GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This user guide describes the evaluation board hardware and soft-
ware used to evaluate the
in SOIC
and LFCSP packages. The
evaluation boards allow the quick demonstration and evaluation
of the
zero-drift, digitally program-
mable sensor signal amplifiers.
are auto-zero instrumentation
amplifiers with programmable gain and output offset
adjustment features. The evaluation board enables a PC to
communicate with the
. The user can
send commands to the evaluation board and read back the
programmed values for the device that is being evaluated.
This user guide supplements the information in the
data sheets, which should be consulted
in conjunction with this user guide when working with the
evaluation board.
