Quick Start
Recommended equipment: · Three 3.3VDC power supplies · Function generator with low phase noise and low jitter for clock input (e.g., HP 8662A) · 16-bit digital pattern generator for LVDS data inputs (e.g., Agilent 81250) · Spectrum analyzer (e.g., Rohde & Schwartz FSEA30) · Voltmeter The MAX5888 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount board. Follow the steps below for board operation. Do not turn on power supplies or enable signal generators until all connections are completed: 1) Verify that no shunts are installed across jumpers JU1, JU2 (DAC uses the 1.2V internal voltage reference), and JU3 (DAC in normal operation mode). 2) Verify that a shunt is installed across jumper JU4. 3) Verify that no shunt is installed across jumper JU5. 4) S y n c h r o n i z e the digital pattern generator (HP 81250) to the clock function generator (HP 8662A). 5) Connect the clock function signal generator to the CLK SMA connectors on the EV kit. 6) Verify that the 16-bit digital pattern generator is programmed for LVDS outputs. 7) Connect the digital pattern generator output to the input header connectors J1 and J2 on the EV kit board. The input header pins are labeled for proper connection with the digital pattern generator (i.e., connect the positive rail of bit 0 to the header pin labeled B0P and complementary negative rail to the header pin labeled B0N, etc.).
8) Connect the spectrum analyzer to the OUT SMA connector. 9) Connect a 3.3V power supply to VDD_CK. Connect the ground terminal of this supply to GND_CK. 10) Connect a 3.3V power supply to DVDD. Connect the ground terminal of this supply to DGND. 11) Connect a 3.3V power supply to AVDD. Connect the ground terminal of this supply to AGND. 12) Turn on the three power supplies. 13) With a voltmeter verify that 1.2V is measured at the VREF PC board pad on the EV kit. 14) Enable the clock function generator and the digital pattern generator. Set the clock function generator output power to 10dBm and the frequency (fCLK) to less than or equal to 500MHz. 15) Use the spectrum analyzer to view the MAX5888 output spectrum or view the output waveform using an oscilloscope.
Detailed Description
The MAX5888 EV kit is designed to simplify the evaluation of the MAX5888 16-bit, 500Msps, current-output DAC. The MAX5888 requires LVDS-compatible data inputs, differential clock input signals, a 1.2V reference v o l t a g e , and 3.3V power supplies for simple board operation. The MAX5888 EV kit provides header connectors to easily interface with an LVDS pattern generator, circuitry to convert the differential current outputs to a singleended voltage signal, and circuitry to convert a users u p p l i e d single-ended clock signal to a differential clock signal required by the DAC. The EV kit circuit includes different options for supplying a reference voltage to the DAC. The EV kit circuit can operate with a single 3.3V power supply, but also supports the use of

three separate 3.3V power supplies by dividing the circ u i t grounds into digital, analog, and digital clock ground planes that improve dynamic performance. The three ground planes are connected together on the back of the PC board. The MAX5888 EV kit features three ways to provide a reference voltage to the DAC: internal, on-board external, and user-supplied external reference. Verify that no shunt is connected across jumper JU1 to use the internal reference. The reference voltage can be measured at the VREF pad on the EV kit. The EV kit circuit is designed with an on-board 1.25V temperature-stable external voltage reference source U2 (MAX6161) that can be used to overdrive the internal reference provided by the MAX5888. Install shunts across jumpers JU1 and JU2 to use the on-board external reference. The user can also supply an external voltage reference in the range of 0.125V to 1.25V by connecting a voltage s o u r c e to the VREF pad and removing the shunts across jumpers JU1 and JU2. See Table 1 to configure the shunts across jumpers JU1 and JU2 and select the source of the reference voltage.

Power Supplies
The MAX5888 EV kit can operate from a single 3.3V power supply connected to the VDD_CK, DVDD, AVDD input power pads and their respective ground pads for simple board operation. However, three separate 3.3V power supplies are recommended for optimum dynamic performance. The EV kit board layout is divided into three sections: digital, analog, and digital clock circuits. Using separate power supplies for each section reduces noise crosstalk and improves the integrity of the output signal. When using separate power supplies, connect each power supply across the DVDD and DGND PC board pads (digital), across the VDD_CK and GND_CK PC board pads (digital clock), and across the AVDD and AGND PC board pads (analog) on the EV kit.
Full-Scale Output Current
The MAX5888 requires an external resistor to set the full-scale output current. The MAX5888 EV kit full-scale current is set to 20mA with resistor R7. Replace resistor R7 to adjust the full-scale output current. Refer to the Reference Architecture and Operation section in the MAX5888 data sheet to select different values for R7.
LVDS Input Data
The MAX5888 EV kit provides two 0.1in 2 x 20 header connectors (J1 and J2) to interface a 16-bit LVDS pattern generator to the EV kit. The header data pins are labeled on the board with the appropriate data bit designation. Use the labels on the EV kit to match the data b i t s from the LVDS pattern generator to the corresponding data pins on J1 and J2. The positive rail of a bit is labeled BxP (positive) and the complementary rail is labeled BxN (negative) where x is the bit number.
Differential Output
The MAX5888 complementary current outputs are terminated into differential 50 resistance to generate voltage signals with amplitudes of 1VP-P differential. The positive and negative rails of the differential signal can be sampled at the OUT+ and OUT- probe connectors. The differential signal is converted into a 50 singled-ended signal with balun transformer T2 and can be sampled at the OUT SMA connector. A shunt on jumper JU4 connects the center tap of transformer T2 to AGND, thus enhancing the dynamic performance of the DAC. The single-ended output signal after the transformer generates a -3dBm full-scale output power when terminated into 50. A shunt on jumper JU4 should always be installed for optimum dynamic performance.
Clock Signal
The MAX5888 requires a differential clock input signal with minimal jitter. The EV kit circuit provides singleended to differential conversion circuitry. The user must supply a single-ended clock signal at the CLK SMA connector. The clock signal can be either a sine wave or a square wave. For a sine wave, 2VP-P (10dBm) amplitude is recommended and for a square wave greater than a 0.5VP-P signal is recommended.

Reference Voltage Options
The MAX5888 requires a reference voltage to set the full-scale analog signal voltage output. The DAC contains an internal stable on-chip bandgap reference of 1.2V that can be used by decoupling the REFIO pin. The internal reference can be overdriven by an external reference to enhance accuracy and drift performance or for gain control.
