Product Details
This user guide explains the operation of the EVAL-AD5529RARDZ evaluation board for the AD5529R, 16-channel, 16-bit, highvoltage output DAC (digital‐to‐analog converter).
The EVAL-AD5529R-ARDZ includes a full power system that generates all necessary power rails, which require only one external bench supply for operation. The power tree generates two sets of DAC output voltage rails, which allow half the DAC channels to operate under one configuration, and the other half under another. The voltages for each bank can be configured to preset values by jumper configuration. It is also possible to provide the voltage for the DAC outputs externally.
The EVAL-AD5529R-ARDZ includes an optional ultra-low noise, high-accuracy ADR4540 4.096V voltage reference, disabled by default, that can be enabled for use instead of the internal AD5529R on-chip reference.
The EVAL-AD5529R-ARDZ evaluation board is intended for use along with the SDP-K1 controller board. This arrangement facilitates quick evaluation through the ACE Software. Alternatively, a Pmod connector is available to interface with the AD5529R, which allows the creation of custom hardware and software solutions to control and evaluate the AD5529R.
Full specifications on the AD5529R are available in the AD5529R data sheet available from Analog Devices, Inc., and must be consulted with this user guide when using the EVAL-AD5529R-ARDZ evaluation board.
