APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Using Two DACs to Digitally Program the Full Scale
and Offset of a Third
Figure 2 shows how to use one LTC1458 to make a 12-bit
DAC with a digitally programmable full scale and offset.
DAC A and DAC B are used to control the offset and full
scale of DAC C. DAC A is connected in a 1 configuration
and controls the offset of DAC C by moving REFLO C above
ground. The minimum value to which this offset can be
programmed is 10mV. DAC B is connected in a
configuration and controls the full scale of DAC C by
driving REFHI C. Note that the voltage at REFHI C must be
less than or equal to V
