DACs in a variety of configurations. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the BP-DAC81404EVM and BP-DAC61402EVM. This document includes a schematic, reference printed-circuit board (PCB) layouts, and a complete bill of materials.
Overview The BP-DAC81404EVM, BP-DAC61402EVM are an easy-to-use platform to evaluate the functionality and performance of the DAC81404 device. The 16-bit DAC81404 (quad-channel) and 12-bit DAC61402 (dual- channel) (DACx140x) are a pin-compatible family of buffered output (up to ±20 V) digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with integrated 2.5-V internal reference.
The following document provides information regarding Texas Instruments integrated circuits used in the assembly of the BP-DAC81404EVM and BP-DAC61402EVM. This user's guide is available from the TI web site under literature number SLAU825. Any letter appended to the literature number corresponds to the document revision that is current at the time of the writing of this document.
NOTE: The BP-DAC81404EVM and BP-DAC61402EVM have separate software. This document mainly describes the BP-DAC81404EVM software for brevity. This BP-DAC61402EVM software is similar to that of BP-DAC81404EVM except the changes in the number of DAC channels and the reduction of the register map.
LaunchPad using the online tool, UniFlash. This link is also provided on the Setup page of the GUI. After unzipping the install_image_BP-DAC81404EVM.zip file, the firmware bin file is found at <Download Directory>\BP-DAC81404EVM _1.0.1_installer_win\install_image_BP- DAC81404EVM\BP-DAC81404EVM\firmware\acctrl.bin. Use the following step-by-step procedure to upgrade the firmware and install the device drivers successfully: 1.
BP-DAC81404EVM through the LaunchPad. The BP-DAC81404EVM, BP-DAC61402EVM require external power supplies, as described later in this document. The 3.3-V and 5-V power supplies from the LaunchPad can be used for IOVDD and DVDD for the DAC, respectively, using jumper options.
System Setup www.ti.com 2.2.1 Power Configurations and Jumper Settings The BP-DAC81404EVM, BP-DAC61402EVM provide electrical connections to the device supply pins. The connectors and optional configurations are shown in Table 5, and Table 6 shows the EVM jumper settings. Table 5. BP-DAC81404EVM, BP-DAC61402EVM Power Supply Inputs...
Theory of Operation Figure 6 shows the block diagram of the BP-DAC81404EVM, DAC61402EVM board. All grounds are shorted together using single-point shorts. The EVM board connects to the LaunchPad with the BoosterPack connectors. There is an onboard reference, using the REF6025, which generates a 2.5-V voltage reference, which can be used as an external reference for the DAC.
Detailed Description www.ti.com 3.1.2 Signal Definition for the LaunchPad™ Interface The BP-DAC81404EVM, BP-DAC61402EVM interfaces with the LaunchPad through connectors J1 and Figure 7 shows the pin definitions. Pin aligns with BoosterPack pinout standard LD AC SDIN SCL K SYN C CL R Figure 7.
Options → Serial Port, and change the port to the other available port with the (Texas Instruments) or ACCtrl tag. One of the two ports with these tags will connect to the hardware.
3.2.2 Software Features The BP-DAC81404EVM, BP-DAC61402EVM GUI incorporate interactive functions that help configure the DAC81404 or DAC61402 device. These functions are built into several GUI pages, as the following sections show. The Menu button allows the user to switch between the pages, with each page representing a feature of the software.
