6.3.1.2 DAC Buffer Amplifier

The VOUT output pin is driven by the DAC output buffer amplifier. The output amplifier default settings are designed to drive capacitive loads as high as 100pF without oscillation. The output buffer is able to source and sink 1mA. The device implements short-circuit protection for momentary output shorts to ground and VDD supply. The source and sink short-circuit current thresholds are set to 5mA.
