EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
The ADL6316 on the ADL6316-EVALZ evaluation board and
the SDP-S controller board are configured with a USB friendly
interface to allow programmability of the ADL6316 registers.
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION
The Analysis | Control | Evaluation ( ACE ) software is required
to program and control the ADL6316 and the ADL6316-EVALZ
evaluation board.
The ACE software suite allows bit control of the ADL6316 register
map via the SPI, and communicates to the SDP-S controller board
via the USB connection. The SDP-S controller board configures
the SPI lines (CS, SDI, SDO, and SCLK) accordingly to commu-
nicate to the
ADL6316 .
