DC1466B - Demo Manual

DEMO MANUAL DC1466B
LTC2636
Octal 12-Bit SPI VOUT DACs with
10ppm/°C Internal Reference
Description
Demonstration circuit 1466B features the LTC®2636 Octal
12-bit DAC. This device has an integrated, high accuracy,
low-drift reference. It has a rail-to-rail output buffer and is
guaranteed monotonic. This DAC communicates through
the simple SPI compatible interface.

DEMO MANUAL DC1466B
Quick Start Procedure
Connect DC1466B to a DC590 USB serial controller using
the supplied 14 conductor ribbon cable. Connect DC590
to a host PC with a standard USB A/B cable. Run the
QuikEval™ evaluation software supplied with DC590 or
download it from www.linear.com/software. The correct
control panel will be loaded automatically. The DAC is
updated as changes are made to the GUI screen. Entering
a voltage into a text box will cause the DAC's output to
update immediately. Values may be entered in voltage,
hexadecimal counts, or decimal counts by selecting the
appropriate radio button. The reference mode may also
be changed, and individual DACs can be powered down
by unchecking the "Enable" box.
Complete software documentation is available from the
Help menu item, as features may be added periodically.

Hardware Setup
Analog Connections
Digital Connections
DAC Outputs – The eight DAC outputs from the LTC2636
are brought out to turrets labeled VOUTA through VOUTH.
These may be connected to external instruments or other
circuitry.
LDAC – Load pin, active low, pulled to VCC by a 10k resistor.
Updates the DAC register from the Input register. Do not
assert this pin when using with the evaluation software.
This pin can be used to update all DACs simultaneously,
after individual input registers have been written to.
DAC outputs are not in alphabetical order on the circuit
board.
REF – The REF turret is connected directly to the reference
pin of the LTC2636. When the integrated reference is being used, the reference voltage may be monitored at this
point. An external reference may also be applied to this
turret after changing the setting in the evaluation software.
CLR – Clear pin, active low, pulled to VCC by a 10k resistor. Asserting this pin clears all DACs to their default
power-up value.
Grounding and Power Connections
Power (VCC) – Normally DC1466 is powered by the DC590
controller. VCC can be supplied to this turret, however
the power supply on DC590 must be disabled! Refer to
DC590 Quick Start Guide for more details on this mode
of operation.
Grounding – Ground turrets as well as 2 grounding strips
are provided.
