Product Details

The DS3900H2 evaluation kit (EV kit) component provides bidirectional communication with I2C- and SPI-compatible devices using a PC’s USB port. In addition, the EV kit can also be used as a general-purpose digital I/O interface with 11 I/O signals that can evaluate a variety of ICs.
The DS3900H2 IC is a small form-factor module that requires appropriate headers to pass communication signals to the device under test. The IC is intended to interface with approved HID-compliant PC software designed by Maxim Integrated. The IC is intended for evaluation purposes only.

Applications

  • Building Test Software for Systems Containing 2-Wire or 3-Wire Devices
  • Communicating with ICs that Require up to 11 I/O Signals
  • Evaluating 2-Wire and 3-Wire Devices
  • Prototyping 2-Wire and 3-Wire Device Designs
