DAC - Digital to Analog Converter#

Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) Peripheral API.

This module contains functions to control the DAC peripheral of Silicon Labs 32-bit MCUs and SoCs. The DAC converts digital values to analog signals at up to 500 ksps with 12-bit accuracy. The DAC is designed for low-energy consumption and can also provide very good performance.

DAC_PrescaleCalc#

uint8_t DAC_PrescaleCalc (uint32_t dacFreq, uint32_t hfperFreq)

Calculate prescaler value used to determine the DAC clock.

Parameters
[in]dacFreq

DAC frequency wanted. The frequency will automatically be adjusted to be below the maximum allowed DAC clock.

[in]hfperFreq

Frequency in Hz of the reference HFPER clock. Set to 0 to use the currently defined HFPER clock setting.

The DAC clock is given by: HFPERCLK / (prescale ^ 2). If the requested DAC frequency is low and the maximum prescaler value can't adjust the actual DAC frequency lower than the requested DAC frequency, the maximum prescaler value is returned resulting in a higher DAC frequency than requested.

Returns

  • Prescaler value to use for DAC to achieve a clock value <= dacFreq.
