AMC87208: Can MUX multiple IDAC# pins?

Part Number: AMC87208


Hello,

At AMC87208, is it possible to OR multiple IDAC# pins to get larger output current?

Best regards,

  • Hi Hirano-san,

    You can connect multiple IDAC outputs together in parallel for increased current.  One general comment when doing that: we recommend that the channels are all set to the same value to help distribute power dissipation in the die.  For example, if you have 2 channels in parallel and want a combined current of 200mA, we recommend each channel contribute 100mA.  That way the load is evenly distributed.

    Thanks,

    Paul
