DAC Control Register

The DAC control register is used to configure each DAC channel. The DAC control register options are shown in Table 22 and Table 23.

Table 23. DAC Control Register Bit Descriptions

Bit Name

Description

INT_ENABLE

Powers up the dc-to-dc converter, DAC, and internal amplifiers for the selected channel. This bit applies to individual

channels only; it does not enable the output. After setting this bit, it is recommended that a >200 µs delay be observed

before enabling the output to reduce the output enable glitch. See Figure 24 for plots of this glitch.

CLR_EN

Per-channel clear enable bit. This bit specifies whether the selected channel is cleared when the CLEAR pin is activated.

0 = channel is not cleared when the part is cleared (default).

1 = channel is cleared when the part is cleared.

OUTEN

Enables or disables the selected output channel.

0 = channel disabled (default).

1 = channel enabled.

RSET

Selects the internal current sense resistor or an external current sense resistor for the selected DAC channel.

0 = external resistor selected (default).

1 = internal resistor selected.

DC_DC

Powers up or powers down the dc-to-dc converter on the selected channel. All dc-to-dc converters can be powered up

simultaneously using the DCDC_ALL bit in the main control register. To power down the dc-to-dc converter, the OUTEN

and INT_ENABLE bits must also be set to 0.

0 = dc-to-dc converter is powered down (default).

1 = dc-to-dc converter is powered up.

R2, R1, R0

Selects the output range to be enabled.
