DAC Signal Pins
The eight 12-bit DACs of the AMC7834 device are accessible through the J5 connector, as shown in
. The DACs are separated into four bipolar DACs, and four unipolar DACs. The bipolar can be
programmed for any of the following ranges: –4- to +1-V, –5- to 0-V, and 0- to 5-V range. The unipolar
DACs range can be set from the following two ranges: 0 to 5 V, and 2.5 to 7.5 V.

PA ON Signal
The PA ON signal provides the control voltage to drive an external PMOS switch capable of turning on/off
the drain current to a PA transistor. Maximum output voltage is set by PAVDD and limited to +20-V.

External Remote Temperature
The AMC7834 device includes two remote temperature sensor diode drivers. These pins can be
connected to the onboard diode-connected transistors, or connected externally through the J1 and J2
terminal blocks. This information is presented in
