IDAC
Quick Facts
What?
The IDAC can sink or source a configurable con-
stant current.
Why?
The IDAC can be used to bias external circuits or (in
conjunction with the ADC) measure capacitance by
injecting a controlled current into a component.
How?
In addition to providing a constant current, the IDAC
can be switched on and off with a PRS signal all the
way down to EM3.
27.1 Introduction
The current digital to analog converter (IDAC) can source or sink a configurable constant current from APORT and/or main pad (OUT-
PAD). The current is configurable with several ranges of various step sizes.
27.2 Features
• Can source and sink current
• Programmable constant output current
• Selectable current range between 0.05 µA and 64 µA
• Each range is linearly programmable in 32 steps
• Support for current calibration
• Support for manual and PRS triggered output enable
• Available in EM0-EM3
