Overview
Das DAC 7 Click Board™ enthält den AD5624R, einen stromsparenden, vierkanaligen, gepufferten 12-Bit-Digital-Analog-Wandler. Der AD5624R wandelt den digitalen Wert mithilfe einer externen Spannungsreferenz in den entsprechenden Spannungspegel um. So können Sie digitale Informationen vom Mainboard in vier analoge Ausgänge auf dem DAC 7 Click Board™ umwandeln. Zu diesem Zweck verwendet das DAC 7 Click Board™ MCP1541, eine präzise Spannungsreferenz mit geringem Spannungsabfall und einer Ausgangsspannung von 4,096 V.
Mit all diesen Möglichkeiten an Bord ist das DAC 7 Click Board™ die perfekte Wahl für eine genaue und einfache Erzeugung von analogen Signalen für verschiedene Zwecke, wie z. B. programmierbare Stromversorgungen, Lasertreiber, Projektoren, IP-Netzwerkkameras, Autofokus-Objektive für digitale Standbildkameras und mehr.
How Does The DAC 7 Click Board™ Work?
The DAC 7 Click Board™ is an advanced 12-bit, four-channel digital to analogue converter (DAC). This device communicates with the main MCU through the is compatible with standard SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards. Also, there is a selectable voltage reference as well with onboard jumpers which makes this click more open for specific projects.
The main active component on the DAC 7 Click Board™ is the AD5624R from Analog Devices. This is a low power, four-channel, 12-bit voltage output Digital-To-Analog Converter (DAC). It is specified monotonic by design across a wide power supply range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Using an external reference, the AD5624R provides a full-scale output voltage in the range from 0V to Vref, while consuming 0.1 mA quiescent current per channel. The AD5624R also includes per channel, user-programmable, power down registers facilitate the DAC output buffers to start in a power down to 10K state and remain in this state until a power-up command is issued to these output buffers.
The DAC 7 Click Board™ has a high precision voltage reference included onboard. For that purpose, we have used 4.096V precision voltage reference MCP1541 from Microchip. This little SOT23 device is stable with capacitive loads. It has regulations for both sink and source and is very accurate. This gives DAC 7 click good flexibility for use in various applications.
Low quiescent current, wide power supply range, and per-channel power down option makes AD5624R ideal for low power, battery-operated system. The device communicates through the SPI interface. Besides the standard SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards are also supported. However, this click board™ is using standard SPI communication with the main MCU.
The reference voltage level can be selected via VREF SEL jumper, between 4.096V and 5V. This allows for both 4.096V and 5V Voltage outputs from DAC 7 click can be connected through a 9-terminal block where the first is common GND and the last eight are VOUTA to VOUTH.
The DAC 7 Click Board™ is designed to be operated only with a 5V logic level. A proper logic voltage level conversion should be performed before the Click board™ is used with MCUs with logic levels of 3.3V.

Software Support
We provide a library for the DAC 7 Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library covers all the necessary functions to control DAC 7 click board. The library performs a standard SPI interface communication.
Key Functions
DAC7_RETVAL_T dac7_set_ch_voltage ( uint8_t addr_ch, uint16_t vol_val, uint16_t v_ref_mv )- Set the voltage values of the specified channel function.DAC7_RETVAL_T dac7_set_power ( uint8_t pwr_en, uint8_t sel_ch )- Set power mode function.DAC7_RETVAL_T dac7_sw_reset ( void )- Software reset function.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes SPI, set CS pin as output and start to write log.
- Application Initialization - Initialization driver enables - SPI, executes call software reset and all channels power on, also write log.
- Application Task - (code snippet) This is an example that demonstrates the use of the DAC 7 Click Board™. In this example, we adjust the DAC output voltage from 1000 mV to 4000 mV for the channels, starting from channel A to channel D and set the DAC output voltage to 5000 mV for all channels. Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes. All data logs write on USB uart change every 5 sec.
