## Description

The Adafruit DAC7578 Breakout provides eight independent 12-bit digital-to-analogue converters in a single package, all controllable over I2C. Set precise output voltages on up to eight channels simultaneously, making it ideal for multi-channel voltage control, LED dimming, or sensor calibration. The DAC7578 is ratiometric — output 0 equals ground and output 4095 equals the reference voltage. By default, Vref is tied to the power pin, but you can cut a jumper to supply an external precision reference for more accurate output control. Key Features 8× 12-Bit DAC Channels – Independent voltage outputs from a single chip with 4096-step resolution I2C Interface – Simple two-wire control from any microcontroller or SBC 3.3V or 5V Compatible – Works with any logic level Ratiometric Output – 0 to Vref range (Vref tied to power by default, cuttable jumper for external reference) STEMMA QT / Qwiic Connectors – Two JST SH connectors for easy I2C daisy-chaining Also Available DAC6578 Breakout – 8-channel 10-bit version Ideal For Multi-channel voltage control and waveform generation LED brightness control across multiple channels Sensor calibration and test equipment Analogue signal simulation Package Contents 1× Adafruit DAC7578 Breakout (assembled) Note: STEMMA QT cable not included.
