Product Details
The MAX5858A evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested circuit board that contains all the components necessary for evaluating the MAX5858A. The MAX5858A is a dual,10-bit, 300Msps digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with 4x/2x/1x-configurable interpolation filters. The MAX5858A also features a phase-locked-loop (PLL) clock multiplier that generates and distributes all internally synchronized high-speed clock signals required by the input data latches, interpolation filters, and DAC cores. The EV kit requires CMOS-compatible data and clock inputs, and three separate 3V power supplies. The EV kit can also evaluate the MAX5858 (no PLL) and the 8-bit MAX5856A (with PLL).
