The AD5421 pins are accessible at on-board connectors for external connection. The AD5421 evaluation board is controlled via the PC’s USB port in conjunction with Analog Device’s system demonstration platform board. The SDP board allows the evaluation board to be controlled through the USB port of a Windows® XP (SP2 or later) or Vista-based (32-bit) PC using the AD5421 evaluation software. The AD5421 serial interface is also accessible at the testpoint connections on the board. AD5421 data sheet DEVICE DESCRIPTION SOFTWARE NEEDED The AD5421 is an integrated device designed for use in looppowered 4 mA to 20 mA smart transmitter applications. The AD5421, in a single chip, provides a 16-bit DAC and current amplifier for digital control of the loop current, a voltage regulator to power the entire transmitter, a voltage reference, fault alert functions, flexible SPI-compatible serial interface, gain and offset adjust registers as well as other features and functions. EQUIPMENT NEEDED DC power supply unit SDP for PC control (EVAL-SDP-CB1Z) Voltmeter or ammeter AD5421 evaluation software Complete specifications for the AD5421 are available in the AD5421 data sheet available from Analog Devices and should be consulted in conjunction with this document when using the evaluation board.

The AD5421 evaluation board requires one power supply connection from LOOP− to LOOP+ (J7), a voltage in the range from 5.5 V to 52 V can be applied if the on-board MOSFET device (U2) is not enabled. With U2 enabled, the voltage limit is the breakdown voltage of U2, which in this case is 240 V. A load resistor can also be connected at J7. Table 1. Link Options LINK OPTIONS Set the link options on the evaluation board for the required operating setup before powering on the board. The functions of the link options are described in Table 2.

Link Options Link No. LK1 LK2 LK4 LK6 LK7 Alarm_Dir Rint_Rext Range0, Range1 Reg_Sel2, Reg_Sel1, Reg_Sel0 Description This link connects the VLOOP input pin to the LOOP+ voltage via a 20:1 resistor divider. When this link is inserted, the VLOOP pin is connected to the resistor divider. When this link is removed, the VLOOP pin is unconnected and can be connected to another voltage (maximum 2.5 V) via TP26. This link enables/disables the MOSFET device. Position A disables the MOSFET device. Position B enables the MOSFET device and the loop supply is connected directly to the REGIN pin. This link enables/disables the iCoupler® digital isolators. When this link is inserted, the isolators are enabled. When this link is removed, the isolators are disabled. This link should be inserted when the MOSFET device is enabled (LK2 in Position B). This link should be removed when the MOSFET device is disabled (LK2 in Position A). This link completes the loop connection if a load resistor is not connected at Connector J7. This link should be inserted if a load resistor is not connected at Connector J7. This link should be removed if a load resistor is connected at Connector J7. This link selects the alarm current direction. Position A selects an upscale alarm current (22.8 mA or 24 mA). Position B selects a downscale alarm current (3.2 mA). This link selects to use either the internal or external current setting resistor. Position A selects the internal resistor. Position B selects the external resistor. These links select the loop current range.

A | Page 4 of 12 Evaluation Board User Guide UG-250 EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE QUICK START PROCEDURES SOFTWARE INSTALLATION SOFTWARE OPERATION The AD5421 evaluation kit includes self-installing software on a CD. The software is compatible with Windows XP (SP2) and Vista (32-bit). If the setup file does not run automatically, you can run setup.exe from the CD. To launch the software, complete the following steps: Install the evaluation software before connecting the evaluation board and SDP board to the USB port of the PC to ensure that the evaluation system is correctly recognized when connected to the PC. 2. 2. 3. After installation from the CD is complete, power up the AD5421 evaluation board as described in the Power Supplies section. Connect the SDP board to the AD5421 evaluation board and then to the USB port of your PC using the supplied cable. Either connector of the SDP board may be used. When the evaluation system is detected, proceed through any dialog boxes that appear. This finishes the installation. From the Start menu, select Analog Devices – AD5421; then select AD5421 Evaluation Software. The main window of the software displays (see Figure 3). If the evaluation system is not connected to the USB port when the software is launched, or if the AD5421 board is not connected to the SDP board, a connectivity error displays (see Figure 2). Simply connect the evaluation board to the USB port of the PC, wait a number of seconds, click Rescan, and follow the instructions. 09701-002 1. 1. Figure 2. Connectivity Error Alert Rev. A | Page 5 of 12 Evaluation Board User Guide 09701-003 UG-250 Figure 3. Main Window MAIN WINDOW DAC Register As can be seen in Figure 3, the main window is made up of 5 tabs; Control Register, DAC Register, Fault Register, Program Loop Current, and Command Write. Outside of the tab structure at the top right of the window are two control items; LDAC PIN to set the state of the LDAC pin and USE PEC to select whether packet error checking is used in the communications with the AD5421. There is also an indicator item; PEC Error, this alerts to a packet error in the data received from the AD5421. At the bottom of the window is a display of the contents of the fault register, this is updated on every communication with the AD5421 if Auto Fault Readback is enabled. The DAC Register tab allows the user to program the DAC register, offset adjust register, and gain adjust register. Control Register Command Write The Control Register tab is displayed by default. This tab allows the user to program the control register. The Command Write tab allows the user to read/write all of the AD5421s registers as well as issue commands. Fault Register The Fault Register tab allows the user to read the contents of the fault register. The fault register can also be polled continuously. Program Loop Current The Program Loop Current tab allows the user to program a loop current value directly by entering the value in milliamps after having first selected the loop current range that is set by the Range0 and Range1 link options.
