Events

Events generation and event actions are configurable in the DAC. The DAC has one event line input and one event output: Start Conversion and Data Buffer Empty.

If the Start Conversion input event is enabled in the module configuration, an incoming event will load data from the data buffer to the data register and start a new conversion. This method synchronizes conversions with external events (such as those from a timer module) and ensures regular and fixed conversion intervals.

If the Data Buffer Empty output event is enabled in the module configuration, events will be generated when the DAC data buffer register becomes empty and new data can be loaded to the buffer.

Note: The connection of events between modules requires the use of the SAM Event System Driver (EVENTS) to route output event of one module to the the input event of another. For more information on event routing, refer to the event driver documentation.
