QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT 572
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 572 features the LTC1592, a
16-bit current output DAC with five software-
selectable output ranges.
DC572 is a member of Linear Technology's
QuickEval™ family of demonstration boards. It is de-
signed to allow easy evaluation of the LTC1592 and
may be connected directly to the target application's
analog signals while using the DC590 USB Serial
Controller board and supplied software to measure
performance. The exposed ground planes allow
proper grounding to prototype circuitry. After evaluat-
ing with Linear Technology's software, the digital sig-
nals can be connected to the end application's proc-
essor / controller for development of the serial inter-
face.
Design files for this circuit board are available. Call
the LTC factory.
