PRODUCTION DATA
A start-up condition is generated by a reset event; either a power-on-reset, a logic low on the RESET pin, a software reset command, or an I2C general-call reset. At start-up, all DACs are in VSS clamp mode (see Section 6.3.1.3), the PA_ON pin is set low, all switches are in the off state, and input data for all DACs is set to 0x0000.
After start-up, the device automatically initiates a EEPROM load sequence to configure the user memory registers, including the overwrite register value for the CLAMP DACs (CLAMPxOW[12:0]). Communication to the device is disabled until the EEPROM load sequence completes.
Upon completion of the EEPROM load sequence, the DACs exit VSS clamp mode. The output switches continue to be forced to the off state, thus setting the DAC0, OUT1, OUT2 and DAC3 output pins to the CLAMP voltages set by the CLAMP overwrite registers (CLAMP1: DAC0 and OUT1, CLAMP2: OUT2 and DAC3).
If the EEPROM has been configured for autonomous operation (see Section 6.4.1), the device confirms whether the VSS supply is configured for wide-range operation (VSSRANGE bit). If so, the device waits until the VSS supply has reached the valid operating range. After the valid supply ranges have been met, the device initiates two temperature sensor conversions. The second temperature measurement is input to the LUT, and the DAC[0:3] input data registers are loaded with the LUT- and ALU-generated data.
A programmable timer (TMRCNT[1:0]) is implemented to give enough time for the DAC output amplifiers to charge a capacitive load. During this time, the DAC output amplifiers are forced into start-up current mode, where source and sink capability is limited to 12mA. Start-up current mode controls the supply current being drawn by the device while charging capacitive loads. After the timer expires, the DAC output amplifiers exit start-up current mode, and assume the current-mode selected by the DACILMT bit. Then, the PA_ON pin is set high, and control of the switches is released to the user.
