The following ranges and ratings apply to the EXTREF input:
Normal input voltage range ±10 V peak with respect to AO GND
Usable input voltage range ±18 V peak with respect to AO GND
Absolute maximum ratings ±30 V peak with respect to AO GND
AO GND is the ground reference point for both analog output channels
and for the external reference signal.
Figure 2-11 shows how to make analog output connections and the
external reference input connection to the AT-MIO-16X board.
Figure 2-11. Analog Output Connections
The external reference signal can be either a DC or an AC signal. This
reference signal is multiplied by the DAC code to generate the output
voltage.
