QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT 590B
USB SERIAL CONTROLLER FOR LINEAR TECHNOLOGY QUICKEVAL™ DEMO BOARDS
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 590B is a USB-based con-
troller with generic Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) and Inter Integrated Circuit (I²C™) ports. It is
designed to mate with Linear Technology’s family
of QuickEval™ demonstration boards. The demo
board is fully isolated from the host PC’s ground,
and in many cases no external power source is
required. The evaluation software automatically
detects which demo board is connected and loads
the appropriate control screen.
The QuickEval system provides a quick and easy
way to evaluate the performance of a wide variety
of Linear Technology’s products, including ADCs,
DACs, SMBus power control products, and many
others.
