1 Analog Evaluation System Driver Board
The MXDEV 1 Analog Evaluation System gives system
designers the ability to control Microchip stand-alone
analog devices, acquire data and then analyze the data
using strip-charts, histograms and Fast Fourier
Transforms (FFTs). User-friendly data analysis
software is included with the device-specific daughter
boards.

software is included with the device-specific daughter

The evaluation system consists of two parts: a driver
board, which performs the data analysis and connects
to a PC for subsequent analysis and display and a
daughter board, which plugs into the driver board and
contains the device to be evaluated. Device-specific
software is included.

software is included.
In addition to the ability of the driver board to work with
device-specific daughter boards, users can create their
own daughter boards based on their own design
requirements. In addition, a prototype area on the
driver board is available for user-designed circuits that
could be used in place of the daughter boards.

sockets (28-pin, 18-pin and 8-pin), so that users can
choose the PICmicro MCU most suited to their
application. It also includes an LCD display, an LED
display socket, SRAM for data storage and an RS-232
interface. The LCD display can display information,
such as configuration data and acquisition data from
the daughter board.
