D is the decimal equivalent.
N is the number of bits.
Simple Write Example 1
<note tip>To Update Channel A, write the following over the serial interface:
0001 XXX1 1000000000000000 (four command bits, four address bits, 16 data bits for the AD5696R).
This updates Channel A to midscale. GAIN = 1, VOUTA = 1.25 V.</note>
Figure 5. Simple Write—Update Channel A
Simple Write: Example 2
<note tip>To update Channel B, write the following over the serial interface: 0001 XX1X 1000000000000000.
This updates Channel B to midscale. GAIN = 1, VOUTB = 1.25 V.</note>
Figure 6. Simple Write—Update Channel B
Simple Write: Example 3
<note tip>To update both Channel A and Channel B, write the following: 0001 XX11 1111111111111111. This updates both channels to full scale. GAIN = 1, VOUTB = 2.5 V, VOUTA = 2.5 V. </note>
