Analog output from MLC in lsm6dsv16x

[FKara.3]

Hello,

Can we generate analog output from MLC instead of a statement? If we can, could you explain how to do it? I plan to use MLC output as a part of my control algorithm. What is the most efficient way to achieve this?

Hi @FKara.3 ,

This is not possible because our I/O are only digital.

You could try something like this:

• MLC can generate an interrupt at each class change
• When receiving interrupts, you can read MLCx_SRC register to understand the current class
• But then, you need to use DAC from external micro to generate the analog signal on another pin

So the class can be the input for the DAC but you always need an external microcontroller.
