MAX5888 Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
ꢀ Quick Dynamic Performance Evaluation
ꢀ LVDS Compatible
The MAX5888 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that contains all the compo-
nents necessary to evaluate the performance of the
MAX5888 16-bit, 500Msps, current-output, digital-to-
analog converter (DAC). The EV kit requires low-voltage
differential-signaling (LVDS)-compatible data input, a
single-ended clock input, and 3.3V power supplies for
simple board operation.
ꢀ SMA Coaxial Connectors for Clock Input and
Analog Output
ꢀ 50 Matched Clock Input and Analog Output
Signal Lines
The MAX5888 EV kit may also be used to evaluate the
MAX5887 (14-bit) and MAX5886 (12-bit) DACs.
