1 Overview

The DAC8771 is a single-channel (quad) 16-bit precision digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The output

can be configured to produce a current in output ranges of 0 to 20 mA, 0 to 24 mA, 3.5 to 23.5 mA, or ±24

mA. It can also be configured for voltage output in ranges of 0 to 5 V, 0 to 6 V, 0 to 10 V, 0 to 12 V, ±5 V,

±6 V, ±10 V, or ±12 V. The DAC8771 includes an integrated buck-boost converter to generate all

necessary power supplies from a single external supply. The buck-boost converter features various

operating modes that can be used to enhance power dissipation and thermal performance. The DAC8771

features additional peripherals including: HART input pins for coupling of FSK HART voltage signals, slew-

rate control for the analog output, and reliability features such as CRC, watchdog timer, and conditional

alarms.

2 EVM Hardware Overview

This section discusses the overall system setup for the EVM. A personal computer (PC) runs the software

that communicates with the SM-USB-DIG platform, which provides the power and digital signals used to

communicate with the EVM board. Connectors on the EVM board allow the user to connect the required

external power supplies for the configuration under test. The SM-USB-DIG must be connected to the

DAC8771EVM with the Texas Instruments logo facing up.

Figure 1. DAC8771EVM Hardware Setup

2.1 EVM Board Block Diagram

A block diagram of the EVM board setup is shown in Figure 2. This board provides test points for the SPI,

power, reference, ground, analog outputs, LDAC, CLR, ALARM, and RESET signals. The EVM allows the

user to select the internal buck-boost converter or external power supplies as sources for positive and

negative supply rails of each channel. The EVM also allows the user to select the internal reference,

onboard REF5050 reference, or external reference to provide the reference voltage to the DAC8771.

2.4 Powering the EVM

This section describes the various power configurations that can be used by the EVM.

2.4.1 PVDD/AVDD Supply

The PVDD, the buck-boost converter supply, and AVDD, the analog supply, of the DAC8771 are

connected to the same power net labeled PVDD/AVDD on the DAC8771EVM. Terminal block J3, shown

in Figure 3, allows for external voltage sources to be connected to the PVDD/AVDD supply. The

PVDD/AVDD supply must be provided regardless of whether the buck-boost converter is in use or not.

Figure 3. PVDD/AVDD, and DVDD Supply Connections

2.4.2 VPOS and VNEG Supplies

VPOS, the positive supply for the output signal chain, and VNEG, the negative supply for the output signal

chain, may be powered by the DAC8771 internal buck-boost converters or by off-board supply voltages.

WARNING

Permanent device damage may occur if externally supplying VPOS

or VNEG while the internal buck-boost supply is enabled.

When using the DAC8771 internal buck-boost converters to supply VPOS and VNEG, install JP1 and JP2

in the 1-2 position, or "inside" position, as indicated by Table 3.

When using external equipment to supply VPOS and VNEG, install JP1 and JP2 in the 2-3 position, or

"outside" position, as indicated by Table 3. In this configuration, the VPOS supply is connected to the

PVDD/AVDD net and the VNEG supply is connected to the EXT_VNEG. If bipolar supplies are used,

connect an appropriate negative supply voltage to AVSS through terminal block J4, as shown in Figure 3.

If unipolar supplies are used, connect AVSS to ground through terminal block J3.

2.4.3 DVDD Supply

DVDD, the digital supply voltage, of the DAC8771 can be supplied by the SM-USB-DIG VDUT supply (pin

6 of J1), an external supply voltage through J5 (illustrated in Figure 3), or by the DAC8771 internal DVDD

LDO. When using the SM-USB-DIG as the DVDD supply, uninstall jumper JP10 and install jumpers JP15

and JP15. To use an external supply voltage as the DVDD supply, install jumpers JP10 and JP15 and

uninstall JP16. To use the DAC8771 internal LDO as the DVDD supply, uninstall jumpers JP10, JP15, and

JP16.

