1.0 Overview
The AnadigmApex development board is an easy-to-use platform designed to help you get started with
implementing and testing your analog designs on the AnadigmApex dpASP silicon devices.
While the device on this development platform is an AN231E04 device, you can use this board to implement all
of your AN131E04 and AN231E04 designs. The design software - AnadigmDesigner
®
2 – can use the
AN231E04 device on board to emulate the AN131E04 device thus enabling instant prototyping of your design
for either device in the AnadigmApex device family.
This manual provides an overview on how to effectively use this board to implement your analog design. But
first, here are some salient features of the AnadigmApex development board:
Features new with this revision of Development Kit board
Board footprint
–
4.8 x 3.8
inches.
Standard USB serial interface for downloading AnadigmDesigner
®
2 circuit files.
Ability to store configurations in to onboard non-volatile memory.
Ability to store configurations in the onboard Microcontroller. Utilises Microchip PIC FLASH,
once stored this configuration can be used as the Boot circuit.
Ability to write to and then boot from EEPROM
, (external EEPROM is not supplied, empty socket is
onboard
).
Existing Feature (also on older boards)
Small
footprint.
Large breadboard area around the AN231E04 device.
Header pins for all the dpASP device analog I/Os.
Ability to separate, electrically and physically, the digital section.
Two circuit footprints for configuration as Rauch filters, single to diff converters, level shifters etc.
Daisy chain capability – that allows multiple boards to be connected to evaluate multi-chip systems.
Standard PC serial interface for downloading AnadigmDesigner
®
2 circuit files.
On-board 16-MHz oscillator module.
