1.1 Introduction

The multi-functional GPIO, function generation, and nonvolatile memory (NVM) enable these smart AFEs for use in applications and design reuse without the need for runtime software. These devices also automatically detect I2C, SPI, and PMBus interfaces, and contain an internal reference.

This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the AFE532A3WEVM evaluation module (EVM). This EVM is designed to evaluate the performance of the AFE532A3W and AFE432A3W commercial, buffered current and voltage output DACs in a variety of configurations. Throughout this document, all these devices are referred to as the AFEx32A3W, and the terms evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the AFE532A3WEVM. This document includes a schematic, printed-circuit board (PCB) layouts, and a complete bill of materials (BOM).
