GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This user guide describes the EVA L-SDP-CS1Z system
demonstration platform-serial (SDP-S) controller board from
Analog Devices, Inc. The SDP-S controller board is part of the
Analog Devices system demonstration platform (SDP). The
SDP consists of a series of controller boards, interposer boards,
and daughter boards. SDP controller boards provide a means
of communicating with the system under evaluation from the
PC. Interposer boards route signals between two connectors.
Daughter boards are a collection of product evaluation boards
and Circuits from the Lab™ reference circuit boards. The SDP-S
is used as part of the evaluation system for many Analog Devices
components and reference circuits. The primary audience for
this user guide is the system engineer who seeks to understand

how to set up the SDP-S board and begin USB communications
to the PC.

The SDP-S board is designed to be used in conjunction with
various Analog Devices component evaluation boards and
Circuits from the Lab reference circuits as part of a customer
evaluation environment. The SDP-S provides USB connectivity
through a USB 2.0 high speed connection to the computer,
allowing users to evaluate components on this platform from a
PC application. The SDP-S is based on a USB-to-serial engine,
which has SPI, I
small footprint connector.

This user guide provides instructions for installing the SDP-S
hardware (EVAL-SDP-CS1Z board) and software onto a
computer. The necessary installation files are provided with the
evaluation daughter board package. The Getting Started section
provides software and hardware installation procedures, PC
system requirements, and basic board information. The Evaluation
Board Hardware section provides information on the EVAL­SDP-CS1Z components. The EVAL-SDP-CS1Z schematics are
provided in the Evaluation Board Schematics section.

For more information about the SDP-S board, go to

GETTING STARTED

This section provides specific information to assist with using
the SDP-S board as part of the user’s evaluation system.

The following topics are covered:

• PC configuration

• USB installation

• Powering up/powering down the SDP-S

PC CONFIGURATION

For correct operation of the SDP board, the user’s computer
must have the following minimum configuration:

• Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista®

• USB 2.0 port

When removing the SDP-S board from the package, handle the
board carefully to avoid the discharge of static electricity, which
can damage some components.

USB INSTALLATION

Perform the following tasks to safely install the SDP-S board
onto the computer. There are two stages in the software
application installation procedure. The first stage installs the
application software. The second stage installs the .NET
Framework 3.5 and the necessary drivers.

Installing the Software

1. Run the application installation file provided. The first

stage installs the application GUI and the necessary
support files onto the computer.

2. Immediately following the application installation, the

.NET Framework 3.5 and the driver package for the SDP
board are installed. If the .NET Framework 3.5 is already
preinstalled on the computer, this stage is skipped and
Step 2 consists of a driver package installation only.

Connecting the SDP-S Board to the PC

Attach the SDP-S board to a USB 2.0 port on the computer via
the Standard-A-to-Mini-B cable provided.

Verifying Driver Installation

Before using the SDP-S board, verify the driver software has
installed properly.

Open the Windows Device Manager and verify the SDP-S
board appears under ADI Development Tools, as shown in
Figure 2.

POWERING UP/POWERING DOWN THE SDP-S

The following sections describe how to safely power up and
power down the SDP-S.

Powering Up the SDP-S Board

1. Connect the SDP-S board to the daughter evaluation board

through the 120-pin mating connector.

2. Power up the daughter board.

3. Connect the USB port on the computer to the SDP-S board.

Powering Down the SDP-S Board

1. Disconnect the USB port on the computer from the

SDP-S board.

2. Power down the daughter evaluation board.

3. Disconnect the SDP-S board from the daughter

evaluation board.

LEDS

There are two LEDs located on the SDP-S board (see Figure 3).

Power LED (PWR)

The green power LED indicates that the SDP-S board is
powered. This is not an indication of USB connectivity between
the SDP-S and the PC.

LED1

The orange LED is an LED used as a diagnostic tool for
evaluation application developers.

CONNECTOR DETAILS

The SDP-S board contains one Hirose FX8-120P-SV1(91),
120-pin header connector. Through this connector, the
peripheral communication interfaces of the USB-to-serial
engine are exposed. The exposed peripherals are

• SPI

2

• I

C/TWI

• GPIO

Also included on the connector specification are input and out­put power pins, ground pins, and pins reserved for future use.

Connector Pin Assignments

Tabl e 1 lists the connector pins and identifies the functionality
assigned to each connector pin on the SDP-S board.

The pinout of this connector is consistent with other connectors
across the SDP family.
