MAX5183 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX5183 evaluation kit (EV kit) is designed to sim-
plify 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 nec-
essary for evaluating the dynamic performance of these
high-speed converters, including a circuit to convert
the DAC鈥檚 differential outputs into single-ended out-
puts. 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 and amplifier outputs (OUT1P, OUT1N,
VOUT1, OUT2P, OUT2N, and VOUT2), and SMA con-
nectors for the digital and control inputs (D0鈥揇9,
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.
