GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This user guide details the operation of the evaluation board
for the AD5326 quad channel, voltage output DAC.
The evaluation board is designed to help users quickly prototype
new AD5326 circuits and reduce design time. The AD5326
operates from a single 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply.
Full data is available in the AD5326 data sheet, which must be
consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the
evaluation board.
The evaluation board interfaces to the USB port of a PC via
the SDP-B controller board (EVAL-SDP-CB1Z). Software is
supplied with the evaluation board to allow the user to program
the AD5326.
This evaluation board requires SDP-B controller board (EVAL-
SDP-CB1Z), which is available for order on the Analog Devices
website at www.analog.com.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
POWER SUPPLIES
The nanoDAC® EVAL-MBnanoDAC-SDZ motherboard
supports single and dual power supplies.
The EVAL-AD5340DBZ evaluation board can be powered
either from the SDP-B port or externally by the J5 and J6
connectors, as described in Table 1.
Both AGND and DGND inputs are provided on the board. The
AGND and DGND planes are connected at one location on the
EVAL-MBnanoDAC-SDZ. It is recommended that AGND and
DGND not be connected elsewhere in the system to avoid
ground loop problems.
All supplies are decoupled to ground with 10 μF tantalum and
0.1 μF ceramic capacitors.

MOTHERBOARD LINK OPTIONS
Various link options are incorporated in the EVAL-MBnanoDAC-
SDZ and must be set for the required operating conditions
before using the board. Table 2 describes the positions of the
links to control the evaluation board via the SDP-B board using
a PC and external power supplies. The functions of these link
options are described in detail in Table 4.
The positions listed in Table 2 and Table 4 match the evaluation
board imprints (see Figure 12).

DAUGHTER BOARD LINK OPTIONS
The EVAL-AD5340DBZ daughter board has two link options.
These links set the least significant bits (LSBs) of the I2C addresses
of the DAC. Table 3 describes the function of these links. Set
LK1 and LK2 to Position B for proper device operation.

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE QUICK START PROCEDURES
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
The AD5326 evaluation software is compatible with Windows®
Vista (64-bit/32-bit) and Windows 7 (64-bit/32-bit).
Install the software before connecting the SDP-B board to the
USB port of the PC to ensure that the SDP-B board is
recognized when it connects to the PC.
To i nstall the AD5326 evaluation software, take the following
steps:
1. Start the Windows operating system.
2. Download the installation software from the EVAL-
AD5326DBZ evaluation board page.
3. Run the setup.exe file from the installer folder if it does not
open automatically.
4. After the installation is complete, power up the evaluation
board as described in the Power Supplies section.
5. Connect the EVAL-AD5326DBZ evaluation board to the
SDP-B controller board and connect the SDP-B board to
the PC using the USB cable included in the evaluation kit.
6. When the software detects the EVAL-AD5326DBZ,
proceed through any dialog boxes that appear to finalize
the installation.
RUNNING THE SOFTWARE
To run the program, do the following:
1. Connect the evaluation board to the SDP-B board and
connect the USB cable between the SDP-B board and the PC.
2. Power up the evaluation board as described in the Power
Supplies section.
3. From the Start menu, click All Programs, Analog Devices,
AD5326 Evaluation Software.
If the SDP-B board is not connected to the USB port when the
software is launched, a connectivity error displays (see Figure 2).
Simply connect the evaluation board to the USB port of the PC and
wait a few seconds. When the SDP-B board is detected, the display
is updated (see Figure 3).
Alternatively, the software can be used without an evaluation
board. The software runs in simulation mode displaying expected
outputs based on the input data. The main window of the AD5326
evaluation software then opens, as shown in Figure 4.

SOFTWARE OPERATION
The software for the AD5326 allows the user to program values
to the input and DAC registers of each DAC individually.
Write to Input Register
Click Write to Input Register to load the code of the input data
control to the input register of the selected DAC in the DAC
Selection box.
LDAC Control
Click Pulse LDAC to bring the LDAC pin low and then back to
high. Doing this copies the data from the input registers to the
DAC registers, and the outputs update accordingly. The LDAC
pin can also be set high or low by clicking HIGH or LOW in
the LDAC box.
Power-Down Control
All of the DACs can be powered down simultaneously. A
selection box allows the device to operate in normal mode or
power-down mode. Click the blue progressive disclosure button
in the Power-Down Logic block to access the Powerdown
Configuration window, as shown in Figure 5. Click OK to write
the appropriate values to the AD5326 when the power-down
setting for the DAC is selected.

Figure 5. Powerdown Configuration Window
Gain Control
The gain control of each of the DACs can be set individually.
Click the blue progressive disclosure button in the Gain- Select
Logic block to access the Gain Control window, as shown in
Figure 6. Click X1 to set a full-scale output of 2.5 V or click X2
to set a full-scale output of 5 V.

Buffer Control
The reference buffer of each of the DACs can be set individually.
Click the blue progressive disclosure button in the I2C box to
access the Buffer Config window, as shown in Figure 7. Select
the buffer setting and click on OK to apply the DAC
configuration.
