How it works
It is a simple 4-bit R2R DAC, which is driven externally by an openlane generated sawtooth waveform generator.
How to test
Drive externally: Set the "external data" input high to provide the DAC with external data. Then drive the 4 inputs and observe the analog output.
Drive with internal sawtooth wave generator: Set the "external data" input low to enable the sawtooth generator. A sawtooth wave should be seen on the analog output. To change the frequency of the sawtooth wave, set the inputs and then raise the "load divider" input.
External hardware
A multimeter to measure the output voltage on analog pin 0.
