CHARACTERISTICS
Notice: Stresses above those listed under Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a
stress rating only and functional operation of the device at
those or any other conditions above those indicated in the
operational listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
affect device reliability.
5V AC/DC CHARACTERISTICS
Electrical Specifications: Unless otherwise indicated, VDD = 5V, AVSS = 0V, VREF = 2.048V, output buffer gain (G) = 2x, RL = 5 k
to GND, CL = 100 pF TA = -40 to +85C. Typical values at +25C.

Note 1:
The MCP492X family of DACs operate over this extended temperature range, but with reduced
performance. Operation in this range must not cause TJ to exceed the Maximum Junction Temperature of
150C.

The graphs and tables provided following this note are a statistical summary based on a limited number of
samples and are provided for informational purposes only. The performance characteristics listed herein
are not tested or guaranteed. In some graphs or tables, the data presented may be outside the specified
operating range (e.g., outside specified power supply range) and therefore outside the warranted range.

SHUTDOWN MODE
Shutdown mode can be entered by using either hardware or software commands. The hardware pin
(SHDN) is only available on the MCP4922. During
Shutdown mode, the supply current is isolated from
most of the internal circuitry. The serial interface
remains active, thus allowing a write command to
bring the device out of Shutdown mode. When the
output amplifiers are shut down, the feedback resistance (typically 500 k) produces a high-impedance
path to AVSS. The device will remain in Shutdown
mode until the SHDN pin is brought high and a write
command with SD = 1 is latched into the device.
When a DAC is changed from Shutdown to Active
mode, the output settling time takes < 10 s, but
greater than the standard Active mode settling time
(4.5 s).

A 12-bit DAC provides significantly more gain/attenuation 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 precise needs of
the application.

In the event the full Microchip part number cannot be marked on one line, it will
be carried over to the next line thus limiting the number of available characters
for customer specific information.
Standard marking consists of Microchip part number, year code, week code, traceability code (facility
code, mask rev#, and assembly code). For marking beyond this, certain price adders apply. Please
check with your Microchip Sales Office.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchips Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as unbreakable.
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchips code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
