Analog Devices ADuM4138 | Demoboard EVAL-ADuM4138EBZ

Description

The EVAL-ADuM4138EBZ evaluation board demonstrates the advanced features of the ADuM4138 while maintaining flexibility in a testing environment. The EVAL-ADuM4138EBZ evaluation board layout delivers a circuit that is easy to manipulate via jumper pins. A more optimized layout is possible, which increases the performance of the system as a whole.The evaluation board works with the USB-SDP-CABLEZ programming cable to access the secondary side electronically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), and also includes the option to drive the serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus with any other SPI compatible system. The USB-SDPCABLEZ operates with a 3.3 V logic supply, while the ADuM4138 has an internal 5 V regulator. To allow for interfacing, a resistor divider on the MISO line is included in R21 and R22. This user guide demonstrates how to use the included ADuM4138 evaluation software for accessing the user trim bits. This user guide shows how to simulate EEPROM settings, as well as program bits into nonvolatile memory.
