AD9106 gain setting question?

How do you setting the DACX Digital Gain register(0x35) ?

Does the 7 bits maps to gain of +/-1 or +/-2 or others ?

Follow the calculation:

IOUTP1 = 32 X V_REFIO / xRSET=32x (1.04/8.06k) =4.129mA (Max 4mA)*249Ohm = 996mV ,the actual amount to voltage only 700mV.

  • Hi,

    The 12-bit DACx_DGAIN maps to +/-2. This applies to all four DAC channels.

    The voltage computation looks good. Are you able to confirm the actual voltage at the REFIO pin to be 1.04V? Also, make sure that you're sending full-scale code to the DAC to measure full-scale voltage, and disable the DACx_RSET_EN bits since you're using external resistors.
