Introduction:
National Semiconductor's Data Conversion evaluation boards are designed to help ease the evaluation and design-in of National's A/D Converters and D/A Converters.
The A/D converter evaluation boards can be used in either of two modes. The first mode is the Manual or Stand Alone mode where the board can be used with suitable test equipment to evaluate the A/D converter's performance. The second mode is the Computer or Automatic mode. In this mode, evaluation is simplified by connecting the board to the WaveVision Digital Interface Board (see the Data Capture Board and Software columns to find the appropriate version to use), which is connected to a personal computer through a serial communication port.
The "PC Interface Board" in the D/A Converter table on that selection page is the WaveVision4 Data Capture Board, which can be used to drive the DAC from a PC through the use of the Wavevision4 software.
How to find the right evaluation board:
Select the type of A/D Converter or D/A Converter from the table above to find links to order an evaluation board or data capture board, download the users' guide, view product folders, and download the appropriate version of the WaveVision software.
