RDAC Shortcut Commands
RDAC Resistor Tolerance
Eleven“shortcut” commands are provided for easy manipulation
of RDAC registers and their corresponding EEPROM memory
locations. These commands are shown in Table 9. A more detailed
discussion about the RDAC shortcut commands can be found
in the Theory of Operation section.
The end-to-end resistance tolerance for each RDAC channel is
stored in read-only memory during factory production. This
information is read by using the address and bits specified in
Table 8.
Tolerance values are stored in percentage form. Figure 26 shows
the format of the tolerance data stored in memory. Each stored
tolerance uses two memory locations. The first location stores
the integer portion, while the second location stores the decimal
portion.
The interface for issuing an RDAC shortcut command is shown
in Figure 25. All shortcut commands require acknowledge
polling to determine whether the command has finished
executing.
The resistance tolerance is stored in sign-magnitude format.
The MSB of the first memory location designates the sign
(0 = +, 1 = −) and the remaining 7 LSBs are designated for the
integer portion of the tolerance. All 8 bits of the second
memory location are represented the decimal portion of the
tolerance value.
