DAC53608 Evaluation Module
1
Overview
The DAC53608EVM is an easy to use platform for evaluating the functionality and performance of the
DAC53608 device. The DAC53608 and DAC43608 are a pin-compatible family of eight-channel, buffered
voltage-output digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that have 10-bit and 8-bit resolution. The external
reference range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V gives full scale output voltage of 1.8 V to 5.5 V. These devices are
monotonic across the power supply range. The devices communicate through an I2C interface. These
devices support I2C standard mode (100 kbps), fast mode (400 kbps), and fast+ mode (1 Mbps). These
devices have a load DAC (LDAC) pin that allows simultaneous DAC updates. The EVM provides the
GPIO and I2C programming interface using a PC-based graphical user interface (GUI).
