DEMO MANUAL DC1488A

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 V

OUTA

 through V

OUTD

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.
