7.3.3 Nonvolatile Memory (NVM)
The DACx300x contain nonvolatile memory (NVM) bits. These memory bits are user programmable and
erasable, and retain the set values in the absence of a power supply. All the register bits, shown in the
highlighted gray cells in
, can be stored in the NVM by setting NVM-PROG = 1 in the COMMON-
TRIGGER register. The NVM-PROG is an autoresetting bit. The default values for all the registers in the
DACx300x are loaded from NVM as soon as a POR event is issued.
The DACx300x also implement NVM-RELOAD bit in the COMMON-TRIGGER register. Set this bit to 1 and
the device starts an NVM-reload operation. After completion, the device autoresets the NVM-RELOAD bit to
0. During the NVM write or reload operation, all read/write operations to the device are blocked.
provides the timing specification for the NVM write cycle. The processor must wait for the specified duration
before resuming any read or write operation on the SPI or I
2
C interface.
7.3.4 Power Consumption
The power consumption of the DACx300x in sleep mode and deep-sleep mode are provided in
. In
normal operation, the total power consumption of the device depends on the number of channels powered on
and the output mode of each channel (voltage or current). In current-output mode, the I
DD
also depends on the
output range. The I
DD
calculation excludes the load current. For example, in the ±250 μA output mode with a
DAC setting of +125 μA, the total current drawn through the VDD pin is the total I
DD
plus 125 μA. The total I
DD
in
normal operation can be calculated using

where:
• I
DD_SLEEP
is the current through V
DD
in sleep mode when all the channels and internal reference are powered
down.
• I
DD_REF
is the reference current, which is:
– either the current drawn by the reference input impedance when V
DD
is used as reference
– or the current drawn by the internal reference, if enabled
• I
DD_X
is the current through V
DD
for every powered-on channel-
X
.
Note
When an external reference is used, the current is calculated mainly as the current sourced from
the external reference, which is equal to the reference voltage divided by the input impedance of the
VREF pin.
