DAC8728EVM

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the DAC8728EVM, an evaluation
board for the

DAC8728

. The DAC8728 is a low-power, octal, ±15V output, parallel input, 16-bit

digital-to-analog converter (DAC). This evaluation module (EVM) allows evaluation of all aspects of the
DAC8728 and gives control over every pin on the device. Complete circuit descriptions, schematic
diagrams, and bills of material are included in this document.
