DESCRIPTION

LTC2634

Quad 12-Bit SPI VOUT DAC

with Internal Reference

Demonstration circuit 1488A features the LTC

2634 quad

12-bit DAC. This device has an integrated, high accuracy,

low drift reference. It has a rail-to-rail output buffer and is

guaranteed monotonic. This DAC communicates through

the simple SPI/MICROWIRE compatible interface. L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and

QUICK START PROCEDURE HARDWARE SETUP

Connect DC1488A to a DC590 USB serial controller using

the supplied 14 conductor ribbon cable. Connect DC590 to

a host PC with a standard USB A/B cable. Run the evalu-

ation software supplied with DC590 or download it from

www.linear.com. The correct control panel will be loaded

automatically. To update DAC values, enter new value in

corresponding output text box and press enter. Be sure

the DAC is enabled.

Complete software documentation is available from the

Help menu item, as features may be added periodically.

Analog Connections

DAC Outputs: The four DAC outputs from the LTC2634

are brought out to turrets labeled VOUTA through VOUTD.

These may be connected to external instruments or other

circuitry.

NOTE: DAC outputs are not in alphabetical order on the

circuit board.

VREF: The REF turret is connected directly to the reference

terminals of the LTC2634. When the integrated reference

is being used, the reference voltage may be monitored at

this point. An external reference may also be applied to this

turret after changing the setting in the QuikEval™ software.

Grounding And Power Connections

Power (VCC): Normally DC1488A is powered by the DC590

controller. VCC can be supplied to this turret, however the

power supply on DC590 must be disabled! Refer to the

DC590 Quick Start Guide for more details on this mode

of operation.

Grounding: Ground turrets as well as 2 grounding strips

are provided.
