7.3.3 Output Range

The maximum output range of the DAC9881 is VREFL to (VREFH – VREFL) × G, where G is the output buffer gain set by the GAIN pin. When the GAIN pin is connected to DGND, the output buffer gain = 1. When the GAIN pin is connected to IOVDD, the output buffer gain = 2. The output range must not be greater than AVDD; otherwise, output saturation occurs. The DAC9881 output transfer function is given in Equation 1:

Equation 1. DAC9881 q_vout_bas438.gif

where

  • CODE = 0 to 262143. This is the digital code loaded to the DAC
  • Buffer Gain = 1 or 2 (set by the GAIN pin)
  • VREFH = reference high voltage applied to the device
  • VREFL = reference low voltage applied to the device
