The DAC 6-bit 1-channel MCP47A1 breakout is a compact solution for adding precise analog output to microcontrollers and embedded systems. Featuring the Microchip MCP47A1, this single-channel DAC provides 6-bit resolution (64 steps) for accurate voltage generation, ideal for LED dimming, motor control, sensor calibration, and waveform generation.

Operating from 1.8V to 5.5V, it supports both 3.3V and 5V logic, and communicates via a simple I²C interface for easy two-wire control. Its small footprint and minimal external components make it perfect for space-constrained or battery-powered projects.

With a Qwiic (formerly Qwiic) connector, setup is quick and solder-free, ensuring reliable, tool-less integration. This breakout is ideal for hobbyists and engineers looking for precise, efficient analog control in compact designs.

  • Resolution: 6-bit
  • Voltage: 1.8V - 5.5V
  • Dimensions: 38 x 22 mm / 1.5 x 0.9 inch
