The USB provides the 5-V default VDD supply to the DAC81404. Voltage regulators generate 3.3-V and 1.8-V

from USB 5 V supply. These 3.3 V and 1.8 V supplies are used to power the FTDI controller, level shifter, and

IOVDD of DAC81404. IOVDD can be 3.3-V or 1.8-V depending on the jumper J5 setting. DVDD and IOVDD

device supply inputs for the DAC81404 can be externally supplied through banana jacks. The AVDD and AVSS

need external supply connections as well.

2.1 Power Requirements

The USB connection at J15 provides 5-V to the EVM. This connection is necessary if using the DAC814xxEVM

GUI, as the communication is done through the USB port and the FT4232 is powered by one of the LDOs on the

board. On board supply for IOVDD is available ( LDO generated 1.8-V or 3.3-V through J21). DVDD and IOVDD

power supply of DAC81404 can be provided externally through J7 and J10 respectively. AVDD and AVSS power

supply of DAC81404 need to connected externally through J8 and J9 respectively. AVSS can be connected to

GND through J22.

• AVDD : 0 to 41.5 V (default + 15 V)

• AVSS : 0 to -21.5 V (default - 15 V)

• DVDD : 4.5 V to 5.5 V (default + 5 V)

• IOVDD : 1.7 V to 5.5 V (default + 3.3 V)

• (AVDD - AVSS) must not be greater than 43 V

Table 3-1 summarizes the external power connections.

2.3 Setup

After the power and jumper configurations are set up per Figure 3-1 or Figure 3-2, and the DAC814xxEVM GUI

is fully installed, connect the USB cable from the DAC81404EVM USB port to the local machine.

Once all the connection is done, power up the DAC81404EVM hardware as described in the power requirement

section 3-1.

For basic DAC81404 device check, use one of the following sequences in the DAC814xxEVM GUI:

•From DAC81404 Register page

– Write 0x0A04 to the SPI_CONFIG (0x03) register to power up the device

– Write 0x0000 to the GEN_CONFIG (0x04) register to power up the internal reference

– Write 0x0000 to the DAC_PWDWN (0x09) register to power up the DAC outputs

– Write 0x7FFF to the DACA (0x10) register to configure the DAC_OUT to 2.5-V on DAC_OUTA (TP5)

•From DAC81404 High Level page

– Device Power Down: select Active mode to power up the device

– Reference Power-Down: select Activate internal ref to power up the internal reference

– DACA Channel Power-Down: select Activate channel to power up the DAC output

– DACA_DATA: write 0x7FFF to get 2.5-V on DAC_OUT (TP5)

The default voltage range for the DAC81404 is 0 V to 5 V. Configure the voltage range by modifying the "DACx

Voltage Range" control on DAC814xxEVM GUI High Level page, or by writing to the "DACx_RANGE" register in

the Low Level page as shown in section 2-2.

2.5 High-Current Optional Stage

This output stage is designed to output high current (100-mA) for applications such as motor control. The design

uses a class AB amplifier output with a diode-and-resistor-based constant current biasing.

3.1 GUI Installation

This section provides the procedure for EVM software installation.

The EVM software is compatible with the Windows® 10 operating system. Before installing the software, make

sure that the DAC80404EVM is not connected to the local machine.

Download the latest version of the EVM graphical user interface (GUI) installer from the Order and start

development subsection of the DAC81404EVM tool folder on TI.com. Run the GUI installer to install the

DAC81404EVM GUI software on your local machine.

When the DAC804xxEVM GUI is launched, an installation dialog window opens and prompts the user to

select an installation directory. If left unchanged, then Figure 3-1 shows that the software location defaults to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\DAC814xxEVM.

The EVM software also installs the Future Technology Devices International Limited (FTDI) USB drivers using

a separate executable file. Figure 3-2 shows the FTDI USB drivers installation window that is automatically

launched after the DAC814xxEVM software installation is complete.

Upon launching the software, a drop-down menu pops up. Select an appropriate device. For the scope of this

EVM, select DAC81404 option.

Figure 3-4 shows that if the onboard FTDI controller is connected correctly, then the status bar at the bottom of

the screen displays CONNECTED. If the controller is not properly connected or not connected at all, then the

status displays DEMO. If the graphical user interface (GUI) does not display the CONNECTED status while the

EVM is connected, then unplug and reconnect the EVM and relaunch the GUI software.

DAC81404 High Level page provides quick access to basic DAC81404 functionality as shown in Figure 3-5.

Figure 3-5. DAC81404EVM High Level Page

The DAC81404 Registers page allows the user to access low-level communication directly with the DAC81404

registers as shown in Figure 3-6. Selecting a register on the Register Map list shows a description of the values

in that register, as well as information on the register address, default value, size, and current value. Values are

read from and written to the registers by writing to the Value or bit field of the GUI.

The Register Map page also provides the FTDI GPIO controls for DAC81404EVM. For example, OPE_EN, TRIG

and FAULT pins, under the FTDI section.
