PCF8591 8-bit A/D and D/A converter Module
Introduction
The PCF8591 module consists of a master control chip PCF8591, some resistors and capacitors .It can data acquisition device and has 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 the use of up to 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.
The schematic diagram of the module is as follows:
Note:
From the schematic diagram, a potentiometer is connected to AIN0. You can connect the P3 by the jumper cap, which is to wire the two pins next to the pot, so the pot can be used as the input of AIN0.
PCF8591
The PCF8591 is a single-chip, single-supply 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 the use of up to 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. The functions of the device include analog input multiplexing, on-chip track and hold function, 8-bit analog-to-digital conversion and an 8-bit digital-to-analog conversion. The maximum conversion rate is given by the maximum speed of the I2C-bus.
