Product Details

The EVAL-ADATE318BCPZ is a full-featured evaluation board designed to allow the user to simply evaluate all features of the ADATE318 dual-integrated driver, comparator, and active load (DCL) with a per pin parametric measurement unit (PPMU). The EVAL-ADATE318BCPZ features breakout connections through the Subminiature Version A (SMA) terminals for all of the signal inputs and outputs. The differential pairs are provided with 50 Ω-controlled impedance traces with equal lengths.

The EVAL-ADATE318BCPZ only takes in +21 V and −10 V supplies, and the on-board regulators provide the required device supplies. The EVAL-ADATE318BCPZ can be controlled through the on-board connectors or through the USB port of a Windows-based PC using the ADATE318 Evaluation Board Software. The default setup is for control through the USB port. Communication with the ADATE318 Evaluation Board Software is through the USB, and the light emitting diode (LED) indicators on the EVAL-ADATE318BCPZ provide displays for the read and write data.

The ADATE318 data sheet provides full details on all the functionalities of the ADATE318 device, as well as the information on each of the registers within the ADATE318, and must be consulted when using the EVAL-ADATE318BCPZ. All documents and software tools are available on the ADATE318 product page.
