The DACx3202 are
dual-channel buffered, force-sense output, voltage-output and current-output smart
DACs that include an NVM and internal reference, and available in a tiny 3-mm × 3-mm
package.
- In voltage-output mode, short the OUTx and FBx pins for each channel. In
current-output mode, leave the FBx pins unconnected. The FBx pins function as
inputs in comparator mode.
- The external reference must not exceed VDD, either during transient or
steady-state conditions. For the best Hi-Z output performance, use a pullup
resistor on the VREF pin to VDD. In case the VDD remains floating during the off
condition, place a 100-kΩ resistor to AGND for proper detection of the VDD off
condition.
- All the digital outputs are open drain; use external pullup resistors on these
pins.
- The interface protocol is detected at power-on, and the device locks to the
protocol as long as VDD is on.
- When allocating nonoverlapping I2C addresses on a system
I2C bus, consider the broadcast address as well. I2C
timeout can be enabled for robustness.
- SPI mode is 3-wire by default. Configure the GPIO pin as SDO in the NVM for SPI
readback capability. The SPI clock speed in readback mode is slower than that in
write mode.
- Power-down mode sets the DAC outputs in Hi-Z by default. Change the
configuration appropriately for different power-down settings. The DAC channels
can also power-up with a programmed DAC code in the NVM.
