Transfer Function

V_OUT = V_REF * Gain delim{[}{D/2^N}{]}
where:
D is the decimal equivalent.
N is the number of bits.

Simple Write: Example 1

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 AD5686R).
This updates Channel A to midscale. GAIN = 1, VOUTA = 1.25 V.

Simple Write: Example 2

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.

Simple Write: Example 3

To update both Channel A and Channel B, write the following over the serial interface: 0001 XX11 1111111111111111. This updates both channels to full scale. GAIN = 1, VOUTB = 2.5 V, VOUTA = 2.5 V.
