Digital To Analog Converter (DAC)

Overview

ESP32-S2 has two 8-bit DAC (digital to analog converter) channels, connected to GPIO17 (Channel 1) and GPIO18 (Channel 2).

The DAC driver allows these channels to be set to arbitrary voltages.

The DAC channels can also be driven with DMA-style written sample data by the digital controller, however the driver does not supported this yet.

For other analog output options, see the Sigma-delta Modulation module and the LED Control module. Both these modules produce high frequency PDM/PWM output, which can be hardware low-pass filtered in order to generate a lower frequency analog output.

Application Example

Setting DAC channel 1 (GPIO17) voltage to approx 0.78 of VDD_A voltage (VDD * 200 / 255). For VDD_A 3.3V, this is 2.59V.

#include <driver/dac.h>

...

dac_output_enable(DAC_CHANNEL_1);
dac_output_voltage(DAC_CHANNEL_1, 200);

GPIO Lookup Macros

Some useful macros can be used to specified the GPIO number of a DAC channel, or vice versa. e.g.

  1. DAC_CHANNEL_1_GPIO_NUM is the GPIO number of channel 1 (GPIO17);

  2. DAC_GPIO18_CHANNEL is the channel number of GPIO 26 (channel 2).

uint32_t interval

The number of interval clock cycles for the DAC digital controller to output voltage. The unit is the divided clock. Range: 1 ~ 4095. Expression: dac_output_freq = controller_clk / interval. Refer to adc_digi_clk_t. Note: The sampling rate of each channel is also related to the conversion mode (See dac_digi_convert_mode_t) and pattern table settings.

adc_digi_clk_t dig_clk

DAC digital controller clock divider settings. Refer to adc_digi_clk_t. Note: The clocks of the DAC digital controller use the ADC digital controller clock divider.
