EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
MOTHERBOARD POWER SUPPLIES
The EVAL-MBnanoDAC-SDZ motherboard supports single
and dual power supplies.
The EVAL-AD5680DBZ evaluation board can be powered either
from the SDP-B port, or externally by the J5 and J6 connectors,
as described in Table 1.
The AGND and DGND inputs are provided on the EVAL-
MBnanoDAC-SDZ 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 else-
where in the system to avoid ground loop problems.
All supplies are decoupled to ground with 10 μF tantalum and
0.1 μF ceramic capacitors.
Table 1. Power Supply Connectors
Connector No. Label Voltage
J5, Pin 1 (J5-1) VDD Analog positive power supply; VDD
single supply, 5.5 V and dual supply,
±5.5 V.
J5, Pin 2 (J5-2) AGND Analog ground.
J5, Pin 3 (J5-3) VSS Analog negative power supply, VSS
dual supply −5.5 V.
J6, Pin 1 (J6-1) VLOGIC Digital supply from 1.8 V to VDD.
J6, Pin 2 (J6-2) DGND Digital ground.
LINK OPTIONS
A number of 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 3. The positions listed
in Table 2 and Table 3 match the evaluation board imprints (see
Figure 9).

Table 3. Link Functions
Link Number Function
REF1 to REF4 These links select the reference source.
Position EXT selects an off board voltage reference via the appropriate EXT_REF_x connector.
Position VDD selects VDD as the reference source.
Position 4.096V selects the on-board 4.096 V reference as the reference source.
Position 2.5V selects the on-board 2.5 V reference as the reference source.
Position 5V selects the on-board 5 V reference as the reference source.
LK5 This link selects the positive digital-to-analog converter (DAC) analog voltage source.
Position A selects the internal voltage source from the SDP-B board.
Position B selects the 3.3 V internal voltage source from the ADP121 on the motherboard.
Position C selects an external supply voltage, VDD.
LK6 This link selects the VLOGIC voltage source.
Position +3V3 selects the digital voltage source from the SDP-B board, 3.3 V.
Position VLOGIC selects an external digital supply voltage, VLOGIC.
LK7 This link selects the negative DAC analog voltage source.
Position A selects VSS.
Position B selects AGND.
