GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This user guide describes the EVAL-SDP-CS1Z system
demonstration platform-serial (SDP-S) controller board from
Analog Devices, Inc. The SDP-S controller board is part of the
Analog Devices system demonstration platform (SDP). The
SDP consists of a series of controller boards, interposer boards,
and daughter boards. SDP controller boards provide a means
of communicating with the system under evaluation from the
PC. Interposer boards route signals between two connectors.
Daughter boards are a collection of product evaluation boards
and Circuits from the Lab™ reference circuit boards. The SDP-S
is used as part of the evaluation system for many Analog Devices
components and reference circuits. The primary audience for
this user guide is the system engineer who seeks to understand
how to set up the SDP-S board and begin USB communications
to the PC.
The SDP-S board is designed to be used in conjunction with
various Analog Devices component evaluation boards and
Circuits from the Lab reference circuits as part of a customer
evaluation environment. The SDP-S provides USB connectivity
through a USB 2.0 high speed connection to the computer,
allowing users to evaluate components on this platform from a
PC application. The SDP-S is based on a USB-to-serial engine,
which has SPI, I²C, and GPIO lines available, with a 120-pin
small footprint connector.
This user guide provides instructions for installing the SDP-S
hardware (EVAL-SDP-CS1Z board) and software onto a
computer. The necessary installation files are provided with the
evaluation daughter board package. The Getting Started section
provides software and hardware installation procedures, PC
system requirements, and basic board information. The Evaluation
Board Hardware section provides information on the EVAL-
SDP-CS1Z components. The EVAL-SDP-CS1Z schematics are
provided in the Evaluation Board Schematics section.
