ATA6831/ATA6832 Driver ICs
2.
Design Kit
The design kit includes the following components:
• Application board ATA6831-DK
• Design software
• Link cable to PC 25-lead 1:1
• Application note
• Datasheet ATA6831 and ATA6832
3.
Description
The core of the ATA6831-DK design kit is a PC-controlled application board. Using the ATA6831
design kit, users can easily adapt their loads via row connector pins (refer to ATA6831). The
design software interface controls the design kit. The PWM input clamp allows to modulate the
pace signal.
