To drive significant loads with the DAC outputs, external buff- ering may be required, as illustrated in Figure 22.

the DAC outputs will remain at ground potential whenever the DAC is disabled. However, each DAC output will still spike briefly when you first apply power to the chip, and again when each DAC is first enabled in software. Typical scope shots of these spikes are given in Figure 23 and Figure 24 respectively.
