 * @brief       DAC peripheral driver interface
 *
 * Similar to the ADC driver interface (@ref drivers_periph_adc), the DAC
 * interface uses the concept of lines, corresponds to a tuple of a DAC device
 * and a DAC output channel.
 *
 * The DAC interface expects data to be served as a 16-bit unsigned integer,
 * independent of the actual resolution of the hardware device. It is up to the
 * DAC driver, to scale the given value to the maximal width that can be
 * handled. The device driver should, on the other hand, implement the DAC in a
 * way, that it will use the bit width, that comes closest to 16-bit.
 *
 * This kind of 'auto-scaling' is quite sufficient for this interface, as
 * standard DAC peripherals use a fixed conversion resolution internally anyway,
 * so that any particular bit-width configuration on this driver level would not
 * have much effect...
