GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This user guide describes the EVAL-SDP-CS1Z system

demonstration platform-serial (SDP-S) controller board from

Analog Devices, Inc. The SDP-S controller board is part of the

Analog Devices system demonstration platform (SDP). The

SDP consists of a series of controller boards, interposer boards,

and daughter boards. SDP controller boards provide a means

of communicating with the system under evaluation from the

PC. Interposer boards route signals between two connectors.

Daughter boards are a collection of product evaluation boards

and Circuits from the Lab™ reference circuit boards. The SDP-S

is used as part of the evaluation system for many Analog Devices

components and reference circuits. The primary audience for

this user guide is the system engineer who seeks to understand

how to set up the SDP-S board and begin USB communications

to the PC.

The SDP-S board is designed to be used in conjunction with

various Analog Devices component evaluation boards and

Circuits from the Lab reference circuits as part of a customer

evaluation environment. The SDP-S provides USB connectivity

through a USB 2.0 high speed connection to the computer,

allowing users to evaluate components on this platform from a

PC application. The SDP-S is based on a USB-to-serial engine,

small footprint connector.

This user guide provides instructions for installing the SDP-S

hardware (EVAL-SDP-CS1Z board) and software onto a

computer. The necessary installation files are provided with the

evaluation daughter board package. The Getting Started section

provides software and hardware installation procedures, PC

system requirements, and basic board information. The Evaluation

Board Hardware section provides information on the EVAL-

SDP-CS1Z components. The EVAL-SDP-CS1Z schematics are

provided in the Evaluation Board Schematics section.
