Thisallows “opportunistic” calibration – the Low Power Oscillator is calibrated whenever thereference frequency is enabled.3.8. AU X I L I A RY DACThe AX5043 contains an auxiliary DAC. It can be used to output various receiver signals,such as RSSI or Frequency Ofset, or just a value under program control. The DAC signal canbe output either on the PWRAMP or ANTSEL pad.The DAC may be operated in two modes. ΣΔ mode employs a digital modulator to output ahigh resolution signal. Its output voltage range is ¼ VDDIO to ¾ VDDIO for a DACVALUErange from −2048 to 2047.PWM mode outputs a pulse width modulated signal. It is only suitable for low frequencysignals. Its output voltage range is 0 to VDDIO for a DACVALUE range from −2048 to 2047.PWRAMPor ANTSELRCGNDDAC VoltageFigure 15: DAC RC FilterA low pass filter, such as a simple R-C filter as shown in Figure 15, must be used to obtainthe analog voltage.Version 1.9 Programming Manual AX5043
