19.4.12 DAC channel buffer calibration
The transfer function for an N-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is:
Where V
OUT
is the analog output, D is the digital input, G is the gain, V
ref
is the nominal full-
scale voltage, and V
os is the offset voltage. For an ideal DAC channel, G = 1 and Vos = 0.
Due to output buffer characteristics, the voltage offset may differ from part-to-part and
introduce an absolute offset error on the analog output. To compensate the V
os, a calibration
is required by a trimming technique.
The calibration is only valid when the DAC channel is operating with buffer enabled
(MODE1[2:0] = 000b or 001b or 100b or 101b). if applied in other modes when the buffer is
off, it has no effect. During the calibration:
• The buffer output is disconnected from the pin internal/external connections and put in
tristate mode (HiZ).
• The buffer acts as a comparator to sense the middle-code value 0x800 and compare it
to VREF+/2 signal through an internal bridge, then toggle its output signal to 0 or 1
depending on the comparison result (CAL_FLAG1 bit).
Two calibration techniques are provided:
• Factory trimming (default setting)
The DAC buffer offset is factory trimmed. The default value of OTRIM1[4:0] bits in
DAC_CCR register is the factory trimming value and it is loaded once DAC digital
interface is reset.
• User trimming
The user trimming can be done when the operating conditions differs from nominal
factory trimming conditions and in particular when V
DDA
voltage, temperature, VREF+
values change and can be done at any point during application by software.
Note: Refer to the datasheet for more details of the Nominal factory trimming conditions
