The Great Search: 16 Bit Digital Analog Converter (DAC)
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
Adafruit received a request over email for a 16-Bit resolution DAC to match with the 16-Bit ADC we stock (ADS1115). Not a bad idea! We stock a few DAC breakouts (https://www.adafruit.com/?q=dac&sort=BestMatch) but they are either 8-bit or 12-bit MCP47xx's, and there may be times you really want something a little smoother for precision control. We're going to try and make something with Stemma QT so I2C control.
