Arduino Library for the SparkFun MCP4725 Arduino Library
The SparkFun MCP4725 Arduino Library provides full control over Microchip's MCP4725, a 12-bit single-channel I2C digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The MCP4725 is compatible with SparkFun's Qwiic connect system, so no soldering is required to get started. An onboard EEPROM allows the device to retain its DAC value and power-down settings across power cycles, making it ideal for applications that require a consistent analog output at startup.
This library is available in the Arduino Library Manager; search for SparkFun MCP4725.
This library allows you to:
- Set a 12-bit DAC output value (0–4095)
- Use fast-mode writes for high-speed waveform generation
- Persist DAC values and power-down settings to onboard EEPROM
- Read back the current DAC register and EEPROM contents
- Configure three power-down modes (1 kΩ, 100 kΩ, and 500 kΩ load to GND)
