General Description

The MAX5258 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven

design to evaluate the MAX5258 low-power, 8-bit octal,

digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The EV kit also

patible software that provides a simple graphical user

interface (GUI) for exercising the features of the

MAX5258.

The MAX5258 EV kit PCB comes with a MAX5258EEE+

installed. This EV kit can also be used to evaluate the

MAX5259EEE+ low-power 8-bit octal DAC (2.7V to 3.6V).

Contact the factory for free samples of the

MAX5259EEE+.
