AN231K04-DVLPx Development Kit board Small footprint Board – 4.8 x 3.8 inches. Serial or USB serial interface for downloading AnadigmDesigner®2 circuit files. Ability to store configurations in to onboard non-volatile memory and in the onboard Microcontroller. Utilises Microchip PIC FLASH, once stored this configuration can be used as the Boot circuit. Ability to write to and then boot from EEPROM, (external EEPROM is not supplied, empty socket is onboard). Large breadboard area around the AN231E04 device. Header pins for all the dpASP device analog I/Os. Ability to separate, electrically and physically, the digital section. Two circuit footprints for configuration as Rauch filters, single to Differential converters, level shifters etc. Daisy chain capability – that allows multiple boards to be connected to evaluate multi-chip systems. Standard PC serial interface for downloading AnadigmDesigner®2 circuit files. On-board 16-MHz oscillator module.

Evaluation Board Lab

All recent Anadigm boards have a USB serial connection - used to connect the board to a PC running AnadigmDesigner2 thus enabling instant prototyping.

Anadigm has used two different serial port drivers (on different boards). Silicon Graphic IC UART and associated PC drivers Microchip PIC Embedded UART and Microsoft generic serial driver.Please read the documentation with your board to discover which driver to use/install and connect the board to you PC running AnadigmDesigner2


Test connection to make sure the board is working

To Test the board connection. Go to the Settings Menu, the

preferences.

Then the Port Tab

If you have successfully installed the driver and

connected a powered board to the PC you will see the

appropriate COM Port using the drop down


Test connection to make sure the board is working

To Test the board connection. Go to the target tab at the top of the screen and choose “display

board information”

If the board is connected and powered up correctly, you will see a message box similar to

that on the left which identifies the device type, ABK version

and board.

If you see some other message there may be some problem

such as a bad power connection or the serial cable might not be

connected


Set up the oscilloscope connection

Hook up two pairs of oscilloscope probes here at the output pairs, labeled O3N and O3P, Plus O4N

and O4P.

If you have limited Scope ability you can connect to O3P and O4P only

And hook up scope ground to the ‘gnd’ pin. Consider soldering in a wire or pin to attach the gnd

clip on to.


Set up the oscilloscope connection, alternate

You can now hook up the oscilloscope probes here at the output after

differential to single-ended coversion

If You enabled the negative 3.3volt supply

Close the switches to connect the signal

To the Output Amplifier.


Verify FPAA is producing a proper output

Step 1: Load the circuit from the class .zip package named

‘Class III test circuit2.ad2’

Can be downloaded from hereHttp://www.anadigm.com/_doc/Class III test circuit2.ad2

See next page to see what the parameter settings are (they are already set for you)



Sine wave Oscillator Parameter window

OscillatorSawSqr

Parameter window



Step 1:Click on the down arrow to download to the development

board and you should see a output like the trace below:

Output 1 will be a 80kHz sine wave. Zoom in time and Notice

the stair steps in the output: this stair Step is the 4000 KHz clock.

Output 2 will be a 40khz triangle(Sawtooth) wave

Step 2:Click on the Sim Button AnadigmDesigner2, inbuilt

function simulator will show the same results if all went well
