The MAX5876/MAX5877/MAX5878 evaluation kits (EV
kit) are fully assembled and tested printed circuit boards
(PCBs) that contain all the components necessary to
evaluate the performance of the MAX5876/MAX5877/MAX5878 digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The
MAX5876 (12-bit)/MAX5877 (14-bit)/MAX5878 (16-bit)
are 250Msps, dual DACs with interleaved LVDS inputs,
integrated 1.2V voltage reference, and differential current
outputs. The EV kits operate with LVDS-compatible
digital data inputs, a single-ended clock input, and a
3.3V/1.8V dual power supply for simple board operation.
The MAX5876/MAX5877/MAX5878 EV kits also contain
an external 1.25V voltage-reference circuit that can be
used to drive the MAX5876/MAX5877/MAX5878 input
reference voltage pin.
