The 4-channel 12-bit R/2R DAC designed for generating analog control signals. The DAC has the ability to work with an external and internal full-scale reference voltage generator and the ability to disable each channel. The DAC consists of three main blocks: the reference voltage source, the DAC core and the control unit.
