Key datasheet specifications and the closest alternatives, ranked by parametric similarity and grounded in the manufacturer datasheet.

01 — Overview

This datasheet covers the Microchip MCP4728, a 12-bit quad digital-to-analog converter with on-board EEPROM. It details electrical specifications for a precision voltage output DAC featuring rail-to-rail swing and nonvolatile memory for power-off retention. Key parameters include an operating supply of 2.7V to 5.5V, typical current consumption of 800µA to 1400µA, and fast settling time of 6µs. The device supports I2C interfaces at speeds up to 3.4Mbps with selectable internal or external voltage references. Available in a 10-lead MSOP package, it targets applications like sensor calibration, closed-loop control, and industrial process control.
