I'm trying to get a basic DAC example working on the FRDM-K22F board using Processor Expert.
I've configured a DAC (Legacy High-Level component) using an underlying DAC (Logical Device Driver). The issue I'm having is that the DAC output seems to jump around/toggle but doesn't exactly reflect the value I'm trying to assign.
I have a loop incrementing a variable and assigning to the DAC, so I was expecting a sawtooth waveform:
for(;;){
DAC_Update(dacValue);
sprintf(dacString, "DAC: %d", dacValue);
WriteLine(dacString);
WAIT1_Waitms(1000);
dacValue += 10;
if(dacValue > 4000)
dacValue = 0;
}
However, what I actually see is a toggling signal between 0V and .16V before eventually jumping directly to 3.3V. So here's the dacValue vs the output voltage:
dacValue: 0 voltage: 0 V
dacValue: 10 voltage: 0.16 V
dacValue: 20 voltage: 0 V
dacValue: 30 voltage: 0.16 V
dacValue: 40 voltage: 0 V
dacValue: 50 voltage: 0.16 V
dacValue: 60 voltage: 0 V
dacValue: 70 voltage: 0.16 V
...
dacValue: 400 voltage: 3.3 V
Eventually, the dacValue drops again/jumps around in the range 0-3.3V.
Any idea what is causing this? Here is my DAC configuration from PE:
DAC0
12 bits
Left justified/unsigned
Init value: 0
D/A resolution: 12 bits
Low power mode: unchecked
Voltage reference source: external
