PRODUCTION DATA
The device features eight analog control channels. Each control channel is centered on a DAC that operates from the device voltage reference. Four of these DACs can be used for setting the internal switches off voltages. The DACs in the device consist of a 13-bit string DAC and an output voltage buffer. Figure 6-1 shows a block diagram of the DAC architecture.
The DACs can be configured for positive- or negative-output-range operation with identical voltage resolution. In positive-output-range operation, the full-scale range is 0V to 10V; however, the output voltage is limited by VCC. In negative-output-range operation, the full-scale range is –10V to 0V, and the output voltage is limited by VSS.
After a reset event, all the DAC registers are set to zero-code, the DAC output amplifiers are powered down, and the DAC outputs are clamped to VSS. Each DAC can be independently enabled through software, by writing a 1 to the appropriate bit of the PWR_EN register (located in the DAC Configuration page of the register map).
