GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EVAL-ADGS1612SDZ is the evaluation board for the
ADGS1612. The ADGS1612 is an iCMOS, quad single-pole,
single-throw (SPST) switch controlled by a serial peripheral
interface (SPI). The SPI has robust error detection features. These
are cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error detection, invalid read/
write address detection, and serial clock (SCLK) count error
detection. It is possible to daisy-chain multiple ADGS1612 devices
together. This enables the configuration of multiple devices with a
minimal amount of digital lines. The ADGS1612 also supports
burst mode that decreases the time between SPI commands.
Figure 1 shows the EVAL-ADGS1612SDZ in a typical evaluation
setup. The EVAL-ADGS1612SDZ is controlled by the system
demonstration platform (SDP) which connects to a PC via a USB
port. The ADGS1612 is on the center of the evaluation board and
wire screw terminals are provided to connect to each of the
source and drain pins. Three screw terminals power the device
and a fourth terminal provides users with a defined digital logic
supply voltage, if required. Alternatively, the digital logic supply
voltage can be supplied from the SDP.
Full specifications on the ADGS1612 are available in the
ADGS1612 data sheet available from Analog Devices, Inc., and
should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when
using the evaluation board.
The evaluation board interfaces to the USB port of a PC via the
SDP board. The EVAL-SDP-CB1Z board (SDP-B controller
board) is available to order on the Analog Devices website at
