Product description: MCP2221A - USB to GPIO, ADC, I2C converter - Stemma QT / Qwiic - Adafruit 4471
The module is based on the MCP2221A system, equipped with GPIO ports, ADC analog inputs and I2C interface, to which access is possible via the USB type C connector. On the converter board you can also find one Qwiic / Stemma QT connector, which allows for quick and easy connection of I2C modules with the same connector. The built-in regulator allows you to operate modules operating with 3 V logic. Logic voltage can be changed to 5 V by cutting the 3 V jumper and soldering with 5 V on the bottom of the board.
* 3.3 V or 5 V selectable with a jumper.
** same DAC output on both pins.
What can the MCP2221 converter do?
The board with the MCP2221 chip can be connected to the computer via the USB type C connector and operate the LEDs , motor drivers and other modules and sensors via GPIO, 10-bit analog input (ADC), 5-bit DAC output and I2C and UART interface. The pins of the board work with a voltage of 3 V or 5 V, selected with a jumper on the bottom of the board. The module can be programmed in Python.
The manufacturer has prepared a user guide with sample programs, which makes it much easier to start working with the module.
