Evaluate: MAX5873/MAX5874/ MAX5873/MAX5874/MAX5875 MAX5875 Evaluation Kits General Description Features The MAX5873/MAX5874/MAX5875 evaluation kits (EV Fast Evaluation and Performance Testing kits) are fully assembled and tested circuit boards that CMOS-Compatible Inputs contain all the components necessary to evaluate the SMA Coaxial Connectors for Clock Input and Analog performance of the MAX5873 (12-bit), MAX5874 (14-bit), Outputs and MAX5875 (16-bit) dual digital-to-analog converters On-Board External 1.25V Reference Voltage (DACs). The 200Msps DACs integrate a 1.20V voltage reference and provide a differential current output. The 50 Matched Clock Input and Analog Output Signal EV kits operate with parallel CMOS-compatible digital Lines data inputs, a single-ended clock input, and require a Single-Ended-to-Differential Clock Signal Conversion 3.3V/1.8V dual-output power supply for simple board Circuitry operation. Each EV kit also contains an external 1.25V Differential Current to Single-Ended Voltage Output reference voltage that can be used to drive the input refer- Conversion Circuitry ence voltage pin of the DAC.
