The MAX5183 evaluation kit (EV kit) is designed to simplify
evaluation of the 8-bit and 10-bit, dual, 40MHz,
simultaneous-update or alternate-phase-update
MAX5180/MAX5183, MAX5182/MAX5185, MAX5186/MAX5189, and MAX5188/MAX5191 digital-to-analog
converters (DACs). The board contains all circuitry necessary
for evaluating the dynamic performance of these
high-speed converters, including a circuit to convert
the DAC's differential outputs into single-ended outputs.
Since the design combines high-speed analog
and digital circuitry, the board layout calls for special
precautions and design features.
Connector pads for power supplies (AVDD, DVDD, VCC,
and VEE), DAC outputs (VOUT1, VOUT1A, VOUT2, and
VOUT2A), and SMA connectors for the digital and control
inputs (D0-D9,active-low CS, CLK) simplify connection to the
EV kit. The four-layer board layout is optimized for best
dynamic performance.
The MAX5183 dual, 10-bit, 40MHz, simultaneous update
DAC is installed on the EV kit board. The kit can
be used to evaluate the MAX5180, MAX5182, MAX5185,
MAX5186, MAX5188, MAX5189, or MAX5191 with minor
component changes.
