SLAU699 – May 2017

BOOST-DAC8730-HART Evaluation Module

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the BOOST-DAC8730-HART
evaluation board. This user’s guide also discusses the proper setup and configuration of both software
and hardware, and reviews various aspects of program operation. A complete circuit description,
schematic diagram, and bill of materials (BOM) are also included in this document.
