How it works
A simple 8 bit R2R DAC. Driven externally or by an digitally generated sine waveform generator.
3.3v output is achieved with level shifting drivers.
How to test
Drive externally
Set the external data input high to provide the DAC with external data.
Then drive the 8 inputs and observe the analog output.
Drive with internal sawtooth wave generator
Set the external data input low to enable the sine generator.
A sine wave should be seen on the analog output. Everytime the sine counter is at 0, digital output 0 should go high for one clock.
To change the frequency, set the inputs and then raise the 'load divider' input.
External hardware
A multimeter to measure the output voltage on analog pin 0.
