The DAC121S101CVAL Design Kit populated with a ceramic sample is designed to ease evaluation and design-in of the National Semiconductor DAC121S101WGRQV 12-bit Micro-Power Digital-to-Analog Converters with Rail-to-Rail Output. The evaluation board can be used in either of two modes. In the Stand-Alone mode, suitable test equipment, such as a pattern generator and signal analyzer, can be used with the board to evaluate the DAC121S101 performance. In the Computer mode, data capture and evaluation is simplified by connecting this board to National Semiconductor's Data Capture Board (order number WAVEVSN BRD 4.0) with a custom interface cable (part number WV4DACIFCABLE at www.national.com). The Data Capture (WV4) Board is connected to a personal computer running WaveVision software through a USB port. The WaveVision4 software runs on Microsoft Windows, and the latest version can be downloaded from the web at http://www.national.com/adc
