GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

This user guide details the operation of the 

EVAL-AD5344DBZ

 

for the 

AD5344

 quad-channel, voltage output DAC. The 

AD5344

 operates from a single 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply. 

The 

EVAL-AD5344DBZ

 is designed to quickly prototype 

AD5344

 

circuits and reduce design time. The 

EVAL-AD5344DBZ

 

interfaces with the USB port of a PC via the 

SDP-B

 controller 

board. Software can be downloaded via the 

EVAL-AD5344DBZ

 

product page that allows users to program the 

AD5344

.  

The 

EVAL-AD5344DBZ

 evaluation board requires the 

SDP-B

 

controller board, which is available for order on the Analog 
Devices website. 
Full specifications for the 

AD5344

 are listed in the 

AD5344

 data 

sheet available from Analog Devices and should be consulted in 
conjunction with this user guide when using the evaluation board.
