Introduction to MCP4725 Module
Single channel (1 DA output)
12-bit resolution
I2C interface (standard, fast, high-speed support)
2.7V to 5.5V power supply
internal EEPROM storage settings
I2C address configurable (A0) (A1, A2 built-in, the default is '00 ')
MCP4725 module address
The internal default device address of the chip starts with '1100', A2 and A1 are internally pulled down to '00', and A0 is '0' by default, so the default device address is 0x60.
If two 4725 modules are used at the same time, the A0 of one of the modules can be changed to pull-up processing. The change position is shown in the figure below. If the solder is changed to ADDR and connected to VCC, the device address is 0x61.
Connection between the module and Arduino Nano
SDA is connected to A4 of Nano;
SCL is connected to A5
of Nano ; VCC is connected to 5V
of Nano ; GND is connected to GND of Nano;
MCP4725 module output voltage coding calculation
MCP4725 is 12 as DAC, so the coding range is 0~4096.
The relationship between the output voltage value and the code is as follows.
The minimum resolution of the module is related to the power supply voltage Vdd. When the power supply is 5V, the minimum resolution is 1.22mV, and the resolution calculation formula is Vdd/4096, as shown in the figure below.

This sketch takes data from a lookup table to provide
waveforms to be generated by the MCP4725 DAC.
#include <Wire.h>//Include the Wire library to I2C
//This is the I2C Address of the MCP4725, by default (A0 pulled to GND).
#define MCP4725_ADDR 0x60
//For devices with A0 pulled HIGH, use 0x61
//Sinewave Tables were generated using this calculator:

int lookup = 0;//varaible for navigating through the tables
