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.

Get Started

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

DAC8811 Evaluation Module 1

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.

2.3 Setup

After the power and jumper configurations are set up per Table 2-1 and Table 2-2, and the DAC8811EVM GUI is

fully installed, connect the USB cable from the DAC8811EVM USB port to the local machine. Figure 2-2 displays

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.

DAC8811 Evaluation Module 5

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.

2.5 Test Points

The DAC8811EVM has a variety of test points available for measuring and debugging purposes. Table 2-4

explains the purpose of each test point.

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.
