    EVM Performance Figure 2 - 7. Drill Drawing 2.2 EVM Performance The EVM performance test is conducted using a high density DAC bench test board, an Agilent 3458A digital multimeter, and a PC running the LABVIEW software. The EVM board is tested for all codes of 65535, and the device under test (DUT) is allowed to settle for 1ms before the meter is read.

    Jumper Reference Position Function 1 - 2 Analog supply for the DAC8534 is +5 V, (labeled as +5 VA). 1 - 2 DAC output A (V A) is routed to J4 - 2. OPEN H is not routed to the inverting input of the op amp for voltage offset with gain of 2 output.
  • Page 21: Evm Stacking

    EVM Stacking 3.3 EVM Stacking EVM stacking is possible if there is a need to evaluate two DAC8534 devices in yielding a total of eight channel outputs. A maximum of two EVMs are allowed, since the output terminal J4 dictates the number of DAC channels that can be connected without colliding.
  • Page 22: Unity Gain Output

    Unity Gain Output The buffered output configuration can be used to prevent loading the DAC8534, although it may present some slight distortion because of the feedback resistor and capacitor. Users can tailor the feedback circuit to closely match their desired wave shape by simply desoldering R7 and C11, and replacing them with the desired values.
