Digital-to-Analog Conversion
Conversion Results
Conversion Triggers
Conversion FIFO
Channel Selection
The DACC uses the master clock (MCK) divided by two to perform conversions. This clock is named DACC
Clock. Once a conversion starts the DACC takes 25 clock periods to provide the analog result on the
selected analog output.
When a conversion is completed, the resulting analog value is available at the selected DACC channel out-
put and the EOC bit in the
Reading the DACC_ISR register clears the EOC bit.
In free running mode, conversion starts as soon as at least one channel is enabled and data is written in
the
the corresponding analog output as stated above.
In external trigger mode, the conversion waits for a rising edge on the selected trigger to begin.
Warning: Disabling the external trigger mode automatically sets the DACC in free running mode.
A 4 half-word FIFO is used to handle the data to be converted.
As long as the TXRDY flag in the

converted immediately are stored in the DACC FIFO.
When the FIFO is full or the DACC is not ready to accept conversion requests, the TXRDY flag is inactive.

for writing into the FIFO.
In half-word transfer mode only the 16 LSB of DACC_CDR data are taken into account, DACC_CDR[15:0]
is stored into the FIFO.
DACC_CDR[11:0] field is used as data and the DACC_CDR[15:12] bits are used for channel selection if the
TAG field is set in DACC_MR register.
In word transfer mode each time the DACC_CDR register is written 2 data items are stored in the FIFO. The
first data item sampled for conversion is DACC_CDR[15:0] and the second DACC_CDR[31:16].
Fields DACC_CDR[15:12] and DACC_CDR[31:28] are used for channel selection if the TAG field is set in
DACC_MR register.
Warning: Writing in the DACC_CDR register while TXRDY flag is inactive will corrupt FIFO data.
There are two means by which to select the channel to perform data conversion.
• By default, to select the channel where to convert the data, is to use the USER_SEL field of
• A more flexible option to select the channel for the data to be converted to is to use the tag

DACC_CDR[13:12] which are otherwise unused, are employed to select the channel in the
same way as with the USER_SEL field. Finally, if the WORD field is set, the 2 bits,
DACC_CDR[13:12] are used for channel selection of the first data and the 2 bits,
DACC_CDR[29:28] for channel selection of the second data.