In each DVDD supply configuration, take care to ensure that digital logic thresholds of the host and

DAC8771 match and that the absolute maximum ratings of the DAC8771 are not violated.

2.5 EVM Features

This section describes some of the hardware features present on the EVM board.

2.5.1 Communication Test Points

The EVM board features test points for monitoring the communication between the SM-USB-DIG and the

DAC8771. Header J2 provide test points for the LDAC, ALARM, CLR, RESET, SDIN, SCLK, SYNC, and

SDO pins of the DAC8771.

Figure 4. Digital Communication Test Points

The EVM design also allows external signals to be connected through these communication test points if

the EVM is integrated into a custom evaluation setup or application-specific prototype. Note that if the SM-

USB-DIG platform is not used, DVDD must be configured to use the DAC8771 internal DVDD LDO or

external supplies as described in Section 2.4.3.

SLAU727–August 2017

DAC8771 Evaluation Module

2.5.2 Reference Voltage

The DAC8771 reference voltage can be supplied by the internal voltage reference, by the onboard

REF5050, or by an external reference voltage.

Figure 5. Onboard Reference Supply Connections

To use the internal reference voltage, place JP11 in the 1-2 position. To use the REF5050 reference

voltage, place JP11 in the 2-3 position and connect a supply voltage for the REF5050 to J6, as shown in

Figure 5. To use an external reference voltage, remove JP11 and the reference can be connected to the

DAC8771EVM through the center post of JP11.

2.5.3 VOUT, VSENSEP, and VSENSEN

The VOUT pins can be accessed on terminal block J7, by the OUT test points. The VSENSEP and

VSENSEN sense connections may be provided onboard or externally closer to the point of load through

terminal block J7. To provide the VSENSEP connections onboard, install JP3. Similarly, to provide the

VSENSEN connections onboard, install JP8. Removing these jumpers requires that the sense connections

are made external to the EVM board. Figure 6 shows the arrangement of the output terminal blocks.

2.5.4 IOUT

The IOUT pin can be accessed on terminal block J7 or by the test point OUT.

2.5.5 Onboard Output Loads

Four load choices are installed on the EVM board to evaluate the voltage and current outputs as well as

the adaptive power management performance of the DAC8771. JP4 is available to provide a short-circuit

condition on the output. JP5 provides a 250-Ωload on the output. JP6 provides a 625-Ωon the output.

JP7 provides a 1-kΩload on the output.

2.5.6 Applying HART Signals

JP9 is available to couple external HART FSK communication signals onto the current outputs. When

injecting the HART signal, remove JP9 and apply the HART signal to JP9 pin 1. When a HART signal is

not being injected, install JP9 with AC coupling the HART pins to ground.

2.6 Connecting the SM-USB-DIG

To connect the EVM board and the SM-USB-DIG platform together, firmly slide the male and female ends

of the 10-pin connectors together with the Texas Instruments logo of the SM-USB-DIG facing up as shown

in Figure 7. Make sure that the two connectors are completely pushed together as loose connections may

cause intermittent operation.

2.7 Signal Definitions of J1 (10-Pin SM-USB-DIG Connector)

Table 4 shows the pin-out for the 10-pin connector used to communicate between the EVM and the SM-

USB-DIG. Note that the I2C communication lines (I2C_SCL and I2C_SDA1) are not used.

3 EVM Software Setup

This section discusses how to install the EVM software.

3.1 Operating Systems for EVM Software

The EVM software has been tested on the Microsoft®Windows®XP and Windows 7 operating systems

with United States and European regional settings. The software should also function on other Windows

operating systems.

3.2 EVM Software Installation

Download the EVM software by following the instructions provided external to this document. To install the

software, locate and extract the file named DAC8771.zip to a specific folder (for example, C:\DAC8771\)

on the hard drive.

Figure 8. DAC8771EVM Installer

After the files are extracted, navigate to the folder created on the hard drive. Locate and execute the

setup.exe file to start the installation. The DAC8771 software installer file then opens to begin the

installation process.

After the installation process initializes, the user is given a choice of selecting the installation directory,
