DAC80508: I am not able to get any output voltage on DAC

Part Number: DAC80508

I have used DAC80508 evaluation board (DAC80508EVM) with following mentioned simple python program on Raspberry PI and it works well to get DAC outputs. Then I have used same DAC IC (DAC80508MRTER) and  I prepared a board with similar circuitry to the evaluation board and tried to use same program to get outputs and I always get 0V on all outputs. I need you help to rectify the issue.

 

from gpiozero import LED

import binascii

import spidev

from time import sleep

dac1 = LED(21)

dac1.on()

 

spi = spidev.SpiDev() #create spi object

spi.open(0,1) #open spi port 0, device (CS) 1

spi.max_speed_hz = 5000

spi.mode = 1

 

dac1.on()

sleep(0.1)

dac1.off()

 

voltage_write = spi.writebytes([0x02,0xFF,0x00])

sleep(0.1)

 

dac1.on()

sleep(0.1)

dac1.off()

power_up = spi.writebytes([0x03, 0x00, 0x00])

sleep(0.1)

 

dac1.on()

sleep(0.1)

dac1.off();

voltage_write = spi.writebytes([0x04, 0x00, 0xFF ])

dac1.on()

 

hb1 = []

lb1 = []             

                       

for i in range(8):

            x = 6

            while(x >5):                  

                        x = input("Enter a voltage to set the DAC 1: channel " + str(i) + " ")

                        if x >5 :

                                    print("Enter voltage less than 5 V")        

            y = int(x/5.0*(2**16-1))

            hb1.append((y & 0xFF00)>>8)

            lb1.append(y & 0x00FF)

 

j = 8

while j < 16:

            dac1.on()

            sleep(0.1)

            dac1.off()

            h = hb1[j-8]

            l = lb1[j-8]

            voltage_write = spi.writebytes([j, h, l])

 

            dac1.on()

            j = j+1

            sleep(1)

 

try:

            while True:

                                    pass

 

except KeyboardInterrupt:

            print("Closed")

            spi.close()
