DAC Output not zero on STM32F429I discovery (about 180mv). Can someone give an answer? and if I need to drive with the DAC an external circuit, How can I solve the issue?

Yes. Look closely in the datasheet.

Disable the internal buffer amplifier.

Use a proper external amplifier, taking the high output impedance of the DAC into account.

And is there any way (a voltage level traslator or regulator) to shift this level to zero so that the overall output is zero? This is to generate waves starting from zero.

[Hicss.2033]

and thank you for your fast answer.

Reading the datasheet will reveal ST specifies up to 200mV offset at the DAC output with buffer amplifier enabled.

Either accept that, or turn the internal buffer amplifier off, or use an external DAC.

I've turned the internal buffer amplier off, and I measure for 0 a value of about 2V (and not zero).

So it seems that disabling the buffer does not solve the trouble.....

What exactly is connected to the output amplifier?

Nothing else?

Which pin do you use?

Try the other DAC output.

Try other values into DAC.

I’m using DAC channel 1 on PA4.
For FFF is OK, but for 1000 (decimal) I’ve 2.2v.
Anyway moving to channel 2 on PA5 I’ve 0 (and in buffered mode I have an out put for zero of .05V, that is better than the previous one).
Thanks for your help!!
