MCP4728A2-E/UN

Detailed Description:

The MCP4728A2-E/UN by Microchip is a high-accuracy, quad-channel, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with non-volatile memory (EEPROM). This component is designed to offer flexibility and ease of integration for applications requiring precise analog output. The device provides four DAC channels that enable it to generate multiple analog outputs from digital input values, making it suitable for sophisticated multi-channel applications such as biasing/trimming analog circuits, programmable voltage references, and adjustable power supplies. The integrated EEPROM allows device configurations and output values to be saved at shutdown, facilitating rapid start-up and maintaining system state across power cycles. This feature is particularly beneficial in applications where calibration data or specific settings must be preserved. The MCP4728A2-E/UN operates over a wide power supply range and offers an I2C interface for easy communication with most microcontrollers, making it a versatile choice for a broad spectrum of industrial, automotive, and consumer applications.
