SLDA-n DAC Synchronous Load Enable bit.
SLDA-n = '1': Synchronous Load enabled. When the synchronous load DAC signal occurs, DAC-n
Latch is loaded with the value of the corresponding DAC-n Data Register, and the output of DAC-
n is updated immediately. This load signal can be the rising edge of the external signal ELDAC or
the internal load signal ILDAC. Writing the data word 0xBB00 into the LOAD DAC Register
generates ILDAC. A write command to the DAC-n Data Register updates that register only, and
does not change the DAC-n output.
SLDA-n = '0': Asynchronous Load enabled. A write command to the DAC-n Data Register
immediately updates DAC-n Latch and the output of DAC-n. The synchronous load DAC signal
(ILDAC or ELDAC) does not affect DAC-n.
GDAC-n DAC-n Output Buffer Amplifier Gain bit.
GDAC-n = '1': The gain of the DAC-n output buffer amplifier is equal to 2.
GDAC-n = '0': The gain of the DAC-n output buffer amplifier is equal to 1.
The combination of the bit GDAC-n and the reference voltage (internal or external) sets the full-scale range of
each DAC-n.
Table 11 describes the full-scale DAC output range as a function of bits SREF, GREF and GDAC-n.

When an external reference is applied, the full-scale output range of DAC-n is equal to V_REF for GDAC = '0', and
equal to 2 x V_REF for GDAC-n = '1'.
To avoid saturation, the full-scale output range of DAC-n must not be greater than AV_DD. After power-on or reset,
all bits are cleared to '0'.

The data word 0xBB00 (shown above) written into the LOAD DAC Register generates ILDAC, the internal load
DAC signal. ILDAC and the external ELDAC signal work in a similar manner. ILDAC shifts data from the DAC-n
Data register to the DAC-n Latch and updates the output for all DAC-n with the corresponding SLDA-n bit set to
'1'. Other codes written to this register do not generate ILDAC and have no impact on any DAC-n. The LOAD
DAC Register is cleared after ILDAC is generated. The register is also cleared after power-on or reset.
