D/A 12 bit output data: D11..D0, D11=MSB, D0=LSB, X=don‘t care
The D/A converter will convert the 12 bit digital data to an analog output. The lower 8 bits
of D/A channel 1 are stored in the address BASE+4 and the high 4 bits are stored in the
address BASE+5. The address BASE+6 and BASE+7 store the 12 bit data for D/A channel
2. The D/A output latch registers are designed with a “double buffered” structure, so the
analog output latch registers will not update until the high 4 bit digital data are written. If the
user sends the high 4 bit data first, the D/A 12 bit output latch registers will update at once.
So the lower 8 bits will be the previous data latched in the register. This action will cause
an error on the D/A output voltage. The user must send the low 8 bits first and then
send the high 4 bits to update the 12 bit D/A output latch register.
NOTE : Send the low 8 bits first, then send the high 4 bits.
