Adafruit AD5693R DAC Shield ###########################

Overview


The Adafruit AD5693R DAC Shield_ features an Analog Devices AD5693R 16-bit DAC_ and two STEMMA QT connectors. It has an output span of 2.5 Volt.

Requirements


This shield can be used with boards which provide an I2C connector, for example STEMMA QT or Qwiic connectors. The target board must define a zephyr_i2c node label. See :ref:shields for more details.

Pin Assignments

+--------------+-------------------------------+ | Shield Pin | Function | +==============+===============================+ | SDA | AD5693R I2C SDA | +--------------+-------------------------------+ | SCL | AD5693R I2C SCL | +--------------+-------------------------------+ | A0 | AD5693R I2C address selection | +--------------+-------------------------------+ | VREF | AD5693R reference voltage out | +--------------+-------------------------------+ | LDAC | AD5693R Load DAC input | +--------------+-------------------------------+

When using this shield via the STEMMA QT connector, the supply voltage is 3.3 Volt, so the maximum output voltage is 2.5 Volt.

The LDAC pin is pulled down on the shield, forcing an updated output voltage as soon as the input register has been written.

See :dtcompatible:adi,ad5693 for documentation on how to adjust the devicetree file, for example to adjust the power-down mode.

Programming


Set --shield adafruit_ad5693r when you invoke west build. For example when running the :zephyr:code-sample:dac sample:

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/dac :board: adafruit_feather_rp2040 :shield: adafruit_ad5693r :goals: build flash

Connect a voltmeter to the shield output and observe how the voltage changes.
