DAC63204EVM User's Guide
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
(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.
