DAC Scaling
The DAC output voltage is determined by the following:
V
out
= (N/16,384 • 32) - 16
where N = Decimal value of DAC code programmed; MSB, LSB.
Table B-4 shows some example values of N, and the
corresponding MSBs, LSBs, and DAC voltage outputs.
Control Register (W) Base + A
h
To reset the Switch/Load Unit including DACs, Open Drain
outputs and all Load and Pin Cards, write a 1 to this register,
wait 5 mS and then write a 0 to this register. DACs will reset to
0 Vout.
To set the value of the DAC output, always write the MSB first, followed
by the LSB (register offset 9
h
). The output of the DAC will not update until
the LSB is written. See “DAC Scaling".
