MCP4728 Component

The MCP4728 output component allows to use 12bit external quad DAC in order to have analog outputs on any board by using I²C. Devices default address is 0x60.

# Example configuration entry

# Set a global I²C connection
i2c:
  sda: 21
  scl: 22
  scan: true

# Set the component with default (address: 0x60 / global I²C)
mcp4728:
  - id: dac_output

Configuration variables

id (Optional, ID): The id to use for this output component.
address (Optional, int): Manually specify the I2C address of the DAC. Defaults to 0x60.
store_in_eeprom (Optional, boolean): Use SEQ_WRITE mode to also write to EEPROM sequentially. Defaults to false.

MCP4728 Output

The MCP4728 output component exposes 4 MCP4728 channels of a global MCP4728 as float outputs.

Configuration variables

id (Required, ID): The id to use for this output component.
mcp4728_id (Optional, ID): Manually specify the ID of the MCP4728. Use this if you have multiple MCP4728 chains you want to use at the same time.
channel (Required, string): Chose the channel of the MCP4728 chain of this output component. One of A, B, C or D.
vref (Optional, string): Chose the VREF source. One of vdd or internal. Defaults to vdd.
gain (Optional, string): Chose the GAIN multiplier for internal VREF. One of X1 or X2. Only useful when vdd=internal. Defaults to X1.
power_down (Optional, string): Chose the power down mode. In power down mode (value different from normal ) the output pin will be connected to GND using a resistor (1kOhm, 100kOhm or 500kOhm). One of normal, gnd_1k, gnd_100k or gnd_500k. Defaults to normal.
All other options from Output.

Output voltage range will be different depending on the vref source and gain. When vref=vdd, output voltage will range from 0.000V to VDD. When vref=internal, output voltage will range from 0.000V to 2.048V with gain=X1 and from 0.000V to 4.096V with gain=X2.
