4.0
The MCP4728 device is a 12-bit 4-channel buffered
voltage
(EEPROM). The user can program the EEPROM with
I
each channel. The device has an internal charge pump
circuit to provide the programming voltage of the
EEPROM.
When the device is first powered-up, it automatically
loads the stored data in its EEPROM to the DAC input
and output registers, and provides analog outputs with
the saved settings immediately. This event does not
require LDAC or UDAC bit condition. After the device is
powered-up, the user can update the input registers
using I
updated with new register values if LDAC pin or UDAC
bit is low. The DAC output of each channel is buffered
with a low power and precision output amplifier. This
amplifier provides a rail-to-rail output with low offset
voltage and low noise.
The device uses a resistor string architecture. The
resistor ladder DAC can be driven from V
V
can select internal (2.048V) or external reference (V
for each DAC channel individually by software control.
The V
channel is controlled and operated independently.
The device has a Power-Down mode feature. Most of
the circuit in each
off. Therefore, operating power can be saved
significantly by putting any unused channel to the
Power-Down mode.
4.1
The device contains an internal Power-On-Reset
(POR) circuit that monitors power supply voltage (V
during operation. This circuit ensures correct device
start-up at system power-up and power-down events.
If the power supply voltage is less than the POR
threshold (V
and there will be no analog output. When the V
increases above the V
state. During the reset period, each channel uploads all
configuration and DAC input codes from EEPROM,
and analog output (V
This enables the device to return to the same state that
it was at the last write to the EEPROM before it was
powered off. The POR status is monitored by the POR
status bit by using the I

The POR circuit is also powered off if all channels are
powered down during the Power-Down mode.

The device can be reset by two independent events: (a)
by Power-On-Reset or (b) by I
Command. Under the reset conditions, the device
uploads the EEPROM data into both of the DAC input
and output registers simultaneously. The analog output
voltage of each channel is available immediately
regardless of the LDAC and UDAC bit conditions.

The DAC output is buffered with a low power precision
amplifier. This amplifier provides low offset voltage and
low noise, as well as rail-to-rail output.
The output amplifier can drive the resistive and high
capacitive loads without oscillation. The amplifier can
provide a maximum load current of 24 mA which is
enough for most of programmable voltage reference
applications.

4.3.1
The rail-to-rail output amplifier of each channel has
configurable gain option. When the internal voltage
reference is selected, the output amplifier gain has two
selection options: gain of 1 or gain of 2.
When the external reference is selected (V
