EVALUATION BOARD CIRCUITRY
Control of the device is typically performed by the SDP-B
board, which is attached to Connector J1. The SDP-B board
allows the software provided with the kit to load register values
and set the voltage of the DAC output.
When the SDP-B board is not required, the control signals can
be applied to the device by connecting them to the relevant pins
on Connector J7.
The DAC output voltage is available on the J2 SMB Connector.

HOW TO USE THE SOFTWARE
STARTING THE SOFTWARE
To run the software, take the following steps:
1. Connect the evaluation board to the SDP-B board and
connect the USB cable between the SDP-B board and
the PC.
2. Power the SDP-B board and the evaluation board by
connecting 5 V to Connector J2.
3. Click Start > All Programs > Analog Devices > AD506x
Evaluation Software The software will identify the board
connected to the SDP-B and display the board name, as
shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Connection Message
If the SDP-B board is not connected to the USB port when the
software is launched, a connectivity error displays (see Figure 4).
Connect the evaluation board to the USB port of the PC, wait a
few seconds, click Rescan, and follow the instructions.

When the software connects to the SDP-B and evaluation board,
the main window of the evaluation software opens, as shown in
Figure 5.

SOFTWARE OPERATION
The evaluation software allows the user to program values to
the input register of the DAC. The value that is written and the
value of the reference voltage calculates the output voltage.
Power-Down Menu
The device has three power down modes. These can be accessed
by clicking the blue box on the Power-Down Control Logic
section of the block diagram (Figure 5). The Powerdown
Configuration window, shown in Figure 6, then appears to
select the required operating mode.
The input register can still be loaded while the device is in
power down mode, but the output voltage is determined by the
power down condition.
