Non-Volatile EEPROM Memory
The MCP4725 device has a 14-bit wide EEPROM
memory to store configuration bit (2 bits) and DAC
input data (12 bits). These bits are readable and re-
writable with I

C interface commands. The device has
an on-chip charge pump circuit to write the EEPROM
memory bits without using an external program
voltage.
The EEPROM writing operation is initiated when the
device receives an EEPROM write command (C2 = 0,
C1 = 1, C0 = 1). The configuration and writing data bits
memory bits without using an external program
voltage.
The EEPROM writing operation is initiated when the
device receives an EEPROM write command (C2 = 0,
C1 = 1, C0 = 1). The configuration and writing data bits
are transferred to the EEPROM memory block. A
status bit, RDY/BSY, stays low during the EEPROM
writing and goes high as the write operation is
completed. While the RDY/BSY bit is low (during the
EEPROM writing), any new write command is ignored
(for EEPROM or DAC register).
