Description
Demonstration circuit 1332A features the
LTC
®
2631,
a 12-
bit I
2
C DAC. This device establishes a new benchmark for
size and integration of 12-bit DACs and onboard reference.
The DC1332A may be connected directly to the target
application’s analog signals while using the DC590 USB
serial controller board and supplied software to measure
performance. After evaluating with Linear Technology’s
software, the digital signals can be connected to the end
application’s processor/controller for development of the
serial interface.

Quick start proceDure
1. Connect the DC1332A to a DC590 USB serial controller
using the supplied 14-conductor ribbon cable.
2. Connect the DC590 to the host PC with a standard
USB A/B cable.
3. Run the QuikEval™ evaluation software supplied
with the DC590 or download it from:
www.linear.com/software. The correct program will
be loaded automatically.
Options are available to display the DAC output in voltage,
hex code, or decimal count. Additionally, the reference
voltage may be changed to reflect an actual measured
value, such that the output voltage matches the theoreti-
cal output voltage. The reference mode may be changed
from internal reference to external reference.
Features may be periodically added to the software. See
the software’s help menu for the latest information.

JUMPERS
CA0:
This sets the I
2
C address of the LTC2631. These
should be set to 1 (V
CC
) by default.
CA1/REF_SEL:
On the B and D versions of the demo board,
this is used to determine the I
2
C address of the LTC2631.
On the A and C versions of the demo board, this is used
to determine the reference input.
ANALOG CONNECTIONS
DAC outputs are provided on the row of turret posts at
the edge of the board.
GROUNDING AND POWER CONNECTIONS
Power (V
CC
):
Normally, the DC1332A is powered by the
DC590 controller. V
CC
can be supplied to the 5V turret,
however the power supply on the DC590 must be disabled!
Refer to the DC590 Quick Start Guide for more details on
this mode of operation.
Grounding:
Three ground posts are provided.
