Configuring AD5422 Midscale Voltage output

Hi Team,

I am able to get 0-5V output range with AD5422 DAC, but I want to set the output range in the Midscale range (between 0.5-5V).

I tried to configure CLEAR SELECT and CLEAR bit in the AD5422 Control register but the lowest output value is always 0V instead of 0.5V .

Please suggest to me how to configure the same for 0.5V output?

Best Regards,

  • Hi Keshava, 

    The values issued for the clear function are fixed as shown in table 22 on the datasheet. For unipolar configuration, such as in your case, it can just either be 0V or midscale (2.5V). 

    What is your application here? Why do you need to have the clear voltage set to 0.5V? Is it not possible to just use a data write to the device to set it to 0.5V?

  • Hi Ian,

    Thanks for your reply.

    No, I don't want to set the clear voltage as 0.5V.

    Our requirement is: for digital input values in the range 0000 to FFFF we should get the DAC output in the range

    (1) 0.5V to 5V. 

    (2) 0.25V to 7V

    (3) 1.3V to 6.3V

    So I thought by configuring CLEAR and CLEAR_SEL I might get the DAC output in those ranges.

    Is there any way I can get these outputs? 

    Thank you,
