Building a “Window” DAC

When calibrating a set point or threshold of a sensor,

typically only a small portion of the DAC output range is

utilized. If the LSb size is adequate enough to meet the

application’s accuracy needs, the unused range 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 or VSS, 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-up and pull-down resistor. Example 6-2 and

Example 6-4 illustrate this concept.
