Supported Devices

Evaluation Boards

Reference Circuits

Overview

The AD5760 is a true 16-bit, unbuffered voltage out DAC that operates from a bipolar supply up to 33V. The AD5760 accepts a positive reference input in the range of 5V to VDD – 2.5V and a negative reference input in the range of VSS + 2.5v to 0V. The AD5760 offers relative accuracy of +/-0.5 LSB max and operation is guaranteed monotonic with a ±0.5 LSB DNL max range specification.

The AD5780 is a true 18-bit, unbuffered voltage out Dac that operates from a bipolar supply up to 33V. Both reference inputs are buffered on chip and external buffers are not required.The AD5780 accepts a positive reference input in the range of 5V to VDD – 2.5V and a negative reference input in the range of VSS + 2.5v to 0V. The AD5780 offers relative accuracy of +/-1 LSB max and operation is guaranteed monotonic with a ±1 LSB DNL max range specification.

The AD5781 is a single 18-bit, unbuffered voltage-output DAC that operates from a bipolar supply of up to 33 V. The AD5781 accepts a positive reference input in the range 5V to VDD – 2.5 V and a negative reference input in the range VSS + 2.5 V to 0 V. The AD5781 offers a relative accuracy specification of ±0.5 LSB max, and operation is guaranteed monotonic with a ±0.5 LSB DNL max specification.

The AD5790 is a single 20-bit, voltage out Dac that operates from a bipolar supply up to 33V. Reference buffers are also provided on-chip The AD5790 accepts a positive reference input in the range of 5V to VDD – 2.5V and a negative reference input in the range of VSS + 2.5v to 0V. The AD5790 offers a relative accuracy of +/-2 LSB's max and operation is guaranteed monotonic with a -1 LSB to +3 LSB's DNL specification.

The AD5791 is a single 20-bit, unbuffered voltage-output 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 – 2.5V 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 DNL max specification.

These parts use a versatile 3-wire serial interface that operates at clock rates of up to 35 MHz and that is compatible with standard SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards. The parts incorporate a power-on reset circuit that ensures the DAC output powers up to 0V in a known output impedance state and remains in this state until a valid write to the device takes place. The parts provide an output clamp feature that places the output in a defined load state.

The goal of this project (Microcontroller No-OS) is to be able to provide reference projects for lower end processors, which can't run Linux, or aren't running a specific operating system, to help those customers using microcontrollers with ADI parts. Here you can find a generic driver which can be used as a base for any microcontroller platform and also specific drivers for Renesas platforms.

HW Platform(s):

Driver Description

The driver contains two parts:

  • The driver for the AD5780 part, which may be used, without modifications, with any microcontroller.
  • The Communication Driver, where the specific communication functions for the desired type of processor and communication protocol have to be implemented. This driver implements the communication with the device and hides the actual details of the communication protocol to the ADI driver.

The Communication Driver has a standard interface, so the AD5780 driver can be used exactly as it is provided.

There are three functions which are called by the AD5780 driver:

  • SPI_Init() – initializes the communication peripheral.
  • SPI_Write() – writes data to the device.
  • SPI_Read() – reads data from the device.

SPI driver architecture

The following functions are implemented in this version of AD5780 driver:

Function Description
unsigned char AD57XX_Init(char deviceVersion) Initializes the communication with the device.
void AD57XX_SetRegisterValue(unsigned char registerAddress, unsigned long registerValue) Writes data into a register.
unsigned long AD57XX_GetRegisterValue(unsigned char registerAddress) Reads the value of a register.
void AD57XX_EnableOutput(unsigned char state) The part is placed in normal mode or its output is clamped to the ground.
void AD57XX_SetDacValue(unsigned long value) Writes to the DAC register.
void AD57XX_SetClearCode(unsigned long clrCode) Sets the clear code.
void AD57XX_SoftInstruction(unsigned char instructionBit) Asserts RESET, CLR and LDAC in a software manner.
void AD57XX_Setup(unsigned long setupWord) Writes to Control Register.

Reference Project Overview

The reference project: The reference project initializes the device, reads the parts internal registers displays them and then generates a triangle signal.

Software Project Setup

This section presents the steps for developing a software application that will run on the Renesas Demo Kit for RX62N for controlling and monitoring the operation of the ADI part.

  • Run the High-performance Embedded Workshop integrated development environment.
  • A window will appear asking to create or open project workspace. Choose “Create a new project workspace” option and press OK.
  • From “Project Types” option select “Application”, name the Workspace and the Project “ADIEvalBoard”, select the “RX” CPU family and “Renesas RX Standard” tool chain. Press OK.

  • A few windows will appear asking to configure the project:
    • In the “Select Target CPU” window, select “RX600” CPU series, “RX62N” CPU Type and press Next.
    • In the “Option Setting” windows keep default settings and press Next.
    • In the “Setting the Content of Files to be generated” window select “None” for the “Generate main() Function” option and press Next.
    • In the “Setting the Standard Library” window press “Disable all” and then Next.
    • In the “Setting the Stack Area” window check the “Use User Stack” option and press Next.
    • In the “Setting the Vector” window keep default settings and press Next.
    • In the “Setting the Target System for Debugging” window choose “RX600 Segger J-Link” target and press Next.
    • In the “Setting the Debugger Options” and “Changing the Files Name to be created” windows keep default settings, press Next and Finish.
  • The workspace is created.

  • The RPDL (Renesas Peripheral Driver Library) has to integrated in the project. Unzip the RPDL files (double-click on the file “RPDL_RX62N.exe”). Navigate to where the RPDL files were unpacked and double-click on the “Copy_RPDL_RX62N.bat” to start the copy process. Choose the LQFP package, type the full path where the project was created and after the files were copied, press any key to close the window.
  • The new source files have to be included in the project. Use the key sequence Alt, P, A to open the “Add files to project ‘ADIEvalBoard’” window. Double click on the RPDL folder. From the “Files of type” drop-down list, select “C source file (*.C)”. Select all of the files and press Add.

  • To avoid conflicts with standard project files remove the files “intprg.c” and “vecttbl.c” which are included in the project. Use the key sequence Alt, P, R to open the “Remove Project Files” window. Select the files, click on Remove and press OK.

  • Next the new directory has to be included in the project. Use the key sequence Alt, B, R to open the “RX Standard Toolchain” window. Select the C/C++ tab, select “Show entries for: Include file directories” and press Add. Select “Relative to: Project directory”, type “RPDL” as sub-directory and press OK.

  • The library file path has to be added in the project. Select the Link/Library tab, select “Show entries for: Library files” and press Add. Select “Relative to: Project directory”, type “RPDL\RX62N_library” as file path and press OK.

  • Because the “intprg.c” file was removed the “PIntPrg” specified in option “start” has to be removed. Change “Category” to “Section”. Press “Edit”, select “PIntPRG” and press “Remove”. From this window the address of each section can be also modified. After all the changes are made press OK two times.

  • At this point the files extracted from the zip file located in the “Software Tools” section have to be added into the project. Copy all the files from the archive into the project folder.

  • Now, the files have to be included in the project. Use the key sequence Alt, P, A to open the “Add files to project ‘ADIEvalBoard’” window. Navigate into ADI folder. From the “Files of type” drop-down list, select “Project Files”. Select all the copied files and press Add.

  • Now, the project is ready to be built. Press F7. The message after the Build Process is finished has to be “0 Errors, 0 Warnings”. To run the program on the board, you have to download the firmware into the microprocessor’s memory.
