EVAL-CN0531-PMDZ is a minimalist 1 ppm, 20-Bit, ±1 LSB INL, DAC SPI Pmod board suitable for medical instrumentation, test and measurement equipment, industrial control or high end scientific and aerospace instrumentation. This module is designed as a low-cost alternative to the fully-featured AD5791 evaluation board. Multiple voltage references and power options are available to adapt this module depending on the application. With this module, the user is capable to use the onboard positive voltage reference or to connect external references. It is also possible to connect an external buffer if the onboard buffer doesn't suit the application. EVAL-CN0531-PMDZ can also be powered internal or external, depending on the needs. Also, additional control signals can be connected to the digital interface to control this module easily.
The AD5791 is a single 20-bit, unbuffered voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that operates from a bipolar supply of up to 33 V. The AD5791 accepts a positive reference input in the range 5 V to VDD − 2.5 V and a negative reference input in the range VSS + 2.5 V to 0 V. The AD5791 offers a relative accuracy specification of ±1 LSB max, and operation is guaranteed monotonic with a ±1 LSB differential nonlinearity (DNL) maximum specification.
The device uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface that operates at clock rates up to 35 MHz and that is compatible with standard serial peripheral interface (SPI), QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards. The device incorporates a power-on reset circuit that ensures the DAC output powers up to 0 V and in a known output impedance state and remains in this state until a valid write to the device takes place. The device provides an output clamp feature that places the output in a defined load state.
