GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This user guide describes the evaluation board for evaluating the

AD5247, a single channel, 128-position digital potentiometer.

The AD5247 supports a single-supply 2.7 V to 5.5 V operation,

making the device suited for battery-powered applications and

many other applications with a superior low temperature

coefficient performance.

In addition, the AD5247 uses a versatile I2C serial interface that

operates in fast mode, allowing speeds of up to 400 kHz.

The E VA L -AD5247DBZ and E VA L -MB-LV-SDZ can operate in

single-supply mode and incorporate an internal power supply

from the USB.

Complete specifications for the AD5247 part can be found in

the AD5247 data sheet, which is available from Analog Devices,

Inc., and should be consulted in conjunction with this user

guide when using the evaluation board.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE

POWER SUPPLIES

The EVA L -MB-LV-SDZ supports using single power supplies.

The evaluation board can be powered either from the SDP port

or externally by the J1 and J2 connectors as described in Table 1.

All supplies are decoupled to ground using 10 µF tantalum and

0.1 µF ceramic capacitors.

LINK OPTIONS

Several link and switch options are incorporated in the EVAL-

MB-LV-SDZ evaluation board and should be set up before

using the board. Table 2 describes the positions of the links to

control the evaluation board by a PC, via the SDP board. The

functions of these link options are described in detail in Table 3

through Table 6.

TEST CIRCUITS

The EVAL-AD5247DBZ and EVAL-MB-LV-SDZ incorporate

several test circuits to evaluate the AD5247 performance.

RDAC can be operated as a digital-to-analog converter (DAC),

as shown in Figure 2.

VAis the voltage applied to the A terminal (A9 link).

However, by using the R34 external resistor, the user can reduce

the voltage of the voltage references. In this case, use the A1 test

point to measure the voltage applied to the A terminal and

recalculate VAin Equation 1.

AC Signal Attenuation

RDAC can be used to attenuate an ac signal, which must be

provided externally using the AC_INPUT connector, as shown

in Figure 3.

Signal Amplifier

RDAC can be operated as a noninverting signal amplifier

supporting pseudo logarithmic gain. Table 6 shows the available

configurations.

The noninverting amplifier with pseudologarithmic gain is

shown in Table 6, and the gain is defined in Equation 4.

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE

INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

The E VA L -AD5247DBZ evaluation kit includes evaluation

board software provided on a CD. The software is compatible

with Windows® XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (both

32 bits and 64 bits).

Install the software before connecting the SDP board to the USB

port of the PC to ensure that the SDP board is recognized

when it is connected to the PC. To install the software, use

the following steps:

1. Start the Windows operating system and insert the CD.

2. The installation software opens automatically. If it does

not, run the setup.exe file from the CD.

3. After installation is completed, power up the evaluation

board as described in the Power Supplies section.

4. Connect the E VA L -AD5247DBZ and EVA L-MB-LV-SDZ

into the SDP board and the SDP board into the PC using

the USB cable included in the evaluation kit.

5. When the software detects the evaluation board, follow the

instructions that appear to finalize the installation.

RUNNING THE SOFTWARE

To run the program, use the following steps:

1. Click Start > All Programs > Analog Devices > AD5247

>AD5247 Eval Board. To uninstall the program, click

Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs >

AD5247 Eval Board.

2. If the SDP board is not connected to the USB port when

the software is launched, a connectivity error displays (see

Figure 5). Simply connect the evaluation board to the USB

port of the PC, wait a few seconds, click Rescan, and follow

the instructions.

The main window of the E VA L -AD5247DBZ evaluation

software then opens, as shown in Figure 6.

SOFTWARE OPERATION

The main window of the E VA L -AD5247DBZ software is divided

into the following sections: RDAC and MANUAL DATA.

RDAC

WRITE can be used to update the RDAC registers by entering a

desirable value into the text box and clicking WRITE. When

WRITE is clicked, a write/read operation is performed, and the

value displayed in this section is updated with the actual RDAC

write operation was completed successfully.

MANUAL WRITE

SEND DATA is a customized I2C data-word can be sent by

manually switching the scroll bars from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0

as desired and then clicking SEND DATA.

In addition, the scroll bars are updated on each write transfer,

showing the command sent to the part.

EXIT closes the program.
