The EVAL-ADM3053EBZ allows for the simple evaluation of the ADM3053 signal and power isolated controller area network (CAN) transceivers. The evaluation board allows all of the input and output functions to be exercised without the need for external components.

The EVAL-ADM3053EBZ device employs Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler^® technology to combine a 2-channel isolator, a CAN transceiver, and an Analog Devices isoPower^® dc-to-dc converter into a single small outline IC (SOIC) surface-mount package. An on-chip oscillator outputs a pair of square waveforms that drive an internal transformer to provide isolated power. The device is powered by a single 5 V supply, realizing a fully isolated CAN solution.

The ADM3053 contains isoPower technology that uses high frequency switching elements to transfer power through the transformer. For layout guidelines, see the AN-0971 Application Note.

For full details, see the ADM3053 data sheet, which must be used in conjunction with UG-234 when using the evaluation board.

The ezLINX^™ iCoupler^® Isolated Interface Development Environment provides developers with a cost-effective, plug and play method for evaluation eight physical layer, digitally-isolated communication standards (USB, RS-422, RS-485, RS-232, CAN, SPI, I²C, and LVDS). The Blackfin^® ADSP-BF548 processor is used to run the uCLinux operating system and allows for easy customization through the open source hardware and software platform. Development time is significantly reduced for embedded designers and system architects who are designing and evaluating isolated communication standards. The interfaces on ezLINX use ADI's isolated transceivers with integrated iCoupler^® and isoPower^® digital isolator technology.

Based on the Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler^® technology, the ADM3053 and the ADM2582E integrate logic side, signal isolation channels with an Analog Devices isoPower^® dc-to-dc converter to provide regulated, isolated power. The EVAL-2LCANRS485EBZ evaluation board demonstrates best practices for layout on a 2-layer printed circuit board (PCB). This board has been tested according to EN 55032 and has passed Class A limits.

The EVAL-2LCANRS485EBZ, as shipped, is populated with the ADM3053 signal and power isolated transceiver for controller area network (CAN) and the ADM2582E signal and isolated transceiver for RS-485. The EVAL-2LCANRS485EBZ allows access to all of the input and output functions of both transceivers.

While the ADM3053 and the ADM2582E are not directly pin-compatible, the EVAL-2LCANRS485EBZ can be alternately populated with either two ADM3053 devices or two ADM2582E devices.

Full specifications on the ADM3053 and the ADM2582E can be found in the ADM3053 and the ADM2582E data sheets, available from Analog Devices, and must be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the EVAL-2LCANRS485EBZ.

The ADSP-CM40x mixed-signal control processor family is based on the ARM^®Cortex^®-M4 core and is designed for motor control and industrial applications. The ADSP-CM40x Evaluation Hardware provides a low cost hardware solution for evaluating the Analog Devices ADSP-CM40x mixed-signal control processor family, and consists of the ADSP-CM403F and ADSP-CM408F EZ-Boards^™, J-LINK LITE ARM debug probe from Segger and optional probing boards .

The ADSP-CM403F EZ-KIT Lite and ADSP-CM408F EZ-KIT Lite include all hardware necessary to immediately begin evaluation.

• The ADSP-CM403F EZ-Board™ (for evaluating ADSP-CM402F & ADSP-CM403F) and the ADSP-CM408F EZ-Board™ (for evaluating ADSP-CM407F & ADSP-CM408F).
• The J-LINK LITE ARM debug probe from Segger.

The ADSP-CM403F EZ-Board and the ADSP-CM408F EZ-Board can also be purchased separately, if a debug probe is already available to the customer.

The ADSP-CM40x Board Design Database contains all of the electronic information required for the design, layout, fabrication and assembly of the ADSP-CM40x EZ-Boards, and is available to download from the Products Download area on this page.

Two expansion connectors are available for connecting probing boards that extend the system’s evaluation capabilities:

• Analog 120-Pin Probing Board - The board provides probing points for any analog signal of the 120-pin expansion interface connector.
• PWM 180-Pin Probing Board - The board provides probing points for any PWM/digital signal of the 180-pin expansion interface connector.

The probing boards are available separately as daughter boards that plug onto the ADSP-CM403F or <adsp-cm408f<> EZ-Board^™ evaluation systems. Another expansion connector is provided for connecting an Anybus^® board and/or a memory/FPGA extender card. </adsp-cm408f<>

IAR Embedded Workbench is a complete high-performance C/C++ compiler and debugger toolchain that incorporates a compiler, an assembler, a linker and a debugger into one easy-to-use IDE. It is required for development and purchased directly from IAR Systems. Free evaluation versions are available for download.

The CM40x Enablement Software package provides C language programming environment and Application Programming Interface (API) supporting a quick and easy functional interface to the Analog’s ADSP-CM40x mixed-signal control processor family products. The API abstracts the low-level details of various peripherals (Controller Registers, DMA Engine and Interrupt Controller) into a simple, easy-to-use programming model. It comes in source form with various example programs to shorten your application’s time to market. Current and future versions of the software are available free of charge and always downloadable from here.

The software and documentation pack for the J-Link LITE ARM is available directly from Segger and requires entry of the serial number displayed on the back of the probe to activate it.

For applications that require use of the Ethernet or USB peripherals, the ADZS-CM40x family is supported by Micrium's uC/TCP-IP^™ and uC/USB Device^™ ARM M-Series solutions. Both of these items require use of uC/OS-III^® RTOS and all must be purchased directly from Micrium.
