Software Installation
The DAC5668/88/89EVM comes with a software package that allows the user to configure the DAC and
CDCM7005 registers, save and load register settings to/from text files, and visualize the data path through
the DAC. Communication with the EVM is achieved through a USB port on the host PC. The DAC5668
and the DAC5688 shares the same EVM software since both DACs have internal PLL/VCO. The
DAC5689 has a stand-alone EVM software.
