Summary of Contents for Texas Instruments SC70 DAC EVM

  • Page 1: Table Of Contents

    This document describes the setup and operation of the SC70 DAC Evaluation Module (EVM). It also discusses the DAC eXerciser Program, a software tool used with the SC70 DAC EVM. Included are the EVM schematic, bill of materials, and board layout.
  • Page 2: Features

    The modular EVM form factor allows for direct evaluation of the DAC's performance and operating characteristics. This EVM is compatible with the 5-6K Interface Board (SLAU104) from Texas Instruments as well as the HPA-MCU Interface Board (SLAU106). As part of a SC70 DACEVM-PDK kit, this EVM is supported on the DXP Platform using the modular motherboard MMB0.
  • Page 3: Digital Interface

    J1.18 Power Supplies The SC70 DAC EVM board requires a single, +5-VDC power supply for proper operation. This 5-V supply powers the voltage reference (U2) and the external reference buffer (U3). When used in combination with one of the DAP interface boards, J3 provides connection to the common power bus described in document SLAA185.
  • Page 4: Stand-Alone Operation

    Moving the shunt on JP3 to cover pins 2-3 applies the analog output to J2 pin 10. Digital Control The digital control signals can be applied directly to J1 (top or bottom side). The SC70 DAC EVM can also be connected directly to a DSP or microcontroller capable of supplying the necessary serial control inputs.
  • Page 5: Hardware

    TI Web site. This section covers the specific operation of the SC70 DAC EVM-PDK. Hardware The hardware consists of two main components: the first is the SC70 DAC EVM itself and the other is a modular motherboard called the MMB0. The MMB0 board houses a TMS320VC5507 DSP which controls the serial interface to the device loaded on the EVM board.

    J14 on the MMB0 (referenced to the GND terminal). For convenience to the SC70 DAC EVM user, the +5VA required for the analog power to the EVM may be provided through the MMB0. This can be accomplished by placing a shunt jumper on J13B (+5 to +5VA), which connects the digital 5-V supply to the analog supply input.
  • Page 7: Loading A Sc70 Dac Evm Configuration

    Using the SC70 DAC EVM With DXP www.ti.com Figure 2. Loading a SC70 DAC EVM Configuration The DXP software defaults to output a 1-kHz sine wave from the DAC; other waveform options include Square, Saw tooth, Triangle, and DC output options as described in the DXP User's Guide. The frequency and amplitude of the output waveform is controlled by sliders on the DXP interface.
  • Page 8: Dac Output Update Options

    Using the SC70 DAC EVM With DXP www.ti.com Figure 3. SC70 DAC EVM – Frequency/Amplitude and Update Rate Adjustments DAC Output Update Options The DXP software also allows the user to choose several DAC output update options. These are shown in Figure Figure 4.
  • Page 9: Bill Of Materials And Evm Schematic

    The DXP software defaults to Frame Sync update mode. In this mode, the SYNC input of the DAC loaded on the EVM is controlled by the Frame Sync output of the MMB0. JP1 on the SC70 DAC EVM must be shorted pins 1-2 to use this option.
