2.8 D/A Conversion
The A-812PG provides two 12 bits D/A converters. Before using the D/A
conversion function, user should notice the following issue:
D/A output register, BASE+4/BASE+5/BASE+6/BASE+7,
JP3 select internal reference voltage 5V/ 10V
JP1/JP2 select internal/external reference voltage
If JP1/JP2 select internal and JP3 select 5V, the D/A output range from 0 to 5V
If JP1/JP2 select internal and JP3 select 10V, the D/A output range from 0 to 10V
If JP1/JP2 select external, the external reference voltage can be AC/DC +/- 10V
The block diagram is given as below:

NOTE : The DA output latch registers are designed as “double buffer” structure.
The
user must send the low byte data first, then send the high byte
data to store the DA 12 bits digital data
. If the user only sends the high byte
data, then the low byte data will be still the previous value. Also if the user sends high byte
first then send low byte, the low byte data of DA are still hold in the previous one.
