Frequently Asked Questions

How does MCP4726A3T-E/CH store its DAC output setting when power is removed?

MCP4726A3T-E/CH includes integrated EEPROM that saves the 12-bit DAC code and configuration. On the next power-up, the device restores the stored output automatically, producing a defined analog voltage between 0.01 V and 5.46 V without requiring a microcontroller to re-initialize it.

What I2C address options are available for MCP4726A3T-E/CH when multiple DACs are used on the same bus?

The A3 variant (MCP4726A3T-E/CH) has a fixed I2C address prefix with up to 2 address bits configurable, supporting multiple devices on a single 2-wire I2C bus operating at standard 100 kHz or fast 400 kHz modes.

For a 3.3 V microcontroller design, is MCP4726A3T-E/CH compatible with VDD supply voltages below 5 V?

Yes. MCP4726A3T-E/CH operates from a VDD supply ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, making it directly compatible with 3.3 V systems. The output spans 0.01 V to 5.46 V relative to VDD, providing full-scale 12-bit resolution within the supply range.

What is the projected availability and lifecycle risk for MCP4726A3T-E/CH in a long-term production program?

MCP4726A3T-E/CH has a YTEOL of 13 years, indicating active production status with a long expected lifecycle. Factory lead time is approximately 7 weeks, so procurement teams should plan buffer stock for production schedules requiring consistent 12-bit DAC supply.
