The DAC is primarily powered by the +5V power island, regulated by an off-board power supply and extensively decoupled in the area of the DAC. The DAC also requires -5V, and a high voltage as discussed in [[#Power Requirements]]. Both of these voltages are supplied by an off-board supply and decoupled near the DAC. In addition to these voltage levels, the DAC requires a precise +2.5V reference, created by the shunt-type voltage reference VR4.

It should be noted that the DAC is designed to be able to output up to 200V on any or all of its channels, and to source up to 700uA per channel regardless of the voltage being output. However, there is no reason why the high voltage line can't be set to a lower voltage if 200V is not needed.
