EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
POWER SUPPLIES
The
nano
DAC®
EVAL-MBnanoDAC-SDZ
motherboard
supports single and dual power supplies.
The
EVAL-AD5325DBZ
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 11).

DAUGHTER BOARD LINK OPTIONS
The
EVAL-AD5325DBZ
daughter board has one link option.
This link sets the least significant bit (LSB) of the I
2
C address of
the DAC. Table 3 describes the function of the link. Set LK1 to
Position B for proper device operation.
