of 0V to 4.1V, then 12-bit resolution would not be adequate. The smaller RSENSE is, the less power dissipated across it. However, this also reduces the resolution that the current can be controlled. Step 1: Calculate the resolution needed: VDD (or VREF) Optional 4.1V/1 µV = 4.1 x 106. Since 222 = 4.2 x 106, 22-bit resolution is desired. Since DNL = ±1.0 LSb, this design can be attempted with the 12-bit DAC. Step 2: Since DAC1’s VOUT1 has a resolution of 1 mV, its output only needs to be “pulled” 1/1000 to meet the 1 µV target. Dividing VOUT0 by 1000 would allow the application to compensate for DAC1’s DNL error. Step 3: If R2 is 100, then R1 needs to be 100 k.

At times, it may become necessary to perform a Software Reset Sequence to ensure the MCP47FEBXX device is in a correct and known I2C interface state. This technique only resets the I2C state machine. This is useful if the MCP47FEBXX device powers-up in an incorrect state (due to excessive bus noise, etc), or if the master device is reset during communication. Figure 8-9 shows the communication sequence to software reset the device. S ‘1’ ‘1’ ‘1’ ‘1’ ‘1’ ‘1’ ‘1’ ‘1’ S P Nine bits of ‘1’ Start bit Stop bit Start bit FIGURE 8-9: Format. Software Reset Sequence The 1st Start bit will cause the device to reset from a state in which it is expecting to receive data from the master device. In this mode, the device is monitoring the data bus in Receive mode and can detect if the Start bit forces an internal Reset. 8.10 Design Considerations In the design of a system with the MCP47FEBXX devices, the following considerations should be taken into account: • Power Supply Considerations • Layout Considerations 8.10.1 The typical application will require a bypass capacitor in order to filter high-frequency noise, which can be induced onto the power supply's traces. The bypass capacitor helps to minimize the effect of these noise sources on signal integrity. Figure 8-10 illustrates an appropriate bypass strategy. In this example, the recommended bypass capacitor value is 0.1 µF. This capacitor should be placed as close (within 4 mm) to the device power pin (VDD) as possible. The power source supplying these devices should be as clean as possible. If the application circuit has separate digital and analog power supplies, VDD and VSS should reside on the analog plane. The nine bits of ‘1’ are used to force a Reset of those devices that could not be reset by the previous Start bit. This occurs only if the MCP47FEBXX is driving an A bit on the I2C bus, or is in Output mode (from a Read command) and is driving a data bit of ‘0’ onto the I2C bus. In both of these cases, the previous Start bit could not be generated due to the MCP47FEBXX holding the bus low. By sending out nine ‘1’ bits, it is ensured that the device will see an A bit (the master device does not drive the I2C bus low to acknowledge the data sent by the MCP47FEBXX), which also forces the MCP47FEBXX to reset. The 2nd Start bit is sent to address the rare possibility of an erroneous write. This could occur if the master device was reset while sending a Write command to the MCP47FEBXX, AND then as the master device returns to normal operation and issues a Start condition, while the MCP47FEBXX is issuing an acknowledge. In this case, if the 2nd Start bit is not sent (and the Stop bit was sent) the MCP47FEBXX could initiate a write cycle. Note: The potential for this erroneous write ONLY occurs if the master device is reset while sending a Write command to the MCP47FEBxx. The Stop bit terminates the current I2C bus activity. The MCP47FEBXX waits to detect the next Start condition. DS20005375A-page 78 POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS VDD 0.1 µF VDD 0.1 µF VREF VOUT VSS FIGURE 8-10: Connections.

These may include: • Noise • PCB Area Requirements 8.10.2.1 8.10.2.2 PACKAGE FOOTPRINT(1) TABLE 8-2: Package Noise Inductively-coupled AC transients and digital switching noise can degrade the input and output signal integrity, potentially masking the MCP47FEBXX’s performance. Careful board layout minimizes these effects and increases the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). Multi-layer boards utilizing 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. PCB Area Requirements In some applications, PCB area is a criteria for device selection.
