Streaming Adapter

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

The Streaming Adapter is an SPI master and the CTU is an SPI slave.  Unlike CambridgeIC’s CTU Adapter, the Streaming Adapter captures measurements over SPI at the maximum rate possible for each IC.  It can efficiently stream results over USB, to make them available to software running on a connected PC.  Please Register and log in to download CTU Streaming Demo Software from the link below.

The Streaming Adapter is available with USB Cable and SPI Cable PN 013-6002 for use with CTU Development Boards including the CAM312 Development Board.  The part number is 013-7006.

The Streaming Adapter is also available as part of a bundle together with a CAM622 ABN Board and matching connectors, part 013-7007.  Please visit the CAM622 ABN Bundle page.
