Macro reference

ControlPins

Fc9-comp-macro.png ControlPins
Allows Shutdown (SHDN) and Latch (LDAC) pins to be controlled directly if enabled. 
Fc9-bool-icon.png - BOOL Latch
0 = Data output driven from DAC register, 1 = Data output locked 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Disable

Fc9-comp-macro.png Disable
Disables the DAC output. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Channel
Range: 0-3 / 0=DAC Channel 0 / 1=DAC Channel 1 ... 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Enable

Fc9-comp-macro.png Enable
Enables the DAC Output. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Channel
Range: 0-3 / 0=DAC Channel 0 / 1=DAC Channel 1 ... 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Initialise

Fc9-comp-macro.png Initialise
Configures the SPI peripheral ready for communications and initialises the internal variables. DAC needs to be enabled before any output voltage can be generated. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


SetDeviceAddress

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetDeviceAddress
Writes a new device address into EE memory. The use LDAC pin component property must be set to true and the LDAC pin should be unique for every MCP4728 device connected to the I2C bus. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE OldAddress
Range: 0-7 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE NewAddress
Range: 0-7 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


SetInitialEEOutput

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetInitialEEOutput
Stores a DAC value into EE memory to be used on power up. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Channel
Range: 0-3 / 0=DAC Channel 0 / 1=DAC Channel 1 ... 
Fc9-u16-icon.png - UINT DAC_Value
The value to output to the DAC 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


SetOutput

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetOutput
Sets the output voltage of the DAC 12-Bit: Range 0-4095 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Channel
Range: 0-3 / 0=DAC Channel 0 / 1=DAC Channel 1 ... 
Fc9-u16-icon.png - UINT DAC_Value
The value to output to the DAC 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Pull Down Option
 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png VREF Option
 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Gain Option
Selects the maximum reference value for the DAC 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Vref Voltage
Reference Voltage, Used to calculate the Voltage resolution. 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png Steps
Number of discrete output states available from the DAC. 
Fc9-type-14-icon.png Control Bits
Number of digital control bits 
Fc9-type-10-icon.png Resolution
Maximum output resolution based on number of control bits. 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Voltage Resolution
Specifies the Resolution per digital bit in terms of Voltage. 
Fc9-conn-icon.png I2C Connections
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Device Address
 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Channel
Channel selection 
Fc9-type-5-icon.png SDA
Pin used for SDA (data signal) 
Fc9-type-5-icon.png SCL
Pin used for SCL (clock signal) 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Baud Select
Baud rate option selector 
Fc9-type-14-icon.png Baud Rate
Baud rate to be used 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Stop Delay
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.  
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Use LDAC Pin
Allows the LDAC pin to be driven from an output pin on the microcontroller. If not used then tie the LDAC pin to GND to allow the DAC to function.
