16-/12-Bit, Quad Channel Voltage Output DAC
FEATURES
The AD568x(R) is used in this user guide to refer to the AD5686R,
AD5686, AD5684R, and AD5684.
Full-featured evaluation board for the AD5686R, AD5686,
AD5684R, and AD5684
On-board references
Various link options
PC control in conjunction with Analog Devices, Inc., System
Demonstration Platform (SDP)
The evaluation board is designed to help customers quickly
prototype new AD568x(R) circuits and reduce design time.
The AD568x(R) operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply.
The AD5686R and AD5684R incorporate an internal 2.5 V
reference to give an output voltage span of 2.5 V or 5 V. The
AD5686 and AD5684 require an external reference.
PACKAGE CONTENTS
Full data on the AD568x(R) can be found in the appropriate data
sheet available from Analog Devices and should be consulted in
conjunction with this user guide when using the evaluation board.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
POWER SUPPLIES
LINK OPTIONS
To use the evaluation board with the SDP board, a 6 V power
supply is required, which is connected to Connector J3. The
evaluation board can be used without the SDP board. In this case,
the J1 and J2 connectors are used as the power supply inputs.
A number of link options are incorporated in the evaluation
board and must be set for the required operating conditions
before using the board. The functions of these link options are
described in detail in Table 3. Table 2 lists the positions of the
different links controlled by PC, via the USB port, and the SDP
board in single-supply mode is required.
Both AGND and DGND inputs are provided on the board. The
AGND and DGND planes are connected at one location close
to the AD568x(R). It is recommended that AGND and DGND
not be connected elsewhere in the system to avoid ground loop
problems.
All supplies are decoupled to ground with 10 µF tantalum and
0.1 µF ceramic capacitors.

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
3.
The evaluation kit for the AD568x(R) includes self-installing
software on the CD. The software is compatible with Windows® XP,
Windows Vista (32-bit) and Windows 7 (32-bit). If users need drivers
for 64-bit operating systems, contact [email protected].
Click Start > All Programs > Analog Devices > AD56x(R).
Each of the AD5686R, AD5686, AD5684R, and AD5684 has
its own version of software. Click the appropriate one to run
the software. As the software connects to the evaluation
board, the message in Figure 2 displays.
10954-002
The software must be installed before connecting the SDP board to
the USB port of the PC to ensure that the SDP board is recognized
when it connects to the PC.
To install the software, take the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Start the Windows operating system and insert the CD.
The installation software should open automatically. If it does
not open automatically, run the setup.exe file from the CD.
After installation is completed, power up the evaluation
board as described in the Power Supplies section.
Connect the evaluation board to the SDP board and the SDP
board into the PC using the USB cable included in the box.
When the software detects the evaluation board, proceed
through any dialog boxes that appear to finalize the
installation.
Figure 2. Connection Message
If the SDP board is not connected to the USB port when
the software is launched, a connectivity error displays (see
Figure 3 ). Simply connect the evaluation board to the USB
port of the PC, wait a few seconds, click Rescan, and follow
the instructions.
RUNNING THE SOFTWARE
1.
2.
Connect the evaluation board to the SDP board and connected
the USB cable between the SDP board and the PC.
Power the SDP and evaluation board by connecting 6 V to
the J3 connector.

To run the program, do the following:
Figure 3. Connectivity Error
Alternatively, the software can be used without an evaluation
board. The software runs in simulation mode displaying
expected outputs based on the input data. The main
window of the AD568x(R) evaluation software then
opens, as shown in Figure 4.

GAIN Control
SOFTWARE OPERATION
The software for the AD568x(R) allows the user to program
values to the input and DAC registers of each DAC individually
or collectively.
The logic level of the GAIN pin is set externally by LK4 or LK5.
To display the correct voltage, the gain selection must be set to
match the level of the pin.
Write to Input Register
Reference Control
Select Write to Input Register to load the value in the input
data control to the input register of any DACs selected in the
Select DACs to Use box.
The AD5686R and AD5684R have an on-chip reference that
can be disabled to reduce power consumption. The AD5686R
and AD5684R software has a control that allows this function to
be used.
Write to DAC Register
Select Write to DAC Register to load the value in the input data
control to the DAC register of any DACs selected in the Select
DACs to Use box. The DAC outputs are automatically updated
with the appropriated voltage.
The AD5686 and AD5684 require an external reference. The
software for the AD5686 and AD5684 has a control that allows
the user to set the reference voltage.
Update DAC Register from Input Register
Each of the DACs can be powered down individually. Each of the
DACs has an associated selection box allowing the part to operate
in normal mode, powered down with either a 1 kΩ or a 100 kΩ
resistor to ground or tristate. When the power-down setting for
each DAC are selected, click Write to Part to write the appropriate
values to the AD568x(R).
Select Update DAC Register from Input Register to copy the
value in a DAC input register to the corresponding DAC register.
DAC outputs are automatically updated with the appropriated
voltage.
LDAC CONTROL
Select Pulse LDAC to bring the LDAC pin low and then back
high. Do this copies the data from the input registers to the DAC
registers, and the outputs update accordingly. Any DAC updates
disabled by the LDAC mask settings are ignored.
The LDAC pin can also be set high or low by clicking the
appropriate radio button.
Power-Down Control
LDAC Mask Register
Each of the DACs can be set to accept or ignore LDAC pulses.
When the LDAC selections are completed, click Write to Part
to write the appropriate values to the AD568x(R).
SPI COMMAND
On both control tabs of the software, the SPI commands sent to the
DAC display. This shows what must be written to the AD568x(R)
to replicate the function of the evaluation board.
