DAC SPI: Wiring of AD1860

·703 words·4 mins· loading · loading
The AD1860 DAC IC is correctly wired and produces a valid analog output. A reference schematic from the early 1990s is used to identify non-critical components, and a full-scale sawtooth waveform (±3 V) is generated on one channel using an Arduino. The hardware setup functions as expected; the remaining task is implementing a correct SPI interface capable of handling 18-bit transfers.
