Access R/WR/WR/WR/WR/W 
Reset 00000 

Bit 7 – RUNSTDBY Run in Standby Mode

If this bit is ‘1’, the DAC or the output buffer will not automatically be disabled when the device is entering Standby sleep mode.

Bit 6 – OUTEN Output Buffer Enable

Writing a ‘1’ to this bit enables the output buffer and sends the OUT signal to a pin.

Bits 5:4 – OUTRANGE[1:0] Output Buffer Range

This bit field controls the range of the output buffer. The output buffer range can be optimized for low values of the DACn.DATA register (LOW), high DATA values (HIGH), or toggle between those two settings (FULL). The toggling is triggered by the MSb of the DATA register. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for information about the drive capabilities of the DAC output buffer for the different bit field values.

Bit 0 – ENABLE DAC Enable

Writing a ‘1’ to this bit enables the DAC.
