The DAC7718EVM is an evaluation module for DAC7718, a low power, octal, 12bit digital to analog converter (DAC).It can also evaluates DAC8218 and DAC8718 digital to analog converters. The evaluation module provides a quick and easy way to evaluate the functionality and performance of this high resolution serial input DAC. The evaluation module is designed to work by default for a bipolar output range, but it can be configured for a unipolar output range by properly configuring two jumpers. The evaluation module provides the serial interface header to easily attach to any host microprocessor or TI DSP base system. Installed precision reference voltages of 5VDC and 2.5VDC are selectable using on board jumpers. REF5050 (5.0V DC source) and REF5025 (2.5V DC) are pin compatible with the REF50xx family allowing a wide variety of reference values.
Bipolar and Unipolar mode of operation is supported
Contains all support circuitry needed for the DACxx18 family
Serial interface header to easily attach to DSP base communication systems
Voltage reference options On board 5V, On board 2.5V or external
On board jumpers to control DAC control pins
Compatible with the modular EVM system
Wide selection of digital and i/o voltages
DAC7718EVM can be connected directly to a DSP or microcontroller interface board
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of -16.5V to 21V and the output voltage range of -15V to 15V. Exceeding the specified input range may cause damage to the EVM.
