Re: [time-nuts] Question about AD9832 "I out Full Scale" (what does it mean?)

I would have thought (just guessing) that peak to peak output current would
be equal to Iout Full Scale, but it appears to be only half of that.

Can anyone clarify this?

Don't overlook a bug in the data sheet.

The data sheet for the actual part at
http://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/AD9832.pd
f
says
IOUT Full Scale 4 mA nom, 4.5 mA max
Output Compliance 1.35 V max 3V supply

I didn't find any reference to "peak" on that data sheet, so no peak-to-peak.
