For larger loads, the current drive capability may not be sufficient.
To increase the source and sink current capability of the DACs,
an external buffer should be added, as shown in Figure 42.
The DAC output buffer also features a high impedance disable
function. In the chip’s default power-on state, both DACs are
disabled, and their outputs are in a high impedance state (or
three-state) where they remain inactive until enabled in
software. This means that if a zero output is desired during
power-up or power-down transient conditions, then a pull-
down resistor must be added to each DAC output. Assuming
this resistor is in place, the DAC outputs remain at ground
potential whenever the DAC is disabled.
