Preface RECOMMENDED READING This user's guide describes how to use MCP4725 SOT-23-6 Evaluation Board. The following Microchip documents are available and recommended as supplemental reference resources. PICkit™ Serial Analyzer User’s Guide (DS51647) Consult this document for instructions on how to use the PICkit Serial Analyzer hardware and software.
(less than 1 kΩ) for the high-speed mode (3.4 MHz) GETTING STARTED WITH PICKIT SERIAL ANALYZER The user can use the MCP4725 SOT-23-6 Evaluation Board in two different ways: (a) together with the PICkit Serial Analyzer or (b) by connecting this board to the user’s target board directly.

This section describes how to evaluate the MCP4725 device using the PICkit Serial Analyzer. 1.3.1.1 HARDWARE SET-UP 1. Connect the MCP4725 SOT-23-6 Evaluation Board and the PICkit Serial Analyzer together using the J1 connector. 2. Connect a USB cable between the PICkit Serial Analyzer and a Personal Computer.

If you choose PICkit Serial will power my device option, and the 5 Volt option as shown below, the MCP4725 SOT-23-6 Evaluation Board is powered by the 5 VDC from the PICkit Serial Analyzer through the J1 connector. In this case, make sure that the JP2 jumper on the MCP4725 SOT-23-6 Evaluation Board is con- nected.

EEPROM. The data in the EEPROM is non-volatile. To check this non-volatile data, you can remove the V from the MCP4725 SOT-23-6 Evaluation Board once, and bring back up the V again. You will see the same analog voltage output at the V terminal.

MCP4725 SOT-23-6 Evaluation Board User’s Guide 7. Reading both the DAC Register and EEPROM data. This experiment can be done by two steps: (a) Write the DAC Register and EEPROM data using a write command. (b) Send Read Command (Request 5 bytes) and see the results on the PICkit Serial Transactions page.
