Using IC211 Kit
• Stand-alone mode (without the
Microcontroller)
– Done by putting the ENABLE CPU switch in
the DISABLE mode

ADC and DAC Sections
Experiment: Part A
DAC
• Monitoring DAC output voltage using a
Digital Multimeter
– Jumpers JP2 to JP9 (putting any jumper
makes that particular bit 0)
– Put all jumpers (JP2 to JP9) - corresponds to
00000000 (binary); note the reading
– Remove jumpers one by one and note the
reading
– All jumpers removed - (corresponds to
11111111 (binary) – full scale reading
Experiment: Part B
ADC - with internal DC input
• ADC input options
– Either internal DC through a potentiometer (0
to 5 V) – Jumpers JP11 and JP21 inserted.
OR
- External analog input (through the connector)
from a signal source
Part B: ADC with internal DC
• Put jumpers JP11 and JP21 (JP11 routes
ADC output to DAC inputs; JP21 is for
enabling internal ADC input)
• Remove jumpers J2 to J9 (DAC inputs) so
as to observe ADC output through DAC
• Keep potentiometer fully CCW initially,
• Rotate pot clockwise – observe DAC
LEDs and measure corresponding ADC
input voltage
Part C : Signal Digitization and
Reconstruction
• Remove JP21 (to have ADC input from outside).
• Keep JP11 (ADC outputs routed to DAC inputs)
• Adjust Sig.Gen in PC Scope to give sine wave
with 2 Vpk-to-pk, and 1.5V DC offset, i.e signal
going from 0.5 to 2.5 V
• ADC input: external Sinusoidal signal (frequency
= 10 Hz, from USB Function Gen. output)
• Observe ADC input and DAC output
(reconstructed waveform) on the USB Scope.
• Increase frequency of sine wave and observe
the reconstructed waveform.
Part C : Signal Digitization and
Reconstruction
• Screen captures of ADC input and the
Reconstructed Signal (at the DAC output)
– ADC input (Channel A – Yellow)
– DAC output (Channel B – Purple)
• Chan A Meter – Vpk-pk, Max and Freq
• Chan B Meter - Vpk-pk, and Max (Freq
readings - not correct)
