Getting started with the EmStat Development Board
1
EmStat development board features
The EmStat-series are potentiostats with an embedded microcontroller. They provide all the major
potentiostatic techniques with automatic current ranging and peripheral control.
The EmStat development board contains the following features:
Figure 1- EmStat Development board features
Circuit protection
The following circuit protection mechanisms have been implemented in the dev. board:
▪
All digital IO's have over-voltage, reverse-voltage, over-current, and ESD protection.
▪
Analog IO's are buffered on-board for impedance isolation, over-voltage and reverse-voltage
protection, and ESD protection.
▪
Valid input supply range of 3-12VDC, with over-current and reverse-voltage protection, and a
reg5V supply for the EmStat to ensure correct operation and preventing damage.
Power options
The development board can be powered by:
▪
DC adaptor,
▪
screw terminals,
▪
via USB,
▪
or via the Arduino.
