Analog Output Circuitry
The Lab-PC+ provides two channels of 12-bit D/A output. Each analog output channel can
provide unipolar or bipolar output. Figure 4-4 shows a block diagram of the analog output
circuitry.

Figure 4-4. Analog Output Circuitry Block Diagram
Each analog output channel contains a 12-bit DAC. The DAC in each analog output channel
generates a voltage proportional to the input V
ref
multiplied by the digital code loaded into the
DAC. Each DAC can be loaded with a 12-bit digital code by writing to the DAC0 (L and H) and
DAC1 (L and H) Registers on the Lab-PC+ board. The voltage output from the two DACs is
available at the Lab-PC+ I/O connector DAC0 OUT and DAC1 OUT pins.
The DAC voltages can be updated in any of three ways, depending on the setting of the LDAC
bit. If this bit is cleared, the DAC output voltage is updated as soon as the corresponding DAC
Data Register is written to. If the LDAC bit is set, the DAC output voltage does not change until
a falling edge is detected either from Counter A2 or from EXTUPDATE*.
