1-1 EVM Overview EVM Overview This chapter gives a general overview of the DAC7741 evaluation module (EVM), and describes some of the factors that must be considered in using this module. T opic Page 1.1 Features 1-2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Features 1-2 1.1 Features This EVM features the DAC7741 digital-to-analog converter . The DAC7741 EVM is a simple evaluation module designed for a quick and easy way to evaluate the functionality of the high resolution, single-channel, and parallel input DAC.
EVM Basic Functions 1-3 EVM Overview The REF102 precision reference derives its power of ± 15-V supply through J10 or J7 terminal. The (plus) 15 V connects through J10-1 or J7-2 terminals, while the (minus) -15 V connects through J10-3 or J7-4 terminals.
EVM Basic Functions 1-4 A block diagram of the EVM is shown below in the Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1. EVM Block Diagram DAC Out (J4) (J5) W13 Output Buffer Module W14 W4 W3 External Reference Module (J2) (.

3-1 EVM Operation EVM Operation This chapter covers in detail the operation of the EVM to provide guidance to the user in evaluating the onboard DAC and how to interface the EVM to a specific host processor . Refer to the DAC7741 data sheet, SBAS248, for information about its parallel interface and other related topics.
Factory Default Setting 3-2 3.1 Factory Default Setting The EVM board is set to its default configuration from factory as described on th e table below to operate in bipolar ± 10V mode of operation using the internal reference.
Host Processor Operation 3-3 EVM Operation 3.2 Host Processor Operation The host processor basically drives the DAC, so the DACs proper operation depends on the successful configuration between the host processor and the EVM board. In addition, a properly written code is also required to operate the DAC.
Host Processor Operation 3-4 3.2.2 Output Gain of T wo This configuration allows the DAC output with a gain of two, but is limited to the effective rails of the operational amplifier . When the DAC7741 is configured to operate in bipolar mode, the DAC output must be within the range o f 1 2 V P- P or less.
Jumper Setting 3-5 EVM Operation 3.3 Jumper Setting The figures in T able 3-5 will show the function of each jumper on the EVM. T able 3-5. Jumper Setting Function Reference Jumper Setting Function 13 R OFFSET is strapped to V REF to set V SJ (summing junction) to V REF /2.
