1.1 Introduction

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and recommended use cases of the DAC8N-DGK-EVM. This document provides examples and instructions on how to use the DAC8N-DGK-EVM board and included software. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the DAC8N-DGK-EVM. This document also includes a schematic, reference printed circuit board (PCB) layouts, and a complete bill of materials (BOM).

The DAC8N-DGK-EVM is connected to a personal computer (PC) using the USB cable that is supplied with the EVM. The evaluation board features connectors and test points for all communication lines, DAC outputs, and supplies. Figure 1-1 shows a block diagram of the DAC8N-DGK-EVM.
