MCP4725 Pinout

MCP4725 Description

The MCP4725 is a low-power, high accuracy, single channel, 12-bit buffered voltage output Digital-toAnalog Convertor (DAC) with non-volatile memory (EEPROM). Its on-board precision output amplifier allows it to achieve rail-to-rail analog output swing.

It is an ideal DAC device where design simplicity and small footprint is desired, and for applications requiring the DAC device settings to be saved during power-off time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect MCP4725 Sparkfun module?
When learning about the world of microcontrollers, you will come across analog-to-digital converters quite frequently. These allows us to read in signals from analog sensors and convert them into a digital language our microcontrollers and other computational devices can understand. However, what if you need to do the opposite? What if you need your Arduino to speak the language of analog signals? Enter the MCP4725 Digital-toAnalog Converter Breakout.
How do I use MCP4725 Adafruit module?
This breakout board features the easy-to-use MCP4725 12-bit DAC. Control it via I2C and send it the value you want it to output, and the VOUT pin will have it. It is great for audio / analog projects, such as when you can't use PWM but need a sine wave or adjustable bias point.
Where can I find MCP4725 I2C address?
This is a 12 bit DAC converter. What this means is that it will accept up to 4096 possible inputs to provide an analog output, where an output value of zero is zero and an output value of 4095 is full scale. Full scale is determined by the reference voltage you supply to the VCC pin. The supply voltage can be anywhere from 2.7 volts to 5.5 volts.
How MCP4725 works?
MCP4725 IC is a 12-Bit Digital to Analog Converter Module which is used to generate output analog voltages from (0 to 5V) and it is controlled by using I2C communication. It also comes with on board nonvolatile memory EEPROM. This IC has 12-Bit resolution.
