EVALUATION BOARD DESCRIPTION
The EVAL-AD5422 is a full-featured evaluation board that is
designed to allow the user to easily evaluate all features of the
16-bit
AD5422
current source and voltage output digital-to-
analog converter (DAC). All of the
at on-board connectors for external connection. The board can
be controlled by two means, via the on-board connector (J8) or via
the USB port of a Windows® 2000-, NT®-, XP®-based PC using the
AD5422
evaluation software. The default setup is for control via
the USB port.
Two separate packages exist for the
40-lead LFCSP); therefore, two corresponding evaluation boards
are available.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The
AD5422
is a low cost, precision, fully integrated 16-bit
converter, offering a programmable current source and
programmable voltage output designed to meet the requirements
of industrial process control applications. The output current
range is programmable to 4 mA to 20 mA, 0 mA to 20 mA, or an
overrange function of 0 mA to 24 mA. The voltage output is
provided from a separate pin that can be configured to provide
0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, ±5 V or ±10 V output ranges; an overrange
of 10% is available for all ranges. Analog outputs are short- and
open-circuit protected and can drive capacitive loads of 1 μF. The
device is specified to operate with a power supply range from
10.8 V to 40 V. The output loop compliance is 0 V to AV
