  • Page 9 Chapter 1 Overview The DAC1220EVM is an evaluation fixture designed for the DAC1220 20-bit delta-sigma (∆Σ) digital-to-analog data converter. The EVM is designed for prototyping and evaluation, and includes a reference circuit, an oscillator circuit, and an output buffer amplifier. Use of the output buffer amplifier is optional.
  • Page 10 The DAC1220EVM is designed using a simple card format developed by TI. This simple, consistent design makes the DAC1220EVM very easy to connect to your own prototype system. One can even think of the DAC1220EVM as an alternate package for the DAC1220—one much larger than the device itself, but also much easier to wire up by hand on a test bench.
  • Page 11 These jumpers allow the current of each supply to be measured independently. 1.4 Controls The DAC1220EVM is configured using two slide switches. (See Figure 3−7 for the location of these switches.) Switch S2 selects the system clock source for the DAC1220. You can select from the 2.4576MHz crystal or an external clock.
  • Page 12 Setting Up 1.5 Setting Up The way that one configures the DAC1220EVM depends on how it will be used. Consequently, there is no one single procedure to follow for setting up the DAC1220EVM. Nevertheless, it is useful to remember the following points when you are con-...
  • Page 13: Circuit Description

    Circuit Description This chapter describes the DAC1220EVM circuit design in detail. The DAC1220EVM is designed to conform to TI’s Modular EVM System. It contains only those parts of the circuit that will typically be used in an applica- tion immediately surrounding the DAC1220EVM. This includes:...
  • Page 14 For 20-bit resolution, larger ca- pacitors are used; these give a slower settling time but generate lower noise. The DAC1220EVM is shipped with the recommended capacitor values for 20-bit mode as given in the product data sheet. If 16-bit operation is desired, the capacitors can easily be removed and replaced because they are mounted to large (0805) surface-mount footprints.
  • Page 15: Clock Oscillator

    Clock Oscillator 2.2 Clock Oscillator The DAC1220EVM can be used with its on-board 2.4576MHz crystal or with an external clock source. A commonly-available crystal type in a through-hole HC49 package was used. Selector switch S2 is inserted between the crystal and the DAC. The double- pole switch disconnects the crystal from the device entirely, to better simulate actual application conditions when using an external clock.
  • Page 16 DAC1220 continuous-time reconstruction filter, and has a relatively weak output drive capability. For some loads, a buffer is needed. The buffer used on the DAC1220EVM is a unity-gain connected OPA335. This device, which is also used in the voltage reference circuit, offers extremely low voltage drift thanks to its auto-zeroing circuit.

  • Page 18 The positions and functions of the connectors and testpoints are shown in Figure 3−1. Figure 3−1. DAC1220EVM Connectors and Testpoints Many of the pins on the connectors are not used. On the pinout diagrams in this user’s guide, unused pins are not marked. In the pin description tables, unused pins are not listed, and ground pins are listed together, with the excep- tion of the power connector.

  • Page 21 DAC1220EVM uses a single ground plane. The mother- board may have separate ground domains on AGND and DGND. The DAC1220EVM takes its ground connection from AGND. You can connect DGND to AGND on the DAC1220EVM using jumper J5, as described in sec- tion 3.2.2. 3.1.4 Testpoints There is one testpoint on the board;...

Jumper Block J3 on the DAC1220EVM This jumper block can be used to measure the current drawn by the DAC1220 power supplies. For normal operation, when not measuring current, place shorting blocks across both jumper positions in the block.
  • Page 23 The DAC1220EVM uses a single-ended reference voltage; J1, pin 18 is not connected. The external reference is filtered on board with a 1µf MLC capacitor. It may be useful to apply a larger filtering capacitor at the voltage source.
