5.3 Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)

The STM32G0 and MSPM0 family of parts both offer 12-bit DAC peripherals to perform digital to analog conversion for various applications. In the STM32G0 documentation, this peripheral is referred to just as the DAC. In the MSPM0 Technical Reference Manual, the MSPM0 series data sheets, and the MSPM0 SDK, the 12-bit DAC peripheral is referred to as the DAC12. This differentiates the DAC12 from the 8-bits DACs which are available for use with each comparator peripheral included in a given MSPM0 device. Those additional 8-bit DACs are covered in the comparator section of this document. This DAC12 peripheral is only available on the MSPM0G family of devices.

The features of the 12-bit DAC peripherals for the STM32G0 and MSPM0G are summarized in Table 5-4.
