Loading Requirements
Voltage Outputs
All voltage outputs (denoted VOUT_CH[0:3]_[0:10]) require
a load capacitance between 10 nF and 100 nF for stability.
Current Outputs
All current outputs require capacitive loading; the amount
of loading needed to ensure stability is dependent on the
impedance that the current outputs of the 6420 drive.
For impedances of 1.3 K
to 1.6 K, such as what is
seen at the E720 current inputs (ISK, ISRC, IBIAS, RADJ,
and FADJ), it is recommended that 1 nF be used.
Caution on Exceeding Compliance Limits on Current
Output DACs
Current output DACs (i.e., Group E and F DACs) can exhibit
a “l(fā)ock-up” condition in situations when the actual voltage
seen at the outputs of these DACs exceeds the compliance
limits in the specification. Care should be taken in the
design of circuits being driven by Group E and F outputs
to ensure compliance limits stated in the specifications
are not exceeded.
