The EV kit is delivered fully assembled, tested, and
sealed in an antistatic bag. To ensure proper operation,
open the antistatic bag only at a static-safe work area
and follow the instructions listed below. Do not turn on
the power supplies until all power connections to
the EV kit are established. Figure 1 shows a typical
evaluation setup for single-ended output operation:
1) Connect a -5V power supply to the pad marked
2) Connect a 3V power supply to the pad marked
3) Connect a 5V power supply to the pad marked
4) Connect a 3V power supply to the pad marked
5) Verify that a shunt is connected across jumper
6) Connect a word or pattern generator (e.g.,
7) Connect an appropriate low-phase-noise clock
8) Verify that shunts are connected across pins 2 and
9) Connect an oscilloscope or a spectrum analyzer
10) Ensure jumpers JU13, JU14, JU15 are configured
11) Turn on the supplies and signal sources.
The MAX5183 EV kit board includes high-frequency
SMA connectors and 2-pin headers JU1–JU12 for the
digital data, clock, and control-line inputs (D0–D9, CS,
CLK). Each of these matched-impedance signal lines
provides on-board series 50Ω termination resistors

located in the signal path of the digital inputs to DGND.
Optionally, 50Ω termination resistors to DGND may be
installed by the user.
The MAX5180/MAX5182/MAX5186/MAX5188 current-
output DACs are designed to supply full-scale output
currents of 1mA into 400Ω loads, in parallel with a
capacitive load of 5pF. The MAX5183/MAX5185/
MAX5189/MAX5191 voltage-output DACs have on-chip
400Ω resistors that restore the array currents to propor-
tional, differential voltages of ±400mV full scale. These
differential output voltages are then used to drive a
transformer or a low-distortion, high-speed operational
amplifier (such as the MAX4108 devices and transform-
ers supplied in the EV kit, Figure 2) to convert the differ-
ential voltage into a single-ended voltage.
The single-ended outputs may be derived from ampli-
fiers outputs VOUT1A and VOUT2A or from transform-
ers outputs VOUT1 and VOUT2 (Tables 3, 4).
The MAX5183 EV kit is shipped with the necessary
external circuitry to operate the installed MAX5183 volt-
age-output DAC. The full-scale output current-set resis-
tor (R37) and the 402Ω conversion resistors (R25–R28)
are not required for any of the voltage-output DACs and
are therefore not installed on the MAX5183 EV kit.
