LAUNCHXL-F28379D: VREFHI pin on launchpad for implementing DAC

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28379D

Hello,

I would like to implement DAC using launchXL-F28379D. 

Currently, I am using the example code buffdac_ex1_enable, to provide a ref voltage, I am unable to locate the pin.

Can launchXL-F28379D be used for DAC implementation?

Thank you

  • Hello Jeet,

    I am unable to locate the pin

    Which pin are you referring to? VDAC?

    The VDAC pin is muxed with the ADCINB0 pin. That pin is not brought out on the LaunchPad unfortunately.

    https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000-microcontrollers-group/c2000/f/c2000-microcontrollers-forum/604699/launchxl-f28379d-where-is-the-location-of-adcinb0-on-board

    You could modify the example code to use VREFHI as the reference voltage.

  • Hello, I tried modifying the example code to use VREFHI also for VREHI, the MCU must have 5V thus is have connected the jumper accordingly. 

    While using DACOUTB (through example code) at pin 70 of launchXL-F28379D, I am not able to receive any output. But, I am able to receive output from DACOUTA (after switching to DACA_BASE in the example code)

    What can be the reason for DACOUTB not working.

    //!
    //! This example generates a voltage on the buffered DAC output,
    //! DACOUTA/ADCINA0 and uses the default DAC reference setting of
    //! VDAC.
    //!
    //! \b External \b Connections \n
    //!  - When the DAC reference is set to VDAC, an external reference voltage
    //!    must be applied to the VDAC pin. This can be accomplished by connecting a
    //!    jumper wire from 3.3V to ADCINB0.
    //!
    //! \b Watch \b Variables \n
    //!  - None.
