Introduction

This example uses the DAC to generate a square wave on the DAC output.

The example does the below

• Repeatedly configures the minimum and maximum value in the DAC Shadow register after specified time intervals.
• This repeated programming of the registers generates a square wave.
• Sets the output voltage back to 0.

External Connections

• DAC output pin can be connected to an oscilloscope to view the square wave output.

AM263X-CC

Note: To use the reference voltage generated on ControlCard, make sure that the System VREF source select switch SW8 on ControlCard is set to position 1-2

When using AM263x-CC with TMDSHSECDOCK (HSEC180 controlCARD Baseboard Docking Station)

• Capture waveform on HSEC Pin 9

AM263X-LP

Supported Combinations

Parameter	Value
CPU + OS	r5fss0-0 nortos
Toolchain	ti-arm-clang
Board	am263x-cc, am263x-lp
Example folder	examples/drivers/dac/dac_square_wave/

Steps to Run the Example

• When using CCS projects to build, import the CCS project for the required combination and build it using the CCS project menu (see Using SDK with CCS Projects).
• When using makefiles to build, note the required combination and build using make command (see Using SDK with Makefiles)
• Establish connections as mentioned in External Connections section
• Launch a CCS debug session and run the executable, see CCS Launch, Load and Run
• Use an Oscilloscope to view the square wave on DAC output pin.
