Note:
  1. DAC internal bandgap reference voltage 2.4V ≤ REFSEL ≤ VDDANA.
  2. DAC reference voltages < 2.4V are not practical, and peripheral performance is not ensured.
  3. DAC functional device operation with either internal or external VREF < 2.4V is ensured but not characterized. DAC_ will function but with degraded performance. DAC accuracy is limited by user's application noise/accuracy on VDDANA, GNDANA and VREF accuracy/drift.
  4. Value taken over 7 harmonics.
  5. 12-bit mode
  6. Over VOUT range defined by the DAC_7 parameter
  7. These parameters are characterized but not tested in manufacturing.
