This page shown in
provides an interface to quickly enable and set the output voltages on all
channels of DAC53608. The toggle switch toggles between power up and power down bits for respective
channels.
The grayed out buttons represent a logic LOW on the respective bits. That corresponds
to power up.
The DAC53608 comes in power down mode by default. The toggle switches need to be
made off (Gray) to bring respective DAC channels out of power down. The number boxes program the
corresponding code on the DAC data register. Note that the DAC data registers are
WRITE ONLY
. Every
Write operation on this GUI is followed by a read back. Hence, the data registers will show "0" after the
Write operation. This behavior is normal and is expected for all fields that are
WRITE ONLY
. The
broadcast field is used for powering up/down all channels and also to broadcast a common DAC code.
Note that no general purpose IO controls for A0, LDAC, and CLR pins have been provided on this version
of the software. The default condition for A0 is LOW, LDAC is low and CLR is HIGH. For changing the
behavior of these pins, they should be manually tied to VIO or GND.
