DAC8811 Evaluation Module
Description
The DAC8811 16-bit multiplying digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) is an accurate, low-power, easy-to-
use device with a precise, unbuffered, current output.
The DAC8811EVM showcases the DAC8811 and a
configurable operation amplifier (op amp) circuit. By
default, the EVM uses the OPA2828 in a bipolar ±10-
V output configuration, but supports the addition of a
DIP connection for other op amps.

1. Order the EVM.
2. Configure EVM jumpers.
3. Install DAC8811EVM GUI on ti.com.
4. Connect USB and external power supplies.
5. Launch DAC8811EVM GUI.
Features
• Configurable circuit to evaluate DAC with
operational amplifiers
• Onboard VDD and VREF support
• FT4222 used to easily write to DAC using
DAC8811EVM GUI
• External SPI connections available

1 Evaluation Module Overview
1.1 Introduction
This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and recommended use cases of the DAC8811EVM.
This document provides examples and instructions on how to use the DAC8811EVM board and included
software. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous
with the DAC8811EVM. This document also includes a schematic, reference printed circuit board (PCB) layouts,
and a complete bill of materials (BOM).
1.2 Kit Contents
Table 1-1 details the contents of the EVM kit. Contact the TI Product Information Center at (972) 644-5580 if any
component is missing. Download the latest versions of the related software on the TI website, www.ti.com.

Figure 1-1. DAC8811EVM Functional Block Diagram
With the default jumper settings, the USB sources a 3.3-V supply for VDD and a 2.5-V reference for VREF
through onboard low-dropout regulators (LDOs). The VDD and VREF supplies source power through J9 and
J10, respectively. To use external supplies, remove the shunts connecting the jumpers, use banana jack
connectors at J3 for GND, J4 for VDD, and use SMA connectors at J5 for VREF.
The OPA2828 is powered by external banana jack connectors at J1 and J2, for VCC and VSS respectively. The
first amplifier converts the current output of the DAC8811 to a voltage, then the second amplifier gains the output
to be a bipolar ±10-V output. The OPA2828 circuit can be configured to support other gain or shift values, and
also other operational amplifiers.

2 Hardware
2.1 Power Requirements
The USB connection at J12 provides 5 V of power to the EVM. This connection is necessary if using the
DAC8811EVM-GUI, as the FT4222 is powered by one of the LDOs on the board. Two LDOs translate the USB
power to 3.3-V and 2.5-V supplies used for VDD and VREF respectively. There are jumper options available
to disconnect the supplies if external supplies are desired to power or regulate the DAC8811. VCC and VSS
must be provided externally for proper operation of the OPA2828 or any other op amp used. As the default
configuration is for a ±10 V output, TI recommends to provide between 11 V and 18 V to VCC and between –11
V and –18 V to VSS. Table 2-1 summarizes the external power connections.
Table 2-1. DAC8811EVM Power Supply Inputs
Terminal Name Function
J1 VCC External +11 V to +18 V connection for OPA2828's VCC (required)
J2 VSS External –11 V to –18 V connection for OPA2828's VSS (required)
J3 GND Ground connection
J4 VDD Optional external VDD power supply (disconnect J9 when using external supply)
J5 VREF Optional external VREF power supply (disconnect J10 when using external supply)
2.2 Jumper Information
The jumper settings on the DAC8811EVM are crucial to the proper operation of the EVM. Table 2-2 provides the
details of the configurable jumper settings on the EVM. Figure 2-1 shows the default jumper connections on the
board.
Table 2-2. DAC8811EVM Jumper Summary
Header Name Function
J9 VDD = 3p3V Short 1-2 – VDD supplied through USB power (default)

Figure 2-2. DAC8811EVM Hardware Setup
The DAC8811EVM features a configurable op amp circuit that can be modified to change the output of the EVM.
Figure 2-3 shows the available resistors and capacitors in the circuit. Any components crossed out with a red "X"
are not included by default with the EVM.
Figure 2-3. DAC8811EVM Op Amp Configuration
To change the output voltage range for the circuit, the resistance at R3, R4, or R6 can be changed. This can
easily be done by swapping the entire resistor or adding another resistor in parallel to change the equivalent
resistance. The below equation can be used to calculate new resistor values if desired.

If an op amp other than the OPA2828 is used, then U2 can be removed from the EVM and another op amp
can be added. The new op amp must either be a HVSSOP or DIP-8 package type. Figure 2-4 shows the pin
configuration of the DIP-8 adapter included on the DAC8811EVM.
Figure 2-4. DAC8811EVM Op Amp DIP Adapter
2.4 Header Information
The EVM provides access to the digital DAC8811 pins through header J8. Table 2-3 lists the J8 pin definitions.

Pin Number Signal Description
1 SCLK DAC8811 SPI serial clock input
3 PICO DAC8811 SDI (serial data input)
5 CS DAC8811 chip select input
2, 4, 6 GND Ground
The pins on J8 can be used to externally control the DAC8811 with SPI messages if the FTDI controller is
disconnected from the DAC, by shunting the J11 jumper.

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) is not displaying the CONNECTED status while the
EVM is connected, then unplug and reconnect the EVM and relaunch the GUI software.
