MCP4716A2T-E/CH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MCP4716A2T-E/CH is a 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Microchip Technology, classified as a data acquisition component. This single-channel voltage output DAC operates across a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and communicates via I2C interface. The device is actively produced and maintains full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH standards. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the MCP4716 product family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MCP4716A2T-E/CH are identified within the MCP4716 product family based on strict electrical and mechanical equivalence. The substitution criteria are:

• Resolution: All substitute parts maintain 10-bit resolution with identical INL/DNL specifications (±0.5, ±0.05 LSB)
• Functional Architecture: All parts use R-2R architecture with single-channel voltage-buffered output
• Interface Protocol: All parts communicate via I2C interface
• Supply Voltage Range: All parts operate across 2.7V to 5.5V for both analog and digital supplies
• Settling Time: All parts maintain 6µs typical settling time
• Package Compatibility: All parts use SOT-23-6 surface mount package
• Thermal Range: All parts operate across -40°C to 125°C
• Compliance: All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The identified substitutes are MCP4716A0T-E/CH, MCP4716A1T-E/CH, and MCP4716A3T-E/CH. These parts differ only in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel) and inventory availability, with no electrical performance variation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility with the MCP4716A2T-E/CH. Selection between the main part and substitutes is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements:

• MCP4716A2T-E/CH: Tape & Reel packaging format with 3440 units in stock
• MCP4716A0T-E/CH: Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging format with 17300 units in stock
• MCP4716A1T-E/CH: Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging format with 3920 units in stock
• MCP4716A3T-E/CH: Tape & Reel packaging format with 4060 units in stock

All parts are actively produced, ROHS3 compliant, and REACH unaffected. Selection should be based on packaging compatibility with assembly equipment and inventory availability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MCP4716A0T-E/CH, MCP4716A1T-E/CH, and MCP4716A3T-E/CH electrically identical to MCP4716A2T-E/CH?

A: Yes. All parts share identical electrical specifications including 10-bit resolution, I2C interface, 6µs settling time, R-2R architecture, and operating ranges for supply voltage and temperature. No functional differences exist between these parts.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Packaging format affects handling and assembly processes. Tape & Reel (TR) is continuous reel packaging suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® provides smaller quantities in tape format. Both formats use the same SOT-23-6 component package.

Q: Can I substitute MCP4716A0T-E/CH for MCP4716A2T-E/CH in my design?

A: Yes, provided your assembly equipment supports Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging format. All electrical and thermal specifications are identical, and the SOT-23-6 package footprint is unchanged.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. Compliance certifications are identical across all substitute parts.

Q: Which substitute part should I select if packaging format is not a constraint?

A: Selection should be based on inventory availability and supply chain logistics. MCP4716A0T-E/CH offers the highest inventory level at 17300 units. All parts are actively produced with no planned discontinuation.
