GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This user guide describes the evaluation board for the AD5064
quad 16-bit digital-to-analog convertor (DAC). The AD5064
operates from a single 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. There is an external
reference, which is the REF195 on this evaluation board.
Complete specifications for the AD5064 are found in the data
sheet available from Analog Devices, Inc., and should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the
evaluation board.
The evaluation board interfaces to the USB port of an IBM®compatible PC. Software is available with the evaluation board
allowing the user to easily program the AD5064.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
POWER SUPPLIES
To power the EVAL-AD5064EBZ, supply 5.5 V between the
AVDD and AGND inputs for the analog supply of the AD5064.
Alternatively, placing Link 6 in Position B powers the analog
circuitry from the USB port (default setting).
Both AGND and DGND inputs are provided on the board. The
AGND and DGND planes are connected at one location close to
the AD5064. To avoid ground loop problems, do not connect
AGND and DGND elsewhere in the system.
Each supply is decoupled to the relevant ground plane with
10 μF and 0.1 μF capacitors. Each device supply pin is also
decoupled with a 10 μF and 0.1 μF capacitor pair to the relevant
ground plane.

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
The AD5064 evaluation kit includes self-installing software on CD.
The software is compatible with Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and
Windows XP.
To ensure that the board is correctly recognized when connected to the PC, install the software before connecting the
evaluation board to the USB port of the PC.
1. Start the Windows operating system and insert the CD.
2. The installation software should launch automatically. If it
does not, run the setup.exe file directly from the CD.
3. After installation from the CD is complete, power up the
AD5064 evaluation board as described in the Power Supplies
section. Connect the evaluation board to the USB port of
the PC using the cable that is supplied.
4. When the software detects the evaluation board, proceed
through any dialog boxes that appear until the installation
is completed.
SOFTWARE OPERATION
1.From the Analog Devices menu, click Start > All
Programs > Analog Devices > AD5064 > AD5064
Evaluation Software.
For older PCs, click Start > Programs > Analog Devices
> AD5064 > AD5064 Evaluation Software.
The main window of the AD5064 evaluation software opens, as
shown in Figure 2. The data programmed into the 32-bit input
shift register is displayed. You can select the command bits, the
address bits, and the data bits by clicking the appropriate option
button under each section.
Command Bits
1. To select a command to program the part, click the drop-
down menu button under the Select Control Function
section and select the appropriate option from the menu.
For example, to program all DAC outputs with full scale,
click Write to and Update DAC Channel n.
2. Click All DACs in the Address Bits section.
3. In the Data section, enter the data in hexadecimal value.
4. To execute, click Wr ite to P art. You must click Writ e to
Part to execute all writes to the part.
Other commands that the AD5064 evaluation software allows
you to program include the power-down DAC bits, the clear code
register bits, and the register bits by clicking the corresponding
option button under the Select Control Function section and
then clicking Write to Part . You can also set the register bits for
the required mode of operation. Consult the AD5064 data sheet
for details.
