Landungsbrücke Eval System
Landungsbrücke Eval System
The Most Advanced Motion Control Is As Easy As 1-2-3
Whatever your application, start your design easily using ADI Trinamic™ toolkits that shorten design cycles and improve product experience. Each evaluation kit gives you direct access to all registers using the ADI Trinamic software, allowing you to develop your own firmware.
Start with the Landungsbrücke
Depending on the kit of your choice, the Landungsbrücke or Startrampe interface board forms the bridge between your PC and ADI Trinamic powerful ICs.
Connect the Evaluation Board
Connect the preferred evaluation board with the interface board using the Eselsbrücke connector board. You can even link a few evaluation boards together!
Discover Powerful Technologies
Explore the full potential of ADI Trinamic solutions using the free TMCL-IDE software. This GUI allows for easy programming and features ready-to-use code libraries.
Open-Source Hardware Designs
All ADI Trinamic evaluation boards and breakout boards are proven, open-source designs, including the interface board. Simply download files for a quick design-in and your prototype will be ready in no time. Embedding the ADI Trinamic reference design in commercial products does not require you to disclose or open source your own design.
Free Graphical User Interface
The ADI Trinamic free and easy to use graphical user interface (GUI) is perfect for developing stand-alone TMCL™ applications. The flexible integrated development environment supports the use of commands in direct mode, monitors real-time behavior visualized in graphs, as well as logs and stores data. All settings can quickly be exported for your own firmware project.
Interface and Connector Boards
Each ADI Trinamic evaluation board needs a Landungsbrücke or Startrampe interface board and Eselsbrücke connector board. You can even combine multiple boards to copy your application’s setup, such as motion controller and motor driver boards, or add power stages. Once connected to your computer, the complete evaluation kit setup can easily be tested and tuned using the TMCL-IDE, the ADI Trinamic free and easy to use GUI.

Evaluation Boards
The ADI Trinamic modular evaluation system allows you to quickly discover the chip’s powerful feature set. For a simple start, you need the Landungsbrücke interface board and Eselsbrücke connector board. Hook it up to the TMCL-IDE and you’re ready to use commands in direct mode, monitor real-time behavior visualized in graphs, as well as log and store data. All settings can be integrated directly into your own firmware project.

Breakout Boards
Besides Evaluation Kits, most ADI Trinamic chips are also available as breakout boards (BOBs). These small PCBs contain everything needed for rapid prototyping and can be used on a breadboard or with flying wires, as all sensitive signals such as sense lines are routed on the BOBs themselves. Moreover, the BOBs are open-source, meaning you can copy the design and tweak it to your own specific needs.
