DAC43608: Use /CLR to turn off output

Zeming Kong

Part Number: DAC43608

Hi there,

My customer needs to turn off the output of DAC43608, and he is considering setting /CLR low to do this.

I noticed that /CLR only clears the buffers and active registers, so I would like to confirm if /CLR can turn off the output even if DAC43608 is in sync mode(/LDAC=1).

Best,

Hi,

/CLR only clears the buffer and active registers, so DAC output will go to zero ( irrespective of LDAC)

If you want to turn off DAC43608 outputs, other option is to power down the outputs without affecting the registers.
