The MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board is designed to work with both the Explorer 16 Development Board (P/N: DV164033) and the PICkitTM Serial Analyzer (P/N: DV164122). The following topics are covered: * Description of the MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board. * How to use the MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board with the Explorer 16 Starter Kit. * How to use MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board with the PICkitTM Serial Analyzer. Note 1: 2: 1.2 If you use the PIC Explorer 16, you need Sections 1.4 -- 1.5 only. If you use the PICkitTM Serial Analyzer, you need Sections 1.6 -- 1.8 only. DESCRIPTION OF THE MCP47X6 PICtailTM PLUS DAUGHTER BOARD The MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board (P/N ADM00317) contains the MCP4706 (8-bit DAC), MCP4716 (10-bit DAC), and MCP4726 (12-bit DAC) devices. These DAC devices are communicating with the external Master device (MCU) using I2C serial interface communication. The MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board does not include the Master device (MCU), but it has two interface connectors that can be used for the external device, which has the Master device (MCU) to communicate with this board. The two interfaces are: (a) Connector (J3) for Explorer 16 Starter Kit (P/N: DV164033) for 16-bit MCU environment. The firmware for the 16-bit MCU is provided with this board. (b) 6-pin connector (J1) for PICkitTM Serial Analyzer (P/N: DV164122) for reading and writing the DAC registers using the PICkitTM Serial Analyzer PC software. The user can connect the MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board to one of the above tools and perform their own experiments. These two external devices are used to control the DAC devices on the daughter board. The user can choose one of these tools to use along with the daughter board. The MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board has test points for SCL and SDA, and VOUT pads for each device. By connecting an oscilloscope to these test points (to SCL, SDA, VOUT) or a digital multimeter to the VOUT pads, the user can examine the data communications through the I2CTM bus line and observe the resulting DAC output (VOUT). Refer to Appendix A. "Schematic and Layouts". Note: (c) 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. The user can also control the DAC devices on the MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board by providing I2C commands through the interface communication terminals on the daughter board, without using the Explorer 16 Development Board or the PICkitTM Serial Analyzer.

DS51932B-page 11 MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board User's Guide 1.4 GETTING STARTED WITH THE EXPLORER 16 DEVELOPMENT BOARD This section describes how to use the MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board with the Explorer 16 Development Board. After receiving the MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board, program the 16-bit PIC24FJ128 MCU on the Explorer 16 Starter Kit using the firmware provided. The user can download the latest firmware from the Microchip website: www.microchip.com. * Step 1: Insert the MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board to the Explorer 16 Development Board. Figure 1-2 shows the configuration when the board is connected to the Explorer 16 Development Board. * Step 2: Program the Explorer 16 Development Board using the firmware provided with this board. Figure 1-3 shows the connection of the MPLAB ICD2 with the Explorer 16 Development Board for programming. * Step 3: Once the programming is done, disconnect the MPLAB ICD2 from the Explorer 16 Development Board. * Step 4: Now you can evaluate the performance of the DAC devices. The LCD on the Explorer 16 Development Board will display instructions on how to select the DAC device using the push button switches on the Development Board: (a) S3 for MCP4726, (b) S6 for MCP4716, and (c) S5 for MCP4706. S4 is used to increment the DAC code. If you hold down the S4 switch, the DAC code will increase continuously until it reaches the maximum value, and then it starts from code 0 again. You can observe this event by simply connecting a voltmeter at the VOUT pin while holding down the S4 switch. All procedures are very intuitive and interactive using the Push button switches and by following the instructions on the LCD. The user can observe the DAC output (VOUT) changes using an oscilloscope or voltmeter by pressing the S4 switch. The firmware provided is an example that can be used as reference for the user's applications. DS51932B-page 12 (c) 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.

