This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the DAC63004WCSP-EVM evaluation module (EVM). This EVM is designed to evaluate the performance of the DAC63004W and DAC53004W commercial, buffered voltage output DACs in a variety of configurations. The DAC63204W, DAC53204W, and DAC63202W are also supported by this EVM. Throughout this document, all these devices are referred to as the DACx3004W, and the terms evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the DAC63004WCSP-EVM. This document includes a schematic, printed-circuit board (PCB) layouts, and a complete bill of materials.

The DAC63004WCSP-EVM is an easy-to-use platform to evaluate the functionality and performance of the DAC63004W and DAC53004W commercial devices. The DAC63004WCSP-EVM has optional, nonpopulated components that can be used to evaluate the DACx3004W with external FemtoFET™ MOSFETs for high current source applications in a small, 4-mm × 4-mm solution size.
The 12-bit DAC63004W and 10-bit DAC53004W are a pin-compatible family of ultra-low power, quad-channel, buffered, voltage-output and current-output smart digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The DAC outputs are capable of both voltage and current output. The DACx3004W support Hi-Z power-down mode and Hi-Z output during power-off conditions. The DAC outputs provide a force-sense option for use as a programmable comparator and current sink. The multifunction GPIO, function generation, and nonvolatile memory (NVM) enable these smart DACs 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.
