The DAC5668/88/89EVM also includes a pi pad network on the modulator output to provide some
matching or filtering, if desired. In its default state, the pad is not used and a series capacitor is used on
the RF output.

Reference Operation
The DAC full-scale output current is set by applying an external resistor (R91) between the BIASJ pin of
the device and ground. The full-scale output current can be adjusted from 20 mA down to 2 mA by varying
this resistor. The full-scale output current, IOUTFS, is defined as follows:
(1)
where V
EXTIO
is the voltage at pin EXTIO. This voltage is 1.2 V when using the internally provided bandgap
reference voltage source. The internal reference can be disabled and overridden by an external reference
by connecting a voltage source to EXTIO and connecting EXTLO to +3.3 Vdc (J5 EXTLO connected
between pins 2 and 3). The specified range for external reference voltages must be observed.

Instruments DACs cascading menus. The DAC5668 and the DAC5688 share the same EVM software,
and the DAC5689 has a stand-alone EVM software.
The DAC EVM application allows users to:
•
Configure the DAC and CDCM7005 registers.
•
Save and load register settings using text files.
•
Visualize the data path through the DAC.
