A Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) transforms digital signals into analog signals by mapping digital values to specific voltages. This process effectively creates continuous analog waveforms from discrete digital data. DACs play a vital role in electronic systems by enabling the generation of diverse waveforms.

Initialization sequence

Note

1. First start by calling the initialization function of the DAC spin.dac.initConsValue(DAC_NUM).
2. Second enter the integer value to send to the DAC spin.dac.setConstValue(DAC_NUM, DAC_CHAN, DAC_VALUE)

Example

spin.dac.initConstValue(2); // DAC 2 initialization
spin.dac.setConstValue(2, 1, 2048);

Conversion from numerical to analog value

The value we can send to the DAC is an integer between 0 and 4096, this value is then converted to voltage between 0 and 2.048V. For example :

spin.dac.setConstValue(2, 1, 2048);

Generate a 1.024V signal.
