DAC53401EVM
2.2 Hardware Setup
This section provides the overall system setup for the EVM. The hardware setup contains the Analog EVM
Controller (MSP-EXP432E401Y Launchpad), BOOSTXL-DAC-PORT, and DAC53401EVM. A PC runs
software that provides an interface to the DAC53401EVM through the Analog EVM Controller.
The Analog EVM Controller generates 5 V of power that can be used as VDD for the DAC. Analog EVM
Controller also generates 3.3 V of power that can be used for I
2
C pull-ups. The IO ports of the Analog
EVM Controller and level translators used on the BOOSTXL-DAC-PORT and DAC53401EVM can
withstand a maximum of 3.6-V IO levels. The Analog EVM Controller also generates digital signals used to
communicate with the EVM board.
The BOOSTXL-DAC-PORT is a generic platform used for catalog DACs that provides a predefined
interface to connect a DAC evaluation module. The BOOSTXL-DAC-PORT also provides various options
for power supply, reference, and digital signals. A connector is provided on the BOOSTXL-DAC-PORT for
external power supplies. This platform is designed to host additional boards stacked up on the BOOSTXL-
DAC-PORT in order to provide extended functions.
Figure 5 displays the system setup.

2.2.1 Power Configurations and Jumper Settings
The DAC53401EVM provides electrical connections to the device supply pins. The connectors and
optional configurations are shown in
Table 4 . The jumper settings on the BOOSTXL-DAC-PORT are
crucial to the proper functioning of the DAC53401EVM. Table 5 provides the details of the possible jumper
settings on the BOOSTXL-DAC-PORT.
