Isolated interface development environment
13 June 2012
Design Automation
Analog Devices introduced the ezLINX iCoupler isolated interface development environment. The plug-and-play system reduces development time by enabling the evaluation of eight physical layer, digitally-isolated communication standards simultaneously (USB, RS-422, RS-485, RS-232, CAN, two x SPI, I²C and LVDS).
The environment was developed to assist embedded designers and system architects in designing and evaluating isolated communication interfaces using AD’s isolated interface transceivers with integrated iCoupler and isoPower digital isolation technology. The development environment also integrates an additional expansion port for added functionality and scalability.
The ezLINX iCoupler isolated interface development environment is designed for engineers working in industrial automation, energy delivery, medical systems and other applications, who need to better evaluate system-level tradeoffs in critical, isolated communications networks. Designers and system architects can quickly benefit from the easy-to-access, open-source hardware and software which is based on AD’s proven ADSP-BF548 Blackfin processor core running a uCLinux kernel.
The development environment also includes onboard sample application software, which allows for direct monitoring of the bus traffic and helps designers make a quick ‘box-to-bench’ transition.
