DAC7742: DAC send data all the time

Part Number: DAC7742

Hello

I want to use DAC 7742 to generate a arctan waveform with a MCU. It looks llike I need to chage the control signals every time when the data changes? Can I keep them unchanged when the chip is working? 

Thanks

  • Hi Yifu,

    The DAC output changes value when a new code is written to the output register using DB15-DB0. The data is loaded to the register on the rising edge of the CS control signal, so you'll at least need to control CS for a new value to be written:

    The logic truth table defines what needs to be done with the control signals. You can leave R/W, RST, RSTSEL, and LDAC at static values in the highlighted case:

    Best,
