DAC63204EVM User's Guide

ABSTRACT

This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the DAC63204EVM evaluation module 
(EVM). This EVM is designed to evaluate the performance of the 

DAC63204

DAC53204

, and 

DAC43204 

(DACx3204) commercial, buffered voltage output DACs in a variety of configurations. Throughout this document, 
the terms evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the DAC63204EVM. This 
document includes a schematic, printed-circuit board (PCB) layouts, and a complete bill of materials.
