See Table 9 for configuration on bits D23 to D16. The control registers are addressed by setting the DREG bits to DREG2 = 1, DREG1 =

1, DREG0=1 and then setting the CREG2, CREG1 and CREG0 bits to the appropriate decode address for that register as per Table 23

below. These CREG bits select between the various control registers.

OUTEN ALL

Enables the output on all 4 DAC simultaneously.

Do not use the OUTEN ALL bit when using the OUTEN bit in the DAC Control Registers.

DC_DCALL

When set, Powers up the DC-DC on all 4 channels Simultaneously.

To Power down the DC-DCs all channels outputs must first be disabled.

Do not use the DC_DCALL bit when using the DC_DC bit in the DAC Control Registers.

DAC CONTROL REGISTER

The DAC Control Register is used to configure each DAC Channel. The DAC Control Register is selected by setting bits CREG2, CREG1,

CREG0 to 0,1,0.
