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 CTU Adapter is an SPI master and the CTU is an SPI slave.

The Streaming Adapter is recommended in place of the CTU Adapter for new designs.  When connected to a PC's USB port, it allows the PC to run CambridgeIC's latest CTU Streaming Demo software.

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
  • The CTU Adapter is compatible with all CambridgeIC Development Boards.

Applications

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

 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
