DAC38J84IAAVR datasheet by Texas Instruments

DAC38J84IAAVR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended power-up sequence for the DAC38J84?
  The recommended power-up sequence is to power up the analog supply (AVDD) first, followed by the digital supply (DVDD), and then the clock signal. This ensures proper initialization of the device.
• How do I optimize the performance of the DAC38J84 in terms of noise and distortion?
  To optimize performance, use a low-noise power supply, decouple the analog and digital supplies, use a high-quality clock source, and ensure proper PCB layout and grounding. Additionally, consider using a filter or attenuator to reduce noise and distortion.
• What is the maximum output current of the DAC38J84?
  The maximum output current of the DAC38J84 is 20 mA per channel. However, it's recommended to limit the output current to 10 mA per channel to ensure reliable operation and minimize thermal issues.
• Can I use the DAC38J84 with an external reference voltage?
  Yes, the DAC38J84 can be used with an external reference voltage. The device has a dedicated reference input pin (REFIN) that can be connected to an external reference voltage source. This allows for more flexibility in system design and improved accuracy.
• How do I implement data serialization and deserialization with the DAC38J84?
  The DAC38J84 uses a serial interface for data transfer. To implement data serialization and deserialization, use a serializer/deserializer IC or a microcontroller with a built-in serializer/deserializer. Ensure proper synchronization and clocking to maintain data integrity.
