Current DAC circuit

L6460 includes a multiple range 6-bit current sink DAC. The LSB value of this DAC can be

selected using the DacRange[1:0] bits in the CurrDacCtrl register.

The output of this circuit is connected to GPIO[8] that is a 5 V tolerant pin. The value of this

pin can be converted using ADC. The pin value can be scaled before being converted by

enabling the internal resistor divider connected to this pin. If the current sunk by resistor

divider is not acceptable the pin voltage can be converted without scaling its value. When

the conversion without scaling resistor is chosen a clamping connection is used to avoid

voltage compatibility of the pin to the ADC system. The clamping circuit will sink a typical

current of half microampere from the pin during the sampling time.

Current DAC block diagram

The circuit is enabled by setting to logic ‘1’ the EnDac bit in the CurrDacCtrl register then the

desired sunk current value is chosen by changing the value of the DacValue[5:0] bits in the

same register being DacValue[0] the least significant bit and DacValue[5] the most

significant bit.
