The recommended power-up sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by AVCC, and then the digital supply (DVCC). This ensures that the analog and digital circuits are powered up in the correct order.
To ensure accurate voltage output, it is essential to use a stable reference voltage, minimize noise on the analog input pins, and use a low-noise power supply. Additionally, the output voltage should be buffered with an op-amp to prevent loading effects.
The maximum output current of the DAC8568 is 5mA per channel. Exceeding this current limit can cause damage to the device.
To synchronize multiple DAC8568 devices, use the SYNC pin to synchronize the conversion process. The SYNC pin can be connected to a common clock signal or a trigger signal to ensure that all devices convert simultaneously.
The LDAC (Load DAC) pin is used to update the DAC output voltage. When LDAC is low, the DAC output is updated with the new data. When LDAC is high, the DAC output is latched and holds its current value.
