DAC (digital to analog conversion)
----------------------------------
@@ -280,6 +302,32 @@ The DAC class provides a fast digital to analog conversion. Usage example::
The resolution of the DAC is 12 bit for SAMD51 and 10 bit for SAMD21. SAMD21 devices
have 1 DAC channel at GPIO PA02, SAMD51 devices have 2 DAC channels at GPIO PA02 and PA05.
