TAD5242: Can this device output a DC signal?

Part Number: TAD5242


Curious if yes, and how to achieve. We are using spare DAC channels to control DC voltages of internal DC/DC regulators. Thanks! 

  • Also, what are the internal operating mode differences between headphone out and line out modes on the TAD5242?

  • Hello Cameron,

    The TAD5242 is a hardware control device  and does not have any external pin to control or bypass the internal filter, however  the software version of this device has a bit that can bypass the filter and thus DC can be outputted.

    headphone out and line out  have different drivers which are optimized  for  specific drive capability for different loads 

    By the way, for the sake of E2E searchability, in the future please post your questions in separate posts so users can search the question in the title.

    Kind Regards,
