Building a “Window” DAC

When calibrating a set point or threshold of a sensor,

rarely does the sensor utilize the entire output range of

the DAC. If the LSb size is adequate to meet the appli-

cation’s accuracy needs, the resolution is sacrificed

without consequences. If greater accuracy is needed,

then the output range will need to be reduced to

increase the resolution around the desired threshold. If

the threshold is not near VREF, 2VREF or AVSS, then

creating a “window” around the threshold has several

advantages. One simple method to create this

“window” is to use a voltage divider network with a pull-

and

pull-down

resistor.

Example 6-2

and

Example 6-4 illustrates this concept.
