DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The AD5570 is a single 16-bit serial input, voltage output DAC
that operates from supply voltages of ±11.4 V up to ±16.5 V.
INL and DNL are accurate to 1 LSB (maximum).
Complete specifications for the AD5570 are provided in the
AD5570 data sheet, available from Analog Devices, and should
be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the
evaluation board.
EVALUATION BOARD DESCRIPTION
The E VA L-AD5570SDZ is a full-featured evaluation board that
is designed to allow the user to easily evaluate all features of the
AD5570 voltage output, 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
Components on the AD5570 evaluation board include SMB
connectors for interfacing to other equipment, a 5 V voltage
reference, and a ground force sense. Testpoints are provided on
all of the digital interface signal lines for ease of monitoring.
The user has the option of inserting both a resistive and
capacitive load on the output of the AD5570 at C1 and R1.
The board can be controlled by the system demonstration
platform (SDP) connector (J1). The SDP board allows the
evaluation board to be controlled through the USB port of a
Windows® XP (SP2 or later) or more recent 32-bit or 64-bit
(Vista, Windows 7) PC using the AD5570 evaluation software.
