MAX5217EVKIT:Evaluation Kit for the MAX5215, MAX5217, and MAX5217B

The MAX5217 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the MAX5217, 16-bit, single-channel, low-power, buffered voltage-output DAC. The IC comes in an 8-pin µMAX® package. The EV kit provides controls to change the DAC output and power operations. The DAC IC is controlled by an on-board MAXQ® microcontroller that provides an I²C interface. The EV kit features Windows XP®-, Windows Vista®-, and Windows® 7-compatible software that provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for exercising the features of the device. The EV kit comes with the MAX5217GUA+ (16-bit, ±4 LSB INL (max)) installed. Contact the factory for samples of the pin-compatible MAX5215GUA+ (14-bit, ±1 LSB INL (max)) and MAX5217BGUA+ (16-bit, ±8 LSB INL (max)) versions.
