GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EVAL-ADuM4138EBZ evaluation board demonstrates the
advanced features of the
ADuM4138
while maintaining flexibility
in a testing environment. The EVAL-ADuM4138EBZ evaluation
board layout delivers a circuit that is easy to manipulate via jumper
pins. A more optimized layout is possible, which increases the
performance of the system as a whole.
The evaluation board works with the
USB-SDP-CABLEZ
programming cable to access the secondary side electronically
erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), and
also includes the option to drive the serial peripheral interface
(SPI) bus with any other SPI compatible system. The
USB-SDP-
CABLEZ
operates with a 3.3 V logic supply, while the
ADuM4138
has an internal 5 V regulator. To allow for interfacing, a resistor
divider on the MISO line is included in R21 and R22.
This user guide demonstrates how to use the included
ADuM4138
evaluation software for accessing the user trim bits. This user
guide shows how to simulate EEPROM settings, as well as
program bits into nonvolatile memory.
