Figure 3. Typical Evaluation Board Setup
DIGITAL INPUT AND OUTPUTS
SDP Connector
The J5 connector interfaces to the SDP adapter that connects
to a Windows-based PC. A detailed description of the SDP
adapter is found in the
user guide.
All internal registers and control functions of the ADAR1000-
EVALZ are driven from the PC using the ADAR1000-EVALZ
evaluation software.
Daisy-Chain Interface Connectors
The 20-pin connectors (P1 and P2) also carry the digital signals
for controlling the
. The two connectors have
identical pinouts and the connectors daisy-chain up to four
ADAR1000-EVALZ boards controlled through a single USB
interface. All signals on these connectors except Pin 15 operate
at 3.3 V logic levels, and these signals pass through 3.3 V to 1.8 V
logic translators before connecting to the digital pins on the
, which operate at 1.8 V logic levels. The serial data
output (SDO) pin from each
, with the 1.8 V logic
levels, can be tied together through the daisy chain (Pin 15 on
P1 and P2) by installing a 0 Ω resistor jumper (R36). The pinout
of P1 and P2 is shown in Table 3.
The TR, TX_LOAD, RX_LOAD, and PA_ON pins on the
are also controlled by software via general-purpose
input output (GPIO) lines on the SDP connector and 3.3 V to
1.8 V level shifters.

Device Interface with 1.8 V Logic Levels
Logic signals on the
are brought to an optional
connector, P6, to allow direct interface to the device using 1.8 V
logic signals. To operate in this mode, the logic level translators
(U2, U4, and U5) must be disabled using the J4, J5, J7, and J9
jumpers. The pinout for connector P6 is shown in Table 4.
