PRODUCTION DATA
The ADS131B23-Q1 integrates two independent Test DACs, TDACA and TDACB, one in each section of the device. TDACA uses the voltage reference in section A (REFA), and TDACB uses the voltage reference in section B (REFB). Use the TDACy_VALUE[2:0] bits to set the Test DAC output voltage to one of eight available settings. The output voltage of Test DAC A can be applied as an input signal to any of the ADCs in section B for measurement to check the accuracy and integrity of the ADCxB signal chains, including the voltage reference (REFB). Use the respective ADCxB multiplexer configuration bits to select Test DAC A as an input signal. Correspondingly, the output voltage of Test DAC B can be applied as an input signal to any of the ADCs in section A for measurement.
Selecting the Test DAC as an input signal for multiple ADCs at the same time can degrade the measurement accuracy because of loading of the Test DAC output.
