GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This user guide describes the evaluation board for evaluating the

AD5142A—a quad-channel, 256-position, nonvolatile memory,

digital potentiometer. With versatile programmability, the

AD5142A allows multiple modes of operation, including

read/write access in the RDAC and EEMEM registers,

increment/decrement of resistance, resistance changes in ±6 dB

scales, wiper setting readback, and extra EEMEM for storing

user-defined information, such as memory data for other

components or a lookup table.

The AD5142A supports a dual-supply ±2.25 V to ±2.75 V operation

and a single-supply 2.3 V to 5.5 V operation, making the device

suitable for battery-powered applications and many other appli-

cations. In addition, the AD5142A uses a versatile I2C-compatible

serial interface that operates in fast mode, allowing speeds of up to

400 kbps and supporting the selection of up to nine different I2C

addresses. The E VA L-AD5142DBZ can operate in single-supply

or dual-supply mode and incorporates an internal power supply

from the USB.

Complete specifications for the AD5142A part can be found in the

AD5142A data sheet, which is available from Analog Devices, Inc.,

and should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide

when using the evaluation board.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE

POWER SUPPLIES

The EVAL-MB-LV-SDZ motherboard supports using single and

dual power supplies.

The E VA L -AD5142ADBZ evaluation board can be powered either

from the SDP port or externally by the J1 and J2 connectors, as

described in Table 1.

All supplies are decoupled to ground using 10 µF tantalum and

0.1 µF ceramic capacitors.

Link Options

Several link and switch options are incorporated in the E VA L -

MB-LV-SDZ motherboard and should be set up before using

the board. Table 2 describes the positions of the links to control

the evaluation board via the SDP board using a PC. The

functions of these link options are described in detail in Table 4

through Table 7.

Linear Gain Setting Mode

The linear gain setting mode pin is controlled directly by

Jumper A1. If the jumper is placed in DEPEN, the AD5142A

powers up in potentiometer mode, and the linear gain setting

mode can be controlled by software. If the jumper is placed in

INDEP, the part powers up in linear gain setting mode, loading

independent values for each resistor string—RAW1, RWB1, RAW2,

and RWB2. The part cannot be placed in potentiometer mode

again unless the jumper is manually placed in DEPEN.

I2C Address Selection

The I2C address can be selected by using Link A1 and Link A2

as described in Table 3.

TEST CIRCUITS

The E VA L -AD5142ADBZ and E VA L -MB-LV-SDZ incorporate

several test circuits to evaluate the performance of the AD5142A.

DAC

The digiPOT can be operated as a digital-to-analog converter

(DAC), as shown in Figure 2. Table 5 describes the options

available for the voltage references.

The output voltage is defined in Equation 1.

where:

VAis the voltage applied to the A terminal (A9 link).

VBis the voltage applied to the B terminal (A10 link).

However, by using the R34 and R35 external resistors, the user

can reduce the voltage of the voltage references. In this case, use

the A1 and B1 test points to measure the voltage applied to the

A and B terminals and to recalculate VAand VBin Equation 1.

AC Signal Attenuation

The RDAC can be used to attenuate an ac signal, which must be

provided externally using the AC_INPUT connector, as shown

in Figure 3.

Depending on the voltage supply rails and the dc offset voltage

of the ac signal, various configurations can be used as described

in Table 6.

The signal attenuation is defined in Equation 2.

The RDAC can be operated as an inverting or noninverting

signal amplifier supporting linear or pseudologarithmic gains.

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE

INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

The E VA L -AD5142ADBZ kit includes a CD containing the

evaluation board software. The software is compatible with

Windows® XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (both 32 bits

and 64 bits).

Install the software before connecting the SDP board to the USB

port of the PC to ensure that the SDP board is recognized when

it is connected to the PC.

To install the software,

1. Start the Windows operating system and insert the CD into

the CD-ROM drive.

2. The installation software opens automatically. If it does not

open automatically, run the setup.exe file from the CD.

3. After the installation is complete, power up the evaluation

board as described in the Power Supplies section.

4. Connect the E VA L-AD5142ADBZ and EVA L -MB-LV-SDZ

to the SDP board, and then connect the SDP board to the

PC using the USB cable included with the SDP board.

5. When the software detects the evaluation board, follow the

instructions that appear to finalize the installation.

To run the program, do the following:

1. Click Start > All Programs > Analog Devices > AD5142A

> AD5142A Eval Board. To uninstall the program, click

Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs >

AD5142A Eval Board.

2. If the SDP board is not connected to the USB port when

the software is launched, a connectivity error displays (see

Figure 8). Simply connect the evaluation board to the USB

port of the PC, wait a few seconds, click Rescan, and follow

the instructions.

SOFTWARE OPERATION

The main window of the E VA L -AD5142ADBZ software has

two tabs, Visual Mode and Manual Control.

Visual Mode

The Visual Mode tab is divided into the following sections:

ALL CHANNELS COMMANDS, INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL

COMMANDS, and a block diagram that contains boxes for

changing the control register values and buttons and for controlling

the hardware pins.

The ALL CHANNELS COMMANDS section allows you to

send quick commands directly to the AD5142A.

The INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL COMMANDS section allows

you to send quick commands to only specific channels of

the AD5142A.

The block diagram allows you to update the control register

status. Each register value can be easily updated by changing the

value in its respective block within the diagram. In addition,

buttons are available that allow you to change the level of some

hardware pins.

Manual Mode

The Manual Mode tab, as shown in Figure 10, allows you to

customize an I2C data-word by manually switching the scroll

bars from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0, as desired, and then clicking

SEND DATA.
