Overview
Der DAC 11 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die einen hochpräzisen Digital-Analog-Wandler enthält. Diese Platine verfügt über den DAC128S085, einen universellen OCTAL 12-Bit-Analog-Spannungsausgangs-DAC von Texas Instruments. Er verwendet beide Logikspannungspegel von der mikroBUS™-Buchse mit einer maximalen Leistungsaufnahme von 4,85 mW bei 5 V. Die integrierten Ausgangsverstärker ermöglichen eine Rail-to-Rail-Ausgangsschwingung und unterstützen die serielle SPI-Schnittstelle (kompatibel mit Standard-QSPI-, MICROWIRE- und DSP-Schnittstellen), die mit Taktraten von bis zu 40 MHz arbeitet. Dieses Click Board™ ist eine ausgezeichnete Wahl für Anwendungen zur digitalen Verstärkungs- und Offseteinstellung, programmierbare Spannungs- und Stromquellen, programmierbare Referenzen und vieles mehr.
Das DAC 11 Click Board™ wird durch eine mikroSDK-kompatible 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 11 Click Board™ Work?
The DAC 11 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the DAC128S085, a general-purpose 12-bit 8-channel digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) from Texas Instruments. The DAC128S085 is fabricated on a CMOS process with an architecture that consists of switches and resistor strings followed by an output buffer. It ensures monotonicity, low power consumption of 4.85mW at 5V, individual channel power-down capability, and has high precision output amplifier that allows rail-to-rail output swing over a wide supply voltage range.
DAC architecture consists of 4096 equal valued resistors with a switch at each junction of two resistors, plus a switch to ground. The code loaded into the DAC register determines which switch is closed, connecting the right node to the amplifier. Because all eight channels of the DAC128S085 can be controlled independently, each consists of a DAC register and a 12-bit DAC. Depending on the mode of operation, data written into a DAC register causes the 12-bit DAC output to be updated, or an additional command is required to update the DAC output. Also, a Power-On reset circuit ensures that the DAC outputs power up to zero volts and remains there until there is a valid write to the device.
The DAC 11 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the SPI serial interface compatible with standard QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP interfaces, with a maximum frequency of 50 MHz. Also, this Click board™ is designed to utilize the entire dynamic range of DAC128S085 by having all power supply pins (and reference voltage pins) connected together, sharing the same supply voltage. In addition, the user is given the option of further use of the RC filter at the output to roll off output noise.
The DAC 11 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the SPI communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
