Figure 9-6. D/A Buffer Block Diagram
Figure 9-7 shows a sample circuit used for low output currents (less than 100 µA). Consider tem-
perature and power-supply drift when selecting components for the external D/A circuitry. With
proper components, a highly accurate 8-bit D/A converter can be made using the PWM.