The user can download the firmware to the MCU using the MPLAB ICD2 (or ICD3) programmer. 1.5.1.1 THE PIC24FJ128 MCU FIRMWARE FOR THE MCP47X6 PICtailTM PLUS DAUGHTER BOARD The original firmware for the Explorer 16 Development Board is modified for the MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board demonstration. The firmware uses most of the original code for the Explorer 16 Development Board except the I2C peripheral control routines for the PIC24FJ128 MCU. The following four routines are added or modified from the original Explorer 16 Development Board firmware: * PIC24ExplDemo_MCP4726_Main.c * MCP47x6_I2C_Func.c * Banner_MCP4726_MCP4716_MCP4706.c * I2C_MCP4726.h The source codes are compiled by using Microchip's C30 Compiler and the hex code is programmed to the MCU using the MPLAB ICD 2. Figure 1-3 shows the connection between the MPLAB ICD 2 and the Explorer 16 Development Board. Figure 1-4 shows the MPLAB IDE programming environment. (c) 2011 Microchip Technology Inc. DS51932B-page 13 MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board User's Guide 1.5.1.2 FIRMWARE FLOW CHART FOR THE MCP47X6 PICtailTM PLUS DAUGHTER BOARD Figure 1-5 shows the flow chart of the firmware. Once the MCU firmware is programmed, the LCD will display instructions (with repeats) for the next steps. The firmware uses four push button switches on the Explorer 16 Development Board. The features of the switches are: * * * * S3: Selecting MCP4726 (12-bit DAC). MCP4726 Output is available at VOUT 1 S6: Selecting MCP4716 (10-bit DAC). MCP4716 Output is available at VOUT 2 S5: Selecting MCP4706 (8-bit DAC). MCP4706 Output is available at VOUT 3 S4: Incrementing the DAC code using a write command (writing both DAC register and EEPROM). The DAC output can be monitored at the VOUT terminal. See Figure 1-6 for the VOUT waveform. The Buzzer is connected to the MCP4726 output through JP2. Please disconnect JP2 if you don't need audible sounds. The firmware is interactive with push button switches. Table 1-3 shows the details of the switches that are used. The user can switch to other devices by using the device selection push button switches (S3, S6 and S5) any time. The DAC output can be updated with the S4. The DAC's configuration bit settings that are used in the firmware are: * Gain = 1x, Reference = Internal VDD TABLE 1-3: Device MCP4726 (12 bit DAC) MCP4716 (10 bit DAC) MCP4726 (8 bit DAC) 1.5.1.3 SWITCHES FOR THE FIRMWARE CONTROL Device Selection Switch Switch to increment the DAC Input Code S3 S6 Output Terminal Configuration Bit Settings VOUT 1 S4 S5 VOUT 2 Gain = 1x, VREF = VDD VOUT 3 DAC OUTPUT (VOUT) The MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board has three DAC output terminals for each DAC device. * VOUT 1: Output from the MCP4726 (12-bit DAC) * VOUT 2: Output from the MCP4716 (10-bit DAC) * VOUT 3: Output from the MCP4706 (8-bit DAC) The user can observe the DAC outputs at the VOUT test terminals using a digital voltmeter or an oscilloscope. Figure 1-7 shows the I2C clock (SCL) and data (SDA) signals, and DAC output waveform. Note: DS51932B-page 14 The DAC code is also programmed in EEPROM. The DAC devices on the MCP47x6 Daughter Board will hold the latest settings when the power supply is removed. When power supply is back on again (Example: Remove the board from the Explorer 16 Development Board and connect again), the same DAC output voltage with the previous settings will be immediately available at the DAC output terminal.

Quick Start Instructions 1.6.3 Verifying the EEPROM Data One of the important features of the MCP4706 devices is the nonvolatile memory. When the device is first powered up, it outputs an analog voltage corresponding to the data in the EEPROM. The user can confirm this feature using the following procedures: 1. Program the EEPROM memory. Refer to Section 1.6.2.1 "Creating Script Files to Program DAC Register and EEPROM". 2. Remove power (VDD) from the MCP47X6 PICtailTM Plus Daughter Board, or remove the daughter board from the PICkitTM Serial Analyzer. 3. Reconnect power (VDD) to the Daughter Board or reconnect the Daughter Board to the PICkitTM Serial Analyzer. 4. You can confirm that the programmed DAC output at the DAC output terminal (VOUT 1, VOUT 2, VOUT 3) by using a digital voltmeter. 1.6.4 Reading both the DAC Register and EEPROM data: You can read back the DAC code stored in the DAC register and EEPROM with the following steps: 1. Create a read command script file name as shown below and execute it. 2. The results (DAC code and EEPROM data) will appear on the PICkitTM Serial Transactions page.
