DAC3174: Dual 7 bit interface

Part Number: DAC3174


Hello,

I would like to work with the DAC3174 in dual 7-bit wide interface mode.

How do I configure the DAC to work in this mode?

Is that depend of what I read in  FUSE_CNTL register?

Thank you,

David

  • Hi David,
    The FUSE_CNTL register is not related to the mode configuration except some power-up defaults.

    Datasheet section 7.5.1 has a recommended startup sequence for the device that your solution should go through on power-up.
    To set up dual 7-bit you will have to include your settings as part of the SIF register config.
    Some registers to you will need to set up :
    config0 0x00[14] dual_ena
    0x00[13:12] chipwidth
    config1 0x01[13] fullwordinterface_ena
    ...

    Your solution will probably require other settings as well so be sure to work down the config_x register tables to understand the device features.

  • Hi Brian,

    We read 80h in register FUSE_CNTL and not 00h as should be the default value (according to the datasheet).

    Is that value OK if we want to work in dual channel mode?

    Thank you,

    David

  • Hi David,

    The device that you will only work in 14 bitdataword mode.
