EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS

It is important to operate this EVM within the input and output voltage ranges described in the

EVM user’s guide.

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.

Features

1-2

1.1 Features

This EVM features the DAC8574 digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The

DAC8574 EVM is a simple evaluation module designed for a quick and easy

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

quad-channel, and serial I2Cinput DAC. This EVM features a serial I2C

interface to communicate with any host microprocessor or TI DSP base

system.

1.2 Power Requirements

The following sections describe the power requirements of this EVM.

1.2.1 Supply Voltage

The dc power supply requirement for the digital section (VDD) of this EVM is

typically 5 V connected to the J5-1 or via J6-10 terminal (when plugged in with

another EVM board or interface card) and is referenced to ground through the

J5-2 and J6-5 terminal. The dc power supply requirements for the analog

section of this EVM are as follows; the VCC and VSS ranges from 15.75 V to

-15.75 V maximum and connects through J1-3 and J1-1 respectively, or

through J6-1 and J6-2 terminals. The 5 VA connects through J5-3 or J6-3

and the 3.3 VA connects through J6-8. All of the analog power supplies are

referenced to analog ground through J1-2 and J6-6 terminals.

The device under test, U1, analog power supply can be powered by either 5 VA

or 3.3 VA by selecting the proper position of jumper W1. This allows the

DAC8574 analog section to operate in either supply power while the I/O and

digital section is powered by 5 V, VDD.

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

output op-amp, U2, the reference chip, U3 and the reference buffer, U8. The

negative rail of the output op-amp, U2, can be selected between VSS and

AGND via 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 requirement desired.

Caution

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.
