GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This user guide describes the evaluation boards for evaluating the

AD5165, a single-channel, 256-position, ultralow power, 1.8 V

logic level digital potentiometer.

The AD5165 supports single-supply 2.7 V to 5.5 V operation,

making the device suitable for battery-powered applications and

many applications requiring superior low temperature coefficient

performance.

In addition, the AD5165 uses an SPI-compatible digital interface

to vary the wiper setting. The resistance between the wiper and

either end point of the fixed resistor varies linearly with respect to

the digital code transferred into the RDAC latch.

The E VA L -AD5165DBZ daughter board and the E VA L -MB-

LV-SDZ motherboard can operate in single-supply mode and

incorporate an internal power supply from the USB.

Complete specifications for the AD5165 can be found in the

AD5165 data sheet, which is available from www.analog.com

and should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide

when using the evaluation board.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE

POWER SUPPLIES

The EVAL-MB-LV-SDZ supports using single power supplies.

The evaluation board can be powered either from the SDP port

or externally by the J1 and J2 connectors, as described in Table 1.

All supplies are decoupled to ground using 10 µF tantalum and

0.1 µF ceramic capacitors.

LINK OPTIONS

Several link and switch options are incorporated on the EVAL-

MB-LV-SDZ and E VA L -AD5165DBZ boards and must be set

up before using the evaluation system. The functions of these

link options are described in detail in Table 2 through Table 5.

By default, the evaluation system is set up to be controlled by a

PC via the SDP board.

TEST CIRCUITS

The E VA L -AD5165DBZ and E VA L -MB-LV-SDZ incorporate

several test circuits to evaluate the performance of the AD5165.

signal amplifier and can support linear or pseudologarithmic

gain. Table 5 shows the available configurations.

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE

INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

The E VA L -AD5165DBZ kit includes evaluation board software

provided on a CD. The software is compatible with Windows® X P,

Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions).

Install the software before connecting the SDP board to the

USB port of the PC to ensure that the SDP board is recognized

when it is connected to the PC.

1. Start the Windows operating system and insert the CD.

2. The installation software opens automatically. If it does

not, run the setup.exe file from the CD.

3. After the installation is complete, power up the evaluation

board as described in the Power Supplies section.

4. Connect the E VA L -AD5165DBZ and E VA L -MB-LV-SDZ to

the SDP board and the SDP board to the PC.

5. When the software detects the evaluation board, follow the

instructions that appear to finalize the installation.

RUNNING THE SOFTWARE

To run the program, do the following:

1. Click Start > All Programs > Analog Devices > AD5165

> AD5165 Eval Board. (To uninstall the program, click

Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs >

AD5165 Eval Board.)

2. If the SDP board is not connected to the USB port when

the software is launched, a connectivity error displays (see

Figure 7). If a connectivity error is displayed, connect the

evaluation board to the USB port of the PC and wait a few

seconds, and then click Rescan and follow the instructions

that appear on-screen.

OPERATING THE SOFTWARE

The main window of the E VA L -AD5165DBZ software is

divided into two tabs: Visual Control and Manual Control.

Visual Control Tab

The Visual Control tab, as shown in Figure 8, contains a block

diagram that allows inputting data in hexadecimal format in the

Data to write box. Click Write to write the data to the device

window, allows changing the wiper setting.

Manual Control Tab

The Manual Control tab, as shown in Figure 9, allows customizing

an I2C data-word by manually switching each serial data-word

(D7 to D0) from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0, as desired, and then

clicking Wr ite.

The Data Written box shows the value that is written to the

evaluation board. It is set using the D0 to D7 sliders in the

Serial Data Word section.

Exiting the window closes the program.
