DAC121S101-SEP Evaluation Module
Description
The
DAC121S101SEPEVM
platform to evaluate the functionality and
performance of the
DAC121S101-SEP
DAC121S101SEPEVM has optional circuits and
jumpers to configure the device for different
applications.
The DAC121S101-SEP device is a full-featured,
general-purpose, 12-bit voltage-output digital-to-
analog converter (DAC) that can operate from a single
2.7V to 5.5V supply and consumes just 177µA of
current at 3.6V.
Get Started
1. Order the DAC121S101SEPEVM.
2. Configure EVM jumpers.
3. Install the DAC121S101SEPEVM GUI from the
DAC121S101SEPEVM tool

    The EVM is intended to provide basic functional evaluation of the device. The layout is not intended to be a model for the target circuit, nor laid out for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing. The EVM consists of a printed-circuit board (PCB), which has the DAC121S101-SEP installed. 1.4 Device Information The DAC121S101 device is a full-featured, general-purpose, 12-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog (DAC) that can operate from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and consumes just 177µA of current.

    USB 5V supply. These 1.8V and 3.3V supplies are used to power the FTDI controller. The DAC121S101-SEP VA has multiple supply options. By default, VA is connected to the USB-5V supply through jumpers J6 and J8. VA can be supplied by an external power supply through banana jack J4 by removing the shunt on J6 and connecting pins 1 and 2 on J8.
