Overview
Das DAC 12 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die einen hochpräzisen Digital-Analog-Wandler enthält. Diese Platine verfügt über den DAC60508, einen universellen oktalen 12-Bit-Analog-Spannungsausgangs-DAC von Texas Instruments. Es umfasst eine interne Referenz von 2,5 V, 5 ppm/°C, wodurch in den meisten Anwendungen keine externe Präzisionsreferenz erforderlich ist, und unterstützt die serielle SPI-Schnittstelle, die mit Taktraten von bis zu 40 MHz arbeitet. Eine über die Benutzeroberfläche wählbare Verstärkungskonfiguration bietet Ausgangsspannungen in voller Höhe von 1,25 V, 2,5 V oder 5 V. 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 12 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 12 Click Board™ Work?
The DAC 12 Click Board™ is based on the DAC60508, a low-power voltage-output 8-channel 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from Texas Instruments. Each output channel in the DAC60508 consists of an R-2R ladder architecture, followed by an output buffer amplifier. It also includes a 2.5V, 5ppm/°C internal reference, eliminating the need for an external precision reference in most applications, and a user interface-selectable gain configuration that provides full-scale output voltages of 1.25V, 2.5V, or 5 V.
The DAC 12 Click Board™ communicates with MCU through a flexible serial interface compatible with SPI-type interfaces used on many microcontrollers and DSP controllers, with a maximum frequency of 50 MHz. The input data are written to the individual DAC data registers in straight binary format, where after a Power-On or a reset event, all DAC registers are set to a mid-scale code.
Data written to the DAC data registers are initially stored in the DAC buffer registers. Data transfer from the DAC buffer registers to the active DAC registers can be configured to happen immediately using the asynchronous mode or initiated by an LDAC trigger in synchronous mode. Once the DAC active registers are updated, the DAC outputs change to new values. When the host reads from a DAC data register, the value held in the DAC buffer register is returned (not the value stored in the DAC active register).
The DAC 12 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 communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Software Support
We provide a library for the DAC 12 Click Board™ as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
The package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio The package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on MikroE Github account.
Library Description
This library contains API for the DAC 12 Click Board™ driver.
Key functions
-
dac12_soft_resetThis function executes the software reset command. -
dac12_set_channel_valueThis function sets the raw DAC value to the specific channels output. -
dac12_set_channel_voltageThis function sets the output voltage of the specific channels.
Example Description
This example demonstrates the use of the DAC 12 Click board™ by changing the outputs voltage level every 2 seconds.
void application_task ( void )
{
float step = DAC12_INTERNAL_VREF / NUMBER_OF_STEPS;
float output_voltage = step;
for ( uint8_t cnt = 0; cnt < NUMBER_OF_STEPS; cnt++ )
{
if ( DAC12_OK == dac12_set_channel_voltage ( &dac12, DAC12_SELECT_CHANNEL_ALL, output_voltage ) )
{
log_printf( &logger, " All channels output voltage set to %.3f Vrn", output_voltage );
output_voltage += step;
Delay_ms( 2000 );
}
}
}
