Initialization Set Up

To check the basic functionality and working of the DAC81401, follow the steps as described here:

  • Power up the device with supply values AVDD = 15 V, AVSS = –15 V, VDD = 5 V and IOVDD = 3.3 V (these are just recommendation and can be different as per device operating conditions)

  • Write SPI frame in the following sequence:
    • Write 0x0A04 to the SPI_CONFIG (0x03) register to power up the device
    • Write 0x0000 to the GEN_CONFIG (0x04) register to power up the internal reference
    • Write 0xFFFE to the DAC_PWDWN (0x09) register to power up the DAC output
    • Write 0x0005 to the DACRANGE (0x0A) register to configure the DAC in ±5‑V range, default output range is 0 V to 5 V
    • Write 0x0000, 0x7FFF or 0xFFFF to the DAC (0x10) register to configure the DAC81401 VOUT to 2.5‑V, 0 V, or 2.5‑V
