About this product
The SparkFun Qwiic 12-Bit DAC Breakout features the MCP4725 digital-to-analog converter, delivering 12-bit resolution analog output via I2C. Designed for makers and engineers, it includes Qwiic connectors for solderless prototyping and a 2.7-5.5V operating range.
Key features
- 12-bit resolution analog output (0-4095)
- I2C interface with selectable address (0x60-0x63)
- Qwiic connectors for solderless daisy-chaining
- 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage range
Pros
- I2C interface uses only two wires
- Qwiic connectors simplify prototyping
- Multiple address options for multi-device setups
- Includes onboard reference and output buffer
Cons
- No integrated amplifier for higher current
- Only 12-bit resolution (not 16-bit)
- Requires Qwiic cable or soldering for non-Qwiic systems
Buying advice
Who should consider this product and what to check before buying.
This DAC breakout is best for makers needing precise analog control in Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects. Verify your microcontroller's I2C logic level compatibility (3.3V/5V). Good value for prototyping, but consider external amplifiers for higher current loads.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about buying this product.
Who is this product best for?
This DAC breakout is ideal for electronics hobbyists, makers, and engineers who need to produce precise analog voltages from a digital microcontroller. It excels in projects like generating control voltages for audio synthesizers, setting reference voltages, or creating variable analog signals in test and measurement setups.
What should shoppers check before buying?
Shoppers should verify their microcontroller supports I2C communication and check the logic level voltage (3.3V or 5V) as the breakout can operate at either. Also consider the number of analog outputs needed: this is a single-channel device. If multiple channels are required, explore multi-channel DACs or use multiple breakouts with different I2C addresses.
