ADI AD917x API Specification Rev 1.1

About this manual

This document provides a programmer’s reference for using the ADI High Speed Converters DAC Application Program Interface (API) library for the AD917x family of DACs. It describes the software architecture, folder structure, API interfaces, enumerations, data structures, and functions for initializing, configuring, and controlling the AD917x devices. The library acts as an abstraction layer between the application and the hardware, allowing developers to configure the DAC without low-level register access. The document includes detailed API reference, handle structure, and integration guidelines for use in applications.
