EVM Operation
This section covers in detail the EVM operation to provide guidance to the user in evaluating the onboard
DAC and how to interface the EVM to a host processor.
See the specific DAC data sheet, as listed in the Related Documentation from Texas Instruments section
(
) of this user guide for more information about the DAC serial interface and other related
topics.
The EVM board is factory-tested and configured to operate in the bipolar output mode.
3.1
Factory Default Setting
The EVM board is set to its default configuration from the factory as described in
to operate in
bipolar ±5-V output operation as measured from TP5. The default jumper settings below are shown in
and
for each respective EVM.

W7
CLOSE
OSR1 is tied low, configured for 2x oversampling rate. This is hardwired to DGND for the
DAC8580/81EVM.
W8
CLOSE
OSR2 is tied low, configured for 2x oversampling rate. This is hardwired to DGND for the
DAC8580/81EVM.
W9
CLOSE
RSTB is tied low so the DAC is configured for conventional operation. Digital filter is
disconnected. This is hardwired to DGND for the DAC8580/81EVM.
W10
CLOSE
BPB is tied low so the DAC is configured for conventional operation. Digital filter is
disconnected. This is hardwired to DGND for the DAC8580/81EVM.

The CS signal is routed to FSYNC to synchronize the data word.
W15
CLOSE
Output operational amplifier is configured for a gain of 2.
W16
OPEN
MUTEB/CLR is high so that the DAC8580/DAC8581 output is not set to midscale (~0V).
