Part Number: ADS8344EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DAC8564EVM

Hello ,

I 've two questions please

Firstly ,

I 've purchased ADS8344EVM , DAC886EVM , 5-6K Interface board and DSP-6713

are these four PCBs compatible together because I can't figure out how to connect DAC886EVM & ADS8344EVM together ?

Secondly ,

I know that DAC8564EVM is compatible with ADS8344EVM but DAC8564EVM operates using Serial communication do yo have similar DACs with similar specs but communicate using Parallel digital data inputs ?

Thank you very much in advance.

BR,

Hi Amr,

The ADS8344EVM and the DAC8564EVM would plug onto 'Serial Site 1' and 'Serial Site 2' of the 5-6K Interface board. See page 9 pf the 5-6K Interface Board Users Guide The interface card would then plug onto the TMS320C6713-DSK. You would use two McBSP ports to talk with the ADC and DAC. There may be parallel interface DAC's, but compatibility with the 5-6K Interface is not as straight forward since the serial boards are not compatible with parallel interface EVMs.

Do you mean I can interface 2 DACs and 1 ADC from those I mentioned together with the 5-6k board but without physically direct connection through pin headers but through IDC cable forexample ?
but from pin count of view its possible right ?

You can use 1 ADC and 1 DAC board, or 2 ADC or 2 DACs - IDC cables (if they are short) could be used. You would not be able to use two serial DACs on the same serial interface site.
