# 4.Digital-Analog Converter

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);
  }
}
```

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
