Hello all, i'm developing an application that uses DAC of MSP430F169. 
In my routine (ASM)I have a TmrB ISR every 1000msec where I set a 
voltage level for 1msec from DAC and then turn off all and go back to 
sleep (LPM3)
My problem is that I can't turn off the DAC! I disable the ADC 
reference but the DAC is still consuming.
I try to clear ENC bit of DAC and then put DAC12AMP on 0 (so the DAC 
turns off and stays on HiZ) but the routine hangs up and never enter 
TmrB ISR again.

How is the wright way of turning off the DAC?, please help

Thanks in advance

Leonardo

Try setting the rest of the CTL bits to 0 after clearing ENC bits:

This worked for me on MSP430F156.

//shut down the DAC
void DisableDAC(void){
  DAC12_0CTL &= ~DAC12ENC;
  DAC12_0CTL = 0x00;
  DAC12_1CTL &= ~DAC12ENC;
  DAC12_1CTL = 0x00;
}
