查看“DAC internal peripheral”的源代码

==Article purpose==
The purpose of this article is to
* briefly introduce the DAC peripheral and its main features
* indicate the level of security supported by this hardware block
* explain how each instance can be allocated to the three runtime contexts and linked to the corresponding software components
* explain how to configure the DAC peripheral.

==Peripheral overview==
The '''DAC''' peripheral is a voltage output digital-to-analog converter.<br />

===Features===
Refer to [[STM32MP15 resources#Reference manuals|STM32MP15 reference manuals]] for the complete list of features, and to the software components, introduced below, to know which features are really implemented.<br>
* It may be configured in '''8- or 12-bit mode''' (data could be left- or right-aligned)
* It has '''two output channels''', each with its '''own converter'''
* The dual DAC channel mode could be done '''independently or simultaneously'''
* It has built-in noise and triangle '''waveform generator''' and supports '''triggers''' for conversions, using: TIM<ref name="TIM internal peripheral">[[TIM internal peripheral]]</ref>, LPTIM<ref name="LPTIM internal peripheral">[[LPTIM internal peripheral]]</ref> or EXTI<ref name="EXTI_internal_peripheral">[[EXTI internal peripheral]]</ref>
* The DAC output buffer allows a high drive output current
* It can operate under '''Normal mode''' or low-power '''Sample and Hold mode''' (uses LSI clock, from RCC<ref name="RCC internal peripheral">[[RCC internal peripheral]]</ref>).
* It may be used in conjunction with the '''DMA'''<ref name="DMA internal peripheral">[[DMA internal peripheral]]</ref> controller (with underrun error detection)
* The '''common reference voltage''', can be provided by either VREFBUF<ref name="VREFBUF internal peripheral">[[VREFBUF internal peripheral]]</ref> or any other external regulator<ref name="Regulator overview">[[Regulator overview]]</ref> wired to VREF+ pin.

===Security support===
The DAC is a '''non-secure''' peripheral.

==Peripheral usage and associated software==
===Boot time===
The DAC is not used at boot time.

===Runtime===
====Overview====
The DAC instances can be allocated to:
* the Arm<sup>&reg;</sup> Cortex<sup>&reg;</sup>-A7 non-secure core to be used under Linux<sup>&reg;</sup> with the [[IIO overview|IIO]] framework
or
* the Arm<sup>&reg;</sup> Cortex<sup>&reg;</sup>-M4 core to be used with STM32Cube Package with [[STM32CubeMP1 architecture|STM32Cube DAC driver]].

The [[#Peripheral assignment|Peripheral assignment]] chapter describes which peripheral instance can be assigned to which context.

====Peripheral configuration====
The configuration is applied by the firmware running in the context to which the peripheral is assigned. The configuration by itself can be performed via the [[STM32CubeMX]] tool for all internal peripherals. It can then be manually completed (especially for external peripherals) according to the information given in the corresponding software framework article.

For the Linux kernel configuration, please refer to [[DAC device tree configuration]] and [[DAC Linux driver]] articles.
