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 sections of the device are powered up in the correct order.
To ensure that the DAC8801IDRBT is in a known state after power-up, assert the RESET pin low for at least 10 ns. This initializes the device and sets the output voltage to 0 V.
The maximum output current of the DAC8801IDRBT is 10 mA. Exceeding this current may cause the device to overheat or malfunction.
To minimize noise and distortion, use a low-pass filter on the output of the DAC, and ensure that the analog and digital grounds are separated and connected only at a single point. Additionally, use a high-quality, low-noise power supply and decouple the power pins with capacitors.
The recommended clock frequency for the DAC8801IDRBT is between 10 MHz and 40 MHz. Operating the device outside of this range may affect its performance and accuracy.
