PCF8591 ADC/DAC Module ADC & DAC Converter Board

YL-40 PCF8591 ADC/DAC Module ADC & DAC Converter Board is an ADC with 4 analogue inputs which can be used as two differential inputs.

It uses the I2C communications interface and performs a successive approximation conversion process – the same as the operation of the ADC in the Arduino. It also has a DAC allowing analogue output.

The YL-40 PCF8591 ADC/DAC Module is a single-chip, single-supply and low-power 8-bit CMOS data acquisition device with four analog inputs, one analog output and a serial I2C-bus interface.

Three address pins A0, A1 and A2 are used for programming the hardware address, allowing maximum of eight devices connected to the I2C-bus without additional hardware.

Address, control and data to and from the device are transferred serially via the two-line bidirectional I2C-bus.

Measuring voltage and adjusting it is what electronics is all about so you won’t get far without friends like the YL-40 PCF8591 ADC/DAC Module.

Analog to Digital Converters help by measuring an analog voltage and turning it into something a microcontroller like a Metro or Arduino can understand.

If you’re using a single board computer like a Raspberry Pi, you might not have any other way to measure a voltage because even though they are well equipped for digital circuits, many boards of that type don’t have any pins that can measure analog voltages.

Features: –
