11.1 DAC  Converter 
11.1.1 Description 
The GE863-QUAD / PY module provides a Digital to Analog Converter. The signal (named 
DAC_OUT) is available on BGA Ball #63 of the GE863-QUAD / PY module and on pin 17 of 
PL104 on EVK2 Board (CS1151). 
 
The on board DAC is a 10 bit converter, able to generate a analogue value based a specific 
input in the range from 0 up to 1023. However, an external low-pass filter is necessary

Steps 
 
 
 
The precision is 10 bits so, if we consider that the maximum voltage is 2V, the integrated 
voltage could be calculated with the following formula: 
 
Integrated output voltage = 2 * value / 1023 
 
DAC_OUT line must be integrated (for example with a low band pass filter) in order to obtain 
an analog voltage.
