The output range of the AD5781 is configured by two reference voltage inputs. The device is specified to operate with a dual power supply of up to 33 V. EVALUATION BOARD DESCRIPTION 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. 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.

Connector J6 Pin Configuration • 9 10 • • 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. 7 8 5 6 3 4 1 2 Table 3.

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. To launch the software, complete the following steps: 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. 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. When the evaluation system is detected, proceed through any dialog boxes that appear. This completes the installation. 09092-002 2. From the Start menu, select Analog Devices – AD5781 > AD5781 Evaluation Software. The main window of the software is displayed (see Figure 3). Figure 2. Connectivity Error Alert 09092-003 1. 1. Figure 3. Main Window Rev. 0 | Page 5 of 16 UG-184 Evaluation Board User Guide 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. 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 09092-004 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). Figure 4. Program Voltage Window Measure DAC Output 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 measurement. Figure 6 shows the measurement options. The software runs through a sequence of steps, programming the DAC register and measuring the DAC output voltage. The sequence 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 measurements can be inserted if required. The GPIB address of the multimeter must be specified. 09092-006 The Measure DAC Output section allows the PC to control an Agilent 3458A multimeter to measure and log the DAC output voltage. Figure 5. Saved Data Format If an Agilent 3458A multimeter is not connected to the PC, the software steps through the codes without taking any measurements.
