2.1.1 Hardware Theory of Operation

The DAC80508-04EVM is connected to the computer through the on-board FTDI digital controller using the USB cable that is supplied with the EVM. The evaluation board features connectors and test points for all communication lines, DAC outputs, and supplies. Figure 3-1 shows a block diagram of the DAC80508-04EVM.

The USB connection provides the 5-V supply to the EVM. Voltage regulators generate 3.3 V and 1.8 V from the USB 5-V supply. These 3.3-V and 1.8-V supplies are used to power the FTDI controller.

The VDD supply can use the on-board 5-V or 3.3-V supplies depending on the jumper J6 setting. By default, VDD is connected to the on-board 5-V supply. Alternatively, VDD can be supplied externally through banana jack J4. Remove the jumper connector on J6 before connecting external supplies to VDD.

The VIO supply can use the on-board 1.8 V or use the same voltage as VDD depending on the jumper J5 setting. By default, VIO is connected to VDD. Alternatively, VIO can be supplied externally through banana jack J8. Remove the jumper connector on J5 before connecting external supplies to VIO.

The device reference voltage can be supplied via an onboard 2.5-V voltage regulator by shorting jumper J12, or from an external supply with SMA connector J10. Make sure that the internal reference is powered off before connecting any other voltage supply to the REF pin.

Each of the DAC outputs have footprints available for capacitor and resistor loads that are unpopulated by default.
