EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS

It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage ranges specified in the EVM user’s

guide. The DC power supply for the digital section should not exceed +5 V. The DC power

supply for the analog section should not exceed +15 V to –15V. If used, the external reference

voltage input should not exceed 10 V.

Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible

damage to the EVM. If there are questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI

field representative prior to connecting the input power.

Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or

possible permanent damage to the EVM. Please consult the EVM User’s Guide prior to

connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification,

please contact a TI field representative.

During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than

60°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 60°C as long

as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are not limited

to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These

types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User’s Guide.

When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation, please be aware

that these devices may be very warm to the touch.

Chapter 1

Features

1-2

1.1 Features

This EVM features the DAC7731 digital-to-analog converter. The

DAC7731EVM is a simple evaluation module designed for a quick and easy

way to evaluate the functionality and performance of the high resolution,

single-channel, and serial input DAC. This EVM features a serial interface to

communicate with any host microprocessor or TI DSP (with SPI capability)

base system.

1.2 Power Requirements

The following sections describe the power requirements of the EVM.

1.2.1 Supply Voltage

The dc power-supply requirement for the digital section of the EVM is typically

5 V connected to the J3-1 or via J6-10 terminal (when plugged in with another

EVM board or interface card) and is referenced to ground through the J3-2

and J6-5 terminal. The dc power-supply requirement for the analog section

(VCC and VSS) of this EVM range is from 15.75 V to -15.75 V maximum. The

analog section connects through J1-3 and J1-1 respectively, or through J6-1

and J6-2 terminals and are referenced to analog ground through J1-2 and

J6-6 terminals.

The VCC supply source is also used to provide the positive rail of the external

output op amp while the negative rail can be selected between VSS and AGND

via the W5 jumper. The external op amp is installed as an option to provide

output signal conditioning or boost capacitive load drive and for other output

mode requirements.

To avoid potential damage to the EVM board, make sure that the

correct cables are connected to their respective terminals as

labeled on the EVM board.

Stresses above the maximum listed voltage ratings may cause

permanent damage to the device.

1.2.2 Reference Voltage

Although the DAC7731 has a built-in 10-V reference, an external reference

circuit is provided in the EVM board. The external reference circuit can be

isolated if the internal reference voltage is selected.

The 10-V precision voltage reference is provided to supply the external voltage

reference for the DAC through REF102, U3, via jumper W4 by shorting

pins 1 and 2. An adjustable 100-kΩpotentiometer, R11, is installed in series

with 20 kΩ, R10, to allow the user to adjust the reference voltage to its desired

settings. TP1 and TP2 are also provided, as well as J4-20, to allow the user

to connect other external reference source if the onboard reference circuit is

not desired. The external voltage reference must not exceed 10 V dc.
