The MAX5893/MAX5894/MAX5895 evaluation kits (EV
kits) are fully assembled and tested circuit boards that
contain all the components necessary to evaluate the performance
of this family of interpolating and modulating
dual digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The EV kit
boards include circuitry that converts the DAC differential
output currents to single-ended voltages. The EV kits also
include circuitry that generates a clock signal from an AC
sine-wave input signal.
The included evaluation software runs under Windows®
98/2000/XP, providing a graphical user interface (GUI) to
exercise the features of the MAX5893/MAX5894/
MAX5895 through the use of an SPI™ interface.
The MAX5893/MAX5894/MAX5895 EV kits provide a
proven PC board layout to facilitate evaluation of the
MAX5893/MAX5894/MAX5895. The EV kits must be interfaced
to appropriate timing signals for proper operation.
When using the EV kits without the CMOD232 command
module, connect the system-side power (VMOD), ground-return
(GND), and interface (SCLK, CS, DIN, DOUT) signals
to the pads on the PC board (see Figure 5). Refer to
the MAX5895 data sheet for timing requirements.
The MAX5895 evaluation software runs under Windows
98/2000/XP on an IBM® PC, interfacing to the EV system
board (CMOD232) through the computer's serial communications
port. See the Quick Start section for setup and
operating instructions.
Order the complete EV system for comprehensive
evaluation of the MAX5893/MAX5894/MAX5895 using a
personal computer. Order the EV kit if the command
module has already been purchased with another Maxim
EV system, or for custom use in other microcontroller
(µC)-based systems.
The MAX5893/MAX5894/MAX5895 EV kits can be used
to evaluate the MAX5893 (12-bit), MAX5894 (14-bit),
and the MAX5895 (16-bit) digital-to-analog converters.
See the Ordering Information table for instructions on
how to order the EV kit (and EV system) with these
devices preinstalled.
