13 DAC and ADC section
13.1 DAC Converter(TBD)
13.1.1 Description
The
UC864-G module
provides a Digital to Analog Converter. The signal (named DAC_OUT) is
available on pin 40 of the
UC864-G module
and on pin 17 of PL102 on EVK2 Board (CS1203).
The on board DAC is a 16-bit converter, able to generate a analogue value based a specific input in
the range from 0 up to 65535. However, an external low-pass filter is necessary

Steps
The precision is 16 bits so, if we consider that the maximum voltage is 2V, the integrated voltage could
be calculated with the following formula:
Integrated output voltage = 2 * value / 65535
DAC_OUT line must be integrated (for example with a low band pass filter) in order to obtain an
analog voltage.
13.1.2 Enabling DAC
An AT command is available to use the DAC function.
The command is
AT#DAC[=<enable>[,<value>]]
<value>
- scale factor of the integrated output voltage (0..65535 - 16 bit precision)
it must be present if
<enable>=1
Refer to SW User Guide or AT Commands Reference Guide for the full description of this function.
NOTE:
The DAC frequency is selected internally. D/A converter must not be used during
POWERSAVING.
