EVALUATION BOARD DESCRIPTION

The EVAL-AD5781 is a full-featured evaluation board, designed

to allow the user to easily evaluate all features of the AD5781

voltage output, 18-bit DAC. The AD5781 pins are accessible at

on-board connectors for external connection. The board can be

controlled by two means, via the on-board connector (J6) or via

the system development platform connector (J3). The SDP

board allows the evaluation board to be controlled through the

USB port of a Windows® XP (SP2 or later) or Vista (32-bit)

based PC using the AD5781 evaluation software.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The AD5781 is a high precision, 18-bit digital-to-analog con-

verter (DAC), designed to meet the requirements of precision

control applications. The output range of the AD5781 is confi-

gured by two reference voltage inputs. The device is specified to

operate with a dual power supply of up to 33 V.

Complete specifications for the AD5781 are available in the

AD5781 data sheet available from Analog Devices and should

be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the

evaluation board.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE

POWER SUPPLIES

The following external supplies must be provided:

•5 V between the VCC and DGND inputs for the digital

supply of the AD5781. Alternatively, place Link 1 in

Position A to power the digital circuitry from the USB

port (default).

•7.5 V to 16.5 V between the VDD and AGND inputs for the

positive analog supply of the AD5781.

•−2.5 V to −16.5 V between the VSS and AGND inputs for

the negative analog supply of the AD5781.

The analog and digital planes are connected at one location,

close to the AD5781. To avoid ground loop problems, it is

recommended not to connect AGND and DGND elsewhere

in the system.

Each supply is decoupled to the relevant ground plane with 10 μF

and 0.1 μF capacitors. Each device supply pin is again decoupled

with a 10 μF and 0.1 μF capacitor pair to the relevant ground plane.

LINK OPTIONS

The link options on the evaluation board should be set for the

required operating setup before using the board. The functions

of the link options are described in Tabl e 5.

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE

SOFTWARE OPERATION

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

To launch the software, complete the following steps:

The AD5781 evaluation kit includes self-installing software on a

CD. The software is compatible with Windows XP (SP2) and

Vista (32-bit). If the setup file does not run automatically, you

can run setup.exe from the CD.

1. From the Start menu, select Analog Devices – AD5781 >

AD5781 Evaluation Software. The main window of the

software is displayed (see Figure 3).

Install the evaluation software before connecting the evaluation

board and SDP board to the USB port of the PC to ensure that

the evaluation system is correctly recognized when connected to

the PC.

2. If the evaluation system is not connected to the USB port

when the software is launched, a connectivity error is

displayed (see Figure 2). Connect the evaluation board to

the USB port of the PC, wait a number of seconds, and

click Rescan. Follow the instructions.

1. After installation from the CD is complete, power up the

AD5781 evaluation board as described in the Power

Supplies section. Connect the SDP board (Connector A) to

the AD5781 evaluation board and then to the USB port of

your PC using the supplied cable.

2. When the evaluation system is detected, proceed

through any dialog boxes that appear. This completes

the installation.

MAIN WINDOW

The main window is divided into three tabs: Configure,

Program Voltage, and Measure DAC Output.

Configure

The Configure section allows access to the control register,

clearcode register, software control register, and DAC register

and also allows control of the RESET, CLR, and LDAC pins.

Program Voltage

The Program Voltage section programs the DAC register with

a value calculated from the entered values: the positive voltage

reference (VREFP), the negative voltage reference (VREFN),

and the desired output voltage (see Figure 4).

09092-004

Figure 4. Program Voltage Window

Measure DAC Output

The Measure DAC Output section allows the PC to control an

Agilent 3458A multimeter to measure and log the DAC output

voltage.

The multimeter is controlled over a general-purpose interface

bus (GPIB). Once connected to the PC, the multimeter should

first be configured via its front panel before taking a measure-

ment. Figure 6 shows the measurement options. The software

runs through a sequence of steps, programming the DAC

begins with the software programming the DAC with the Start

Code value, incrementing the programmed value at each step

by the Code Step value, and finishing when the programmed

value reaches the Stop Code value. A delay between measure-

ments can be inserted if required. The GPIB address of the

multimeter must be specified.

To begin the measurement, click the START button. The

measurement can be halted at anytime by clicking the STOP

button. When the measurement is completed, a dialog box

appears to allow the data to be saved as a spreadsheet file

with three columns of data. The first column is DAC code,

the second column is DAC voltage in volts, and the third

column is INL error in LSBs, as shown in Figure 5. A graph

of both DAC output voltage vs. DAC code and INL error vs.

DAC code is displayed on-screen (see Figure 6). In the

measurement example shown in Figure 6 measurements are

taken in 256 code steps beginning at Code 0 and finishing

at Code 261,888, in total 1023 measurements. With the number

of power line cycles (NPLC) setting on the multimeter set to 1,

the measurement takes ~75 sec to complete. To complete an all

codes measurement requiring 262,144 measurement points

takes ~6 hours to complete.

If an Agilent 3458A multimeter is not connected to the PC,

the software steps through the codes without taking any

measurements.
