1.3.1 Voltage Limits

CAUTION

Exceeding the maximum input voltages can damage EVM components.

Undervoltage may cause improper operation of some or all of the EVM

components.

2 Software Installation

The DAC5668/88/89EVM comes with a software package that allows the user to configure the DAC and

CDCM7005 registers, save and load register settings to/from text files, and visualize the data path through

the DAC. Communication with the EVM is achieved through a USB port on the host PC. The DAC5668

and the DAC5688 shares the same EVM software since both DACs have internal PLL/VCO. The

DAC5689 has a stand-alone EVM software.

2.1 Minimum Requirements

Before installing the software, verify that the PC meets the following requirements:

• Microsoft Windows™ 2000 or later operating system

• 1024 × 768 screen resolution for optimal viewing

• USB 1.1 or later compatible input port

Other configurations may work; however, they remain untested.

2.2 Installing the EVM Control Software

Double-click the setup.exe file located on the installation CD. The EVM Installation Wizard opens.
