PRODUCTION DATA
DAC-n can be cleared with hardware or software, as shown in Figure 7-11. When DAC-n goes to a clear state, DAC-n is immediately loaded with predefined code in the DAC-n-CLR-setting register, and the output is set to the corresponding level to shut down the external LDMOS device. However, the DAC-n-data register does not change. When the DAC goes back to normal operation, DAC-n is immediately loaded with the previous data from the DAC-n-data register and the output of DACn-OUT is set back to the previous level to restore LDMOS to the status before shutdown, regardless of the SLDAC-n bit status.
The device is implemented with two external control lines, the DAC-CLR-0 and DAC-CLR-1 pins, to clear the DACs. When either pin goes low, the corresponding user-selected DACs are in a cleared state. The HW_DAC-CLR-0 register determines which DAC is cleared when the DAC-CLR-0 pin is low. The register contains 12 clear bits (CLR-n), one per DAC. If the CLR-n bit is 1, DAC-n is in a cleared state when the DAC-CLR-0 pin is low. However, if the CLR-n bit is 0, DAC-n does not change when the pin is low. Likewise, the HW-DAC-CLR-1 register determines which DAC is cleared when the DAC-CLR-1 pin is low.
Writing directly to the SW_DAC_CLR register puts the selected DACs in a cleared state. DACs can also be forced into a clear state by alarm events. The AUTO-DAC-CLR-SOURCE register specifies which alarm events force the DACs into a clear state, and the AUTO-DAC-CLR-EN register defines which DACs are forced into a clear state. Refer to the AUTO-DAC-CLR-SOURCE register and AUTO-DAC-CLR-EN register for further details.
