The PCA9691 is a single chip, single supply, low power, 8-bit CMOS data acquisition device with four analog inputs, one analog output and a serial I 2C-bus interface. Three address pins (A0, A1 and A2) are used for programming the hardware address, allowing the use of up to 64 PCA9691 devices connected to the I 2C-bus without additional hardware. Address, control and data to and from the PCA9691 are transferred via the serial two-line bidirectional I 2C-bus. The functions of the PCA9691 include: • Analog input multiplexing • On-chip sample and hold • 8-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) conversion • 8-bit Digital-to-Analog (D/A) conversion The maximum conversion rate is given by the maximum frequency of the I 2C-bus.
