A versatile and easy-to-use tool!
This Analog Evaluation System gives system designers the ability to control
Microchip stand-alone analog devices, acquire data and then analyze the data
using stripcharts, histograms and Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs). User-friendly
data analysis software is included with the device-specific Daughter Boards.
The evaluation system consists of two parts: a Driver Board, which performs the
data analysis and connects to a PC for subsequent analysis and display; and a
Daughter Board, which plugs into the Driver Board and contains the device to be
evaluated. Device-specific software is included.
In addition to the ability of the Driver Board to work with device-specific
Daughter Boards, users can create their own daughter boards based on their
own design requirements. Also, there is a prototype area on the Driver Board for
user-designed circuits that could be used in place of the Daughter Boards.
The Daughter Boards include the device under evaluation and associated
interface circuitry. It may also include components for signal stimulus and
connectors for an external signal. On the DV3204A Daughter Board, for
example, choices include selection of the ADC input channel, the ADC reference
voltage source and the routing of the signal through buffers and/or filters.
Daughter Boards are currently available for the following products:
MCP32001/01, MCP3004/08, MCP3201/02 and MCP3204/08.
Additions to this Analog Evaluation System will be released to coincide with new
product introductions.
MXDEV™1
Analog Evaluation System
Features:
•Allows single or continuous
conversions for the ADC under
evaluation
•Data can be acquired in real time
mode (max sample rate about
200 sps) or acquisition mode
(max sample rate of 50 ksps)
•Displays data in a variety of formats;
real time numeric, real time stripchart,
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), histogram,
oscilloscope plot, data list, etc.
•FFT display allows a variety of
windowing options: Blackman,
Blackman-Harris, Hamming, Hanning
and Rectangular
•Selectable input signal source:
on-board potentiometer or external
•Selectable trigger: internal or external
•Low-pass filter modules can be
inserted into the signal chain for
further flexibility
•Prototype area for addition of user-
defined circuitry
•Complete documentation, User's
Guides and CD-ROM
System Description:
The Driver Board allows the user to develop with the PICmicro®microcontroller
(MCU) most suited to their application. The Driver Board includes SRAM for data
storage, an RS-232 interface and an LCD for displaying configuration data and
acquisition data.
The DV3001A, DV3004A, DV3201A and DV3204A Daughter Boards support
evaluation of the MCP3001/01, MCP3004/08, MCP3201/02 and MCP3204/08,
respectively. The Daughter Board ships with a PIC16C63 which contains device-
specific code and plugs into a socket on the Driver Board. In addition to device
specific software, application notes are available that show how to interface the
PICmicro MCUs with the ADC.
The Daughter Board includes jumper-selectable options for maximum flexibility.
Choices include: selection of the signal source between the on-board
potentiometer and an external source; selection of the reference voltage between
the on-board VREF and an external source; and selection between single-ended
and pseudo-differential inputs (depending on the device being evaluated). A
prototype area on the daughter board allows for additional circuitry.
