Overview
Das DAC 8 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die einen voll ausgestatteten, universellen Digital-Analog-Wandler mit Spannungsausgang enthält. Diese Platine verfügt über den DAC8554IPWR, einen 16-Bit-QUAD-Kanal-Digital-Analog-Wandler mit Spannungsausgang von Texas Instruments. Es bietet einen stromsparenden Betrieb, gute Linearität, außergewöhnlich geringe Störungen und unterstützt eine 3-adrige SPI-Seriellschnittstelle mit einer Taktrate von bis zu 50 MHz. Erfordert eine externe Referenzspannung, die von einem I2C-kompatiblen DAC60501MDGSR bereitgestellt wird, um den Ausgangsbereich jedes DAC-Kanals einzustellen. Es verfügt über viele Funktionen, die es für verschiedene Anwendungen attraktiv machen, wie z. B. batteriebetriebene Geräte, digitale Verstärkungs- und Offset-Anpassung, programmierbare Spannungs- und Stromquellen und vieles mehr.
Das DAC 8 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The DAC 8 Click Board™ Work?
The DAC 8 Click Board™ is based on the DAC8554IPWR, a 16-bit QUAD channel, ultra-low glitch, voltage-output digital to analog converter from Texas Instruments. It offers good linearity, exceptionally low glitch, and it has high precision output amplifier that allows rail-to-rail output swing over a wide range of supply voltage. What this component additionally has is a Power-On reset function, which ensures that DAC outputs power-up at zero-scale and remains there until a proper write operation occurs. Also, it provides a power-down feature that reduces the current consumption to 175nA per channel.
To achieve a fully flexible range of the DAC8554IPWR, an external voltage reference is made user-programmable. For this purpose, the Click board™ uses another DAC, DAC60501MDGSR, 12-bit DAC from Texas Instruments, whose output is brought to the VREF pin of the DAC8554IPWR. That way, the reference voltage of the DAC8554IPWR can be set at any value between 0V and 5V, provides high precision and low power consumption as well. That makes the DAC 8 Click fully customizable solution, well suited for applications where the maximum precision from the output 16-bit DAC is needed. DAC60501MDGSR uses the I2C serial interface to communicate with the MCU and operates at clock rate up to 100kHz.
The DAC 8 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the 3-Wire SPI serial interface that is compatible with standard SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™ and operates at clock rates up to 50 MHz. Additional functionality such as software simultaneous update capability is implemented and routed at the PWM pin of the mikroBUS™, which allows when new data enter the device, all of DAC outputs can be updated simultaneously and synchronously with the clock. It also possesses enable function routed at CS pin of the mikroBUS™ that is used to connect the SPI interface to the serial port.
The DAC 8 Click Board™ is designed to be operated with both 3.3V and 5V logic levels. The onboard SMD jumper labeled as VCC SEL allows voltage selection for interfacing with both 3.3V and 5V MCUs. More information about the DAC8554IPWR's functionality, electrical specifications, and typical performance can be found in the attached datasheet. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy-to-use functions, and a usage example that can be used as a reference for the development.
