# 4.Digital-Analog Converter

The usage of DAC

The purpose of the DAC is the opposite of that of the ADC. The DAC converts a digital signal into an analog signal for output.

Remember the music when NyBoard is turned on? It is using PWM to make music sound which uses high-speed switching to adjust the duty cycle to output voltage.

Compared with PWM, the DAC will directly output the voltage without calculating the duty cycle. ESP32 integrates a 2-channel 8-bit DAC with a value of 0-255. The voltage range is 0-3.3V. Therefore, the formula for calculating the output voltage of the DAC is as follows:

$$
DAC=（int）TargetV/3.3V∗255
$$

The demo is as follows:

```c
#define DAC1 25 

void setup() {  
}

void loop() {
  
  // 8bit DAC, 255 = 3.3V, 0 = 0.0V 
  for(int i = 0; i < 255; i++){
    dacWrite(DAC1, i);
    delay(10);
  }
}
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.petoi.com/biboard/demo-applications/4.digital-analog-converter.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
