IDAC - Current DAC#

Current Digital-to-Analog Converter (IDAC) Peripheral API.

IDAC can source or sink a configurable constant current, which can be output on, or sinked from pin or ADC. Current is configurable with several ranges of various step sizes. IDAC can be used with PRS and can operate down to EM3.

The following steps are necessary for basic operation:

Clock enable: 

/* IDAC is a HFPERCLK peripheral */
CMU_ClockEnable(cmuClock_HFPER, true);
CMU_ClockEnable(cmuClock_IDAC0, true);

Initialize peripheral with default settings and modify selected fields, such as output select: 

/* Initialize with default settings. Change output to ADC. */
IDAC_Init_TypeDef init = IDAC_INIT_DEFAULT;
init.outMode = idacOutputADC;
IDAC_Init(IDAC0, &init);

Set output: 

/* Set 50nA step and enable output */
IDAC_StepSet(IDAC0, 0);
IDAC_OutEnable(IDAC0, true);

Function Documentation#

IDAC_Init#

void IDAC_Init (IDAC_TypeDef * idac, const IDAC_Init_TypeDef * init)

Initialize IDAC.

Parameters
[in]idac

A pointer to the IDAC peripheral register block.

[in]init

A pointer to the IDAC initialization structure.

Initializes IDAC according to the initialization structure parameter and sets the default calibration value stored in the DEVINFO structure.

Note

  • This function will disable IDAC prior to configuration.


Definition at line 71 of file platform/emlib/src/em_idac.c

IDAC_Enable#

void IDAC_Enable (IDAC_TypeDef * idac, bool enable)

Enable/disable IDAC.

Parameters
[in]idac

A pointer to the IDAC peripheral register block.

[in]enable

True to enable IDAC, false to disable.


Definition at line 113 of file platform/emlib/src/em_idac.c

IDAC_Reset#

void IDAC_Reset (IDAC_TypeDef * idac)

Reset IDAC to the same state that it was in after a hardware reset.

Parameters
[in]idac

A pointer to the IDAC peripheral register block.
