Description
When the DAC is in current output mode, a resistor from ARNG to GND sets the output range.
Analog Output Voltage or Current from DAC.
Reference output for the AD7877. The internal 2.5 V reference is available on this pin for use external to the
device. The reference output must be buffered before it is applied elsewhere in a system. A capacitor of 100nF
is strongly recommended between the VREF pin and GND to reduce system noise effects.
Alternatively, an external reference can be applied to this input. The voltage range for the external reference is
1.0 V to VCC. For the specified performance, it is 2.5 V on the AD7877.
