Note:
  1. DAC functional device operation with either internal or external VREF < 2.4V is guaranteed, but not characterized. DAC will function, but with degraded performance. DAC accuracy is limited by users application noise or accuracy on AVDD, AGND, and VREF accuracy/drift.
  2. 10-bit mode.
  3. Over VOUT range defined by the DAC_7 parameter.
