Working Principles

The DAC7642VFBRG4 utilizes a digital-to-analog conversion technique called pulse-width modulation (PWM). It accepts a digital input signal and converts it into an analog voltage output. The digital input is provided through the serial interface, and the internal circuitry of the DAC converts this digital information into a corresponding analog voltage.

The DAC uses a reference voltage (VREF) to determine the output voltage range. The digital input is converted into a binary code, which is then translated into an analog voltage proportional to the input code. This analog voltage is then available at the analog output pins (AOUTA and AOUTB).
