TEST CIRCUITS

The
EVAL-AD5165DBZ
several test circuits to evaluate the performance of the AD5165.
DAC
The RDAC can be operated as a digital-to-analog converter
(DAC), as shown in Figure 2.

However, by using the R34 and R35 external resistors, you can
reduce the voltage of the voltage references. In this case, use the
A1 and B1 test points to measure the voltage applied to the A and
B terminals and recalculate V
AC Signal Attenuation
The RDAC can be used to attenuate an ac signal, which must be
provided externally using the AC_INPUT connector, as shown
in Figure 3.

Depending on the voltage supply rails and the dc offset voltage
of the ac signal, various configurations can be used, as described
in Table 3.
