PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
Each DAC pair in the device are independently configurable to operate as a differential output pair. The differential output of a DACx-y pair is updated by writing to the DACx channel. For proper operation, configure the two DAC pairs to the same output range before enabling differential mode. Figure 6-2 and Figure 6-3 show the ideal differential output voltages (VDIFF) and common mode voltages (VCM) for a DAC differential pair configured for ±20-V and 0 to 40-V operation, respectively.
After being configured as a differential output, set the DACx-y pair for toggle operation by updating the DACx toggle registers; see Section 6.4.1.
Imbalances between the two differential signals result in common-mode and amplitude errors. The device incorporates an offset register that enables the user to introduce a voltage offset to the DACy channel of the DACx-y differential pair to compensate for a dc offset error between the two channels. The offset compensation gives approximately a ±0.2%FSR adjustment window. Rewrite the differential DAC data register after an update to the offset register.
