Circuit Description (continued)
Offset
The typical offset for each current DAC is governed by the
following equations:
IOFFSET_E = – KGE * VREF
R_GAIN_E

Equation 6.
IOFFSET_F = 0
Group E DACs
There are 2 Group E DACs/channel. Group E DACs are
characterized by:
• Current outputs (current flows out of the chip)
• 13 bit resolution
• Fixed offset (–128 * LSB typical)
• Adjustable full scale range (but < 3.6 mA).
The output current equation for Group E DACs is:
IOUT_E =

R_GAIN_E
where:
55 kΩ ≤ R_GAIN_E ≤ 156 kΩ
Note: VREF = 2.5V
Group F DACs
There are 3 Group F DACs/channel. Group F DACs are
characterized by:
• Current outputs (current flows out of the chip)
• 6 bit resolution
• Fixed offset (0 typical)
• Adjustable full scale range (but < 3.6 mA).
The output current equation for Group F DACs is:
where:
IOUT_F =
