ENABLING THE OUTPUT
To correctly write to and set up the part from a power-on
condition, use the following sequence:
1. Perform a hardware or software reset after initial power-on.
2. Configure the dc-to-dc converter supply block. Set the
dc-to-dc switching frequency, the maximum output voltage
allowed, and the dc-to-dc converter phase between channels.
3. Configure the DAC control register on a per-channel basis.
Select the output range, and enable the dc-to-dc converter
block (DC_DC bit). Other control bits can also be config-
ured. Set the INT_ENABLE bit, but do not set the OUTEN
(output enable) bit.
4. Write the required code to the DAC data register. This step
implements a full internal DAC calibration. For reduced
output glitch, allow at least 200 µs before performing Step 5.
5. Write to the DAC control register again to enable the
output (set the OUTEN bit).
Figure 73 provides a flowchart of this sequence.

Reprogramming the Output Range
When changing the range of an output, the same sequence
described in the Enabling the Output section should be used.
It is recommended that the range be set to 0 V (zero scale or
midscale) before the output is disabled. Because the dc-to-dc
switching frequency, maximum output voltage, and phase have
already been selected, there is no need to reprogram these values.
Figure 74 provides a flowchart of this sequence.
STEP 3: WRITE VALUE TO THE DAC DATA REGISTER.
STEP 1: WRITE TO CHANNEL’S DAC DATA
REGISTER. SET THE OUTPUT
TO 0V (ZERO OR MIDSCALE).
STEP 2: WRITE TO DAC CONTROL REGISTER.
SET THE NEW OUTPUT RANGE. KEEP THE
DC_DC BIT AND THE INT_ENABLE BIT SET.
STEP 4: WRITE TO DAC CONTROL REGISTER.
RELOAD SEQUENCE AS IN STEP 2.

DISABLE THE OUTPUT (OUTEN = 0) AND
SET THE OUTEN BIT TO ENABLE THE
OUTPUT.
