VDAC

Detailed Description

Digital to Analog Voltage Converter (VDAC) Peripheral API.

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

The following steps are necessary for basic operation:

Clock enable:

Initialize the VDAC with default settings and modify selected fields:

// Set prescaler to get 1 MHz VDAC clock frequency.
vdacInit.prescaler = VDAC_PrescaleCalc(1000000, true, 0);
VDAC_Init(VDAC0, &vdacInit);
vdacChInit.enable = true;
VDAC_InitChannel(VDAC0, &vdacChInit, 0);

Perform a conversion:

Note
The output stage of a VDAC channel consist of an onchip operational amplifier in the OPAMP module. This opamp is highly configurable and to exploit the VDAC functionality fully, you might need to configure the opamp using the OPAMP API. By using the OPAMP API you will also load opamp calibration values. The default (reset) settings of the opamp will be sufficient for many applications.

uint32_t VDAC_PrescaleCalc ( uint32_t  vdacFreq,
bool  syncMode,
uint32_t  hfperFreq 
)

Calculate prescaler value used to determine VDAC clock.

The VDAC clock is given by input clock divided by prescaler+1.

VDAC_CLK = IN_CLK / (prescale + 1)

Maximum VDAC clock is 1 MHz. Input clock is HFPERCLK when VDAC synchronous mode is selected, or an internal oscillator of 10 MHz +/- 20% when asynchronous mode is selected.

Note
If the requested VDAC frequency is low and the max prescaler value can not adjust the actual VDAC frequency lower than requested, the max prescaler value is returned, resulting in a higher VDAC frequency than requested.
Parameters
[in]vdacFreqVDAC frequency target. The frequency will automatically be adjusted to be below max allowed VDAC clock.
[in]syncModeSet to true if you intend to use VDAC in synchronous mode.
[in]hfperFreqFrequency in Hz of HFPERCLK oscillator. Set to 0 to use currently defined HFPERCLK clock setting. This parameter is only used when syncMode is set to true.
Returns
Prescaler value to use for VDAC in order to achieve a clock value less than or equal to vdacFreq.
