What are the key features of MCP4728A1-E/UN?

  • 4-channel 12-bit DAC providing 4096 resolution steps per output channel
  • I2C serial interface with programmable device address for multi-device bus sharing
  • Non-volatile EEPROM storage retaining DAC output codes through power cycles
  • Internal voltage reference option eliminating need for external precision reference
  • Analog output voltage range up to 5.5 V compatible with 5V system rails
  • 10-pin MSOP package for compact precision analog circuit integration

What is MCP4728A1-E/UN used for?

The MCP4728A1-E/UN is ideal for multi-channel precision voltage generation in calibration equipment, programmable current sources, and analog bias control circuits requiring 4 independent 12-bit outputs. Its non-volatile output memory makes it well-suited for set-and-forget calibration scenarios where outputs must restore automatically at power-up without MCU intervention. Industrial process controllers, audio signal processing boards, and automated test equipment benefit from its quad-channel architecture with shared I2C bus connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many output channels does the MCP4728A1-E/UN provide, and what resolution does each channel offer?

The MCP4728A1-E/UN provides 4 independent output channels, each with 12-bit resolution offering 4096 discrete voltage steps. With a 5V reference, this results in an output step size of approximately 1.22 mV per step, enabling fine-grained analog voltage control across all 4 channels simultaneously via a single I2C bus.

What is the advantage of the non-volatile EEPROM output memory in the MCP4728A1-E/UN for industrial designs?

The non-volatile EEPROM in each of the 4 DAC channels stores the last programmed output code and restores it automatically at power-up, eliminating the need for the host microcontroller to reprogram the DAC values after every power cycle. This is critical in industrial calibration fixtures, field-deployed sensor transmitters, and battery-backed instruments where startup time and initialization complexity must be minimized.

How does the MCP4728A1-E/UN's I2C address configurability support multi-device designs?

The MCP4728A1-E/UN supports programmable I2C device addresses, allowing up to 8 devices to coexist on a single 2-wire I2C bus without address conflicts. In a multi-zone analog control board requiring 16 or more independent DAC channels, multiple MCP4728A1-E/UN devices can be combined to expand output count while sharing only 2 signal wires from the host controller.
