Product Overview
7Semi MCP4725 12bit Digital to Analog I2C Breakout Module
The 7Semi MCP4725 12bit Digital-to-Analog I2C Breakout Module is a compact and reliable MCP4725 DAC module designed for accurate analog voltage generation in embedded and IoT projects. This single-channel digital-to-analog converter delivers true 12-bit resolution with a buffered rail-to-rail output, ensuring stable and precise voltage control.
Operating on a 2.7V to 5.5V supply, it communicates via the I2C interface supporting standard, fast, and high-speed modes up to 3.4 Mbps. With an onboard non-volatile EEPROM, the module retains its last configured output even after power-off, making it ideal for automation systems, signal generation, and microcontroller-based applications where consistent analog output is critical.
Features:
12-bit resolution provides high-precision output for precise analog signal representation.
On-Board Nonvolatile Memory (EEPROM): Configuration settings are retained even when the power is turned off, ensuring speedy power-up and project continuity.
Low power consumption: Ideal for battery-powered applications, which extends device life.
I2C Interface: Supports three modes: Standard (100 kbps), Fast (400 kbps), and High-Speed (3.4 Mbps), with eight addresses available for flexible communication.
Rail-to-Rail Output: Expands the output voltage range, increasing versatility in a variety of applications.
Fast Settling Time: With an average settling time of only 6 µs, you can analyze signals quickly and accurately.
