MCP4728 DAC I2C converter - 4 channels + EEPROM - Adafruit 4470

Description: MCP4728 DAC I2C converter - 4 channels + EEPROM - Adafruit 4470.

Digital-to-analogue converter based onMCP4728chip. It allows to obtain4 analog outputsfrom any microcontroller equipped withI2Cinterface, e.g. Arduino. The converter is poweredfrom 2.7 V to 5.5 V.Resolution is12-bit. For easy connection, it is equipped withQwiicconnectors. DAC converters are used e.g. to generate sound, operate musical instruments and many other projects.

DAC outputs of the MCP4728 DAC

The module communicates with any microcontroller equipped with I2C communication interface. MCP4728 is powered from2.7 Vto5.5 V. It hasQwiicconnectors for simple connection.

Pin Description VCC Supply voltage from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. GND The weight of the system. SCL I2C bus clock line. SDA I2C bus data line. LDAC The blocking pin can be used to block the output during channel updates. RDY Pin ready. It switches to a low state when data is stored in the EEPROM. When the process is complete, it goes to a high state. VA, VB, VC, VD Analogue outputs. DAC MCP4728 specifications
