CTU Adapter

For demonstration, test and development purposes, it is convenient to communicate with CTU chips using a PC.  The CTU Adapter converts between the SPI interface of CTU chips and the USB interface of a PC.  The Adapter is an SPI master and the CTU is an SPI slave.

Features

• USB powered
• Selectable CTU power supply: 2.7V, 3.3V or 3.6V
• Adapter firmware can be updated in the field
• Full speed USB operation
• Interface DLL available for software developers
• Compact, rugged, metal housing
• Supplied with USB and SPI cables

 Performance

• 100 SPI write/reads per second (typical PC)
• 1Mbit/s SPI clock rate
• SPI timings compatible with CTU chips
• 100mA max power supply output current

 Applications

• Connecting CTU chips to a PC for demos and test
• Developing CTU chip applications
• PC based measurement systems

A CTU Development Kit is also available, and includes the CTU Adapter together with CTU Development Board, sensors and targets.  This is recommended for getting started.
