Overview



The DAC1220EVM is an evaluation fixture designed for the DAC1220 20-bit

delta-sigma (∆Σ) digital-to-analog data converter. The EVM is designed for

prototyping and evaluation, and includes a reference circuit, an oscillator circuit,

and an output buffer amplifier. Use of the output buffer amplifier is optional.

Chapter 1

Introduction

1-2

1.1 Introduction

Many data converter evaluation fixtures contain a computer interface or a

microcontroller, but the DAC1220EVM contains only the DAC1220 device and

a few supporting components. All DAC1220 pins are accessible through

various pins on the analog and digital connectors of the DAC1220EVM.

The DAC1220EVM is designed using a simple card format developed by TI.

This simple, consistent design makes the DAC1220EVM very easy to connect

to your own prototype system. One can even think of the DAC1220EVM as an

alternate package for the DAC1220—one much larger than the device itself,

but also much easier to wire up by hand on a test bench.

The DAC1220EVM can be plugged directly into suitable motherboards, such

as the HPA449 MSP430 microcontroller development system from Soft-

Baugh, Inc. (http://www.softbaugh.com). See also TI’s web site for example

code using the DAC1220EVM with the HPA449.

The DAC1220EVM, together with the HPA449 and the appropriate software,

also forms a complete evaluation system for verifying the DAC1220 perfor-

mance. See the Texas Instruments web site for additional information and soft-

ware.

1.2 Built-In Accessories

The DAC1220EVM includes a system clock generator and a low-noise voltage

reference. Using either of these components is optional; you can select an ex-

ternal system clock and/or an external reference, using the slide switches on

the EVM.

The +2.5V reference circuit is based on a REF1004-2.5 voltage reference. Its

noise performance is sufficient to allow the DAC1220 to perform at its lowest

noise level.

The on-board clock circuit uses a 2.4576MHz crystal. A switch selects be-

tween the crystal and an external clock signal applied to the TOUT pin of the

serial connector, J2.
