The recommended power-up sequence is to apply VDD first, followed by VREF, and then the digital inputs. This ensures that the internal circuitry is properly biased and that the DAC outputs are stable.
To ensure accurate voltage output, make sure to use a stable and low-noise voltage reference (VREF), and ensure that the output voltage is within the specified range of 0 to VREF. Also, use a low-pass filter to remove any high-frequency noise from the output.
The maximum output current of the DAC7311 is 5mA. Exceeding this current may cause the output voltage to droop or the device to overheat.
The digital inputs to the DAC7311 are CMOS-compatible and should be driven by a logic signal with a voltage swing of 0 to VDD. Ensure that the input signals are properly terminated and that there is no ringing or overshoot on the input lines.
The settling time of the DAC7311 is typically 10μs, but this can vary depending on the output voltage, load capacitance, and other factors. Ensure that the output voltage has settled to the desired value before taking a measurement or using the output in a system.
