    SLAU279A – March 2009 – Revised November 2009 DAC9881 Evaluation Module This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and the use of the DAC9881 Evaluation Module (EVM). It covers all pertinent areas involved to properly use this EVM board along with the devices that it supports.

  • Page 2: Evm Overview

    50 MHz to communicate with any host microprocessor or DSP-based system. The DAC9881 is designed to work by default for unipolar output range, but it can also be configured for bipolar output range with the addition of an external amplifier and some resistors. The option for bipolar mode of operation is included in the EVM with some minor jumper configuration.

  • Page 3: Evm Basic Functions

    V H pin sets the positive range of the DAC9881 output. Also, applying the desired voltage between the range of -0.2 V to +0.2 V into the V L pin sets the negative range of the DAC9881 output, although the V L pin must nominally be set to zero volts.

  • Page 4: Pcb Design And Performance

    The PCB has a dimension of 43,18 mm (1.70 inch) × 82,55 mm (3.25 inch), and the board thickness is 1,57 mm (0.062 inch). Figure 2 through Figure 7 show the individual artwork layers.

    The DAC9881EVM schematic appears as the last page of this manual. Using the DAC9881EVM with DXP The DAC9881EVM is compatible with the DAC eXerciser Program (DXP) from Texas Instruments. DXP is a tool that can generate the necessary code required to output various signals and waveforms from the DAC9881EVM.

    J13 are completely removed. Permanent damage to the MMB0 may occur otherwise. From left to right, the screw terminal connections of J14 are –VA, +VA, +5VA, –5VA, +5VD, and GND. The DAC9881 board has power requirements as described in Section 1.2. The analog power for Vcc (+VA), Vss (-VA), and +5VA may be applied directly to the screw terminals at J14 on the MMB0 (referenced to the GND terminal).
