DAC0830

[bnjsxz]

I need to simulate the operation of the DAC0830 IC in the Proteus software, I can't find any tutorial on YT, I am a new engineering student. Plis

What micro controller are you going to use?

The DAC0830 is getting pricey.. I did a tutorial for 8051 with DAC and ADC but via SPI.
But I used Microchip DAC's and ADC's https://www.electro-tech-online.com/articles/basic-8051-tutorial-6.714/

I'll dig out some code I did for the DACxxxx but it was a while ago so I may not be successful

Internally this is basically it, Fig. 17 :

And its double buffered, so create that on your schematic.

I think this tutorial will be helpful: https://www.eeeguide.com/dac0830-digital-to-analog-converter/
Here is the datasheet: https://www.jameco.com/Jameco/Products/ProdDS/128186.pdf
You can also use PCF8591 instead:

Interface PCF8591 ADC/DAC Analog Digital Converter Module with Raspberry Pi 4 - The Engineering Projects

Today, we will Interface PCF8591 ADC/DAC Analog Digital Converter Module with Raspberry Pi 4, we will attach a potentiometer with RPi4 and get its analog value.

For simulating the DAC0830 IC in Proteus, it's common to encounter limited resources, especially for specific components like DACs. Here’s a step-by-step approach to get started with DAC simulation, which should help even as a beginner.

1. Install Proteus and Libraries: Ensure you have Proteus installed, and look up any library files needed for DAC0830. Sometimes additional libraries need to be imported manually, which you can find on engineering forums or libraries like GitHub.
2. Set Up a Basic Circuit: Start with a basic circuit setup in Proteus:
   • Use a microcontroller like an STM32 or Arduino (if available in your library) to send digital signals to the DAC0830.
   • Connect the output of the DAC0830 to an oscilloscope in Proteus, so you can observe the analog output.
3. Programming the Microcontroller: You’ll need to program the microcontroller to send specific digital values to the DAC. Use simple code to increment and decrement the digital values so that you can observe changes in the analog output on the oscilloscope.
4. Check Similar Tutorials: While there might not be a tutorial for DAC0830 specifically, DAC simulations with other models often use similar steps, and those can provide some valuable insight. Look up tutorials for other DACs in Proteus, as many concepts transfer over.

For further assistance, you can explore products like the PCF8591P (another DAC/ADC IC) as an alternative or for practice, which is available here. This could give you a more accessible start with DACs in Proteus as you develop your skills.

Best of luck with your simulation and studies!
