Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution and output voltage range does the MCP4726A0T-E/CH DAC provide?
The MCP4726A0T-E/CH is a 12-bit DAC delivering 4096 discrete output levels across an analog output range of 0.01 V to 5.46 V. This 12-bit resolution gives a least-significant-bit step of approximately 1.3 mV at 5 V full scale, suitable for precision bias and calibration tasks.
Does the MCP4726A0T-E/CH retain its programmed output setting after power is removed?
Yes. The device integrates on-chip EEPROM that stores the last programmed DAC code and configuration bits. On the next power-up, the output is restored to the saved 12-bit value without requiring host intervention, which simplifies firmware and reduces start-up time in calibrated analog systems.
How does the I2C interface on the MCP4726A0T-E/CH simplify multi-DAC system designs?
The I2C serial bus uses only 2 wires (SDA and SCL) and supports multiple devices sharing the same bus lines. The MCP4726A0T-E/CH address bits allow up to 8 devices per bus segment, reducing the number of GPIO pins required compared to parallel or SPI DAC solutions in multi-channel voltage generation systems.
For a compact sensor-calibration PCB, how small is the MCP4726A0T-E/CH footprint?
The MCP4726A0T-E/CH ships in a 6-pin SOT-23 package with a body measuring approximately 2.9 mm x 1.6 mm, making it one of the smallest 12-bit DAC options available. This form factor fits comfortably even on densely populated sensor front-end boards alongside signal-conditioning amplifiers.
