A/D and D/A
Conversions using only one DAC
For saving chip area, the "Offset DAC" is multiplexed
in various ways. Both "fine offset" and "digital mode"
signals are stored on a capacitor. An ADC-loop is
available by using a comparator and SAR.
D/A
Before changing to another capacitor, the DAC output
should be settled to the new value. For example,
MODSEL moves the analog multiplexer to the so-
called "open state 0." At the same time, the 10 bit mux
selects OF[9:0] for the offset-DAC. After the DAC
settling time, the analog multiplexer is moved to its
final state and the DAC-output is stored on a
capacitor.
A/D
The S/W-Signal MODSEL connects the SAR-output to
the DAC and the DAC-output to the comparator. The
SARegister is initialized by a rising edge of STC (S/W
signal). At the end of the A/D conversion, the
EOC flag is set to 1 and the controller can read the
ADC values.
