Each channel of the DAC can be controlled independently. The two settings that can be controlled are whether digital to analog conversion is enabled and whether analog output of each channel is enabled. Displayed here is a table showing the operation of the DAC with different register settings. The DAE bit is the D/A conversion enable bit and allows the channels to perform D/A conversions while disabling the analog outputs. There are also the DAOE0 and DAOE1 bits which are the output enable bits for each channel. These bits enable both D/A conversion and the analog output for each channel. If the output enable bits are set, then D/A conversion and analog output for that channel are both enabled, regardless of how the DAE bit is set. If the output enable bit is cleared to zero, the DAE enable bit can still be used to perform D/A conversions without any output until the result is needed.
