The recommended power-up sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by AVCC, and then the digital supply (DVCC). This ensures that the internal voltage regulators are powered up correctly.
To optimize performance, use a low-noise power supply, decouple the power pins with high-quality capacitors, and ensure a stable clock signal. Additionally, use a high-impedance output load and minimize digital noise coupling into the analog circuitry.
The maximum clock frequency is 100 MHz, but it's recommended to use a clock frequency of 50 MHz or less to ensure optimal performance and minimize digital noise.
During power-down or reset, the DAC output is high-impedance, and the output current is limited to a few microamperes. To prevent damage, ensure that the output is not loaded with a low-impedance load during power-down or reset.
Keep analog and digital signals separate, use a star-ground configuration, and avoid running digital signals near the analog output pins. Use a solid ground plane and decouple the power pins with high-quality capacitors.
