MCP4706A0T-E

Microchip Tech · Digital To Analog Converters (DAC) · SOT-23-6

MCP4706A0T-E from Microchip Tech, in a SOT-23-6. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VOUT output DAC buffered analog output that swings from approximately 0V to approximately VDD, with full-scale range from VSS to G × VRL (G = 1x or 2x gain).
2 VSS power_in Device ground reference that must be connected to a ground plane through a low-impedance connection.
3 VDD power_in Positive supply voltage input relative to VSS, with a ~0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor recommended close to the pin.
4 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data pin, an open-drain N-channel driver that requires a pull-up resistor from VDD; data must remain stable while SCL is high except during Start and Stop conditions.
5 SCL input I2C serial clock pin that accepts only external clocks from the master, with an open-drain N-channel driver requiring a pull-up resistor from VDD.
6 VREF power_in External voltage reference input that can be selected as the resistor ladder reference (buffered or unbuffered), and is disconnected from the internal circuit when VDD is selected as the reference.
