15.5 Cautions Related to D/A Converter

(1) Output impedance of D/A converter

Because the output impedance of the D/A converter is high, use of current flowing from the ANOn pins (n =

0,1) is prohibited. If the input impedance of the load for the converter is low, insert a buffer amplifier between

the load and the ANOn pins. In addition, wiring from the ANOn pins to the buffer amplifier or the load should

be as short as possible (because of high output impedance). If the wiring may be long, design the ground

pattern so as to be close to those lines or use some other expedient to achieve shorter wiring.

Figure 15-3. Use Example of Buffer Amplifier

(a) Inverting amplifier

(b) Voltage-follower

(2) Output voltage of D/A converter

Because the output voltage of the converter changes in steps, use the D/A converter output signals in general

by connecting a low-pass filter.

(3) AV

REF1

pin

When only either one of the D/A converter channels is used with AV

REF1

< V

DD

, the other pins that are not used

as analog outputs must be set as follows:

Set PM13x bit of the port mode register 13 (PM13) to 1 (input mode) and connect the pin to V

SS

.

Set PM13x bit of the port mode register 13 (PM13) to 0 (output mode) and the output latch to 0, to output

low level from the pin.
