2.2 EVM Performance
EVM performance is tested using a high-density DAC bench test board, an
Agilent 3458A digital multimeter, and a PC running National Instruments
LABVIEW software. The EVM board is tested for all codes of the device under
test (DUT) and is allowed to settle for 1 ms before the meter is read. This
process is repeated for all codes to generate the measurements for INL and
DNL.
The parameters and results of the DAC EVM characterization test for the
DAC7574 are shown in Figures 2-8 through 2-12. Test parameters and
results for the DAC8571 are shown in Figures 2-13 and 2-14.
The characterization-test data for the DAC7571, DAC6574, DAC6571,
DAC5574, and DAC5571 are not shown; it is assumed that their performance
is comparable to or better than that of the DAC7574 EVM.
