New evaluation modules provide low cost, easy-to-use design platforms

EVM Features

• Easy-to-use, low-cost platforms for device evaluation
• Available for a wide selection of devices
• Includes user guides and application reports
• Some kits offer modular daughter boards or easy connection to DSP Starter Kits
• Easy, toll-free ordering for all EVMs

Texas Instruments continues to expand its range of low cost, easy-to-use evaluation modules (EVMs), designed to quickly familiarize the user with the features and design benefits of TI mixed signal and analog ICs. Each kit includes applicable technical documentation on the device and board, as well as any available application reports and instruction on usage and connectivity.

One of the latest additions provides designers with an innovative way to evaluate audio power amplifiers using a Plug-n-Play base kit and individual, modular EVMs. The base kit includes an evaluation platform, two 3-W speakers, audio input cable, speaker wire and data manual.

Also recently introduced is an evaluation module for the TLC320AD75C analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog (ADA) converter. This EVM can be directly connected to an Audio Precision System 1 or Audio Precision System 2 through the optical Sony Philips Digital Interface (SPDIF) input and output ports.

For DSP users, the Analog Interface Circuit EVMs can be easily connected to TI’s DSP Starter Kits (DSKs). Both the TLC320AD55 and ‘AD56 EVMs will connect to the ‘C5x DSK, while the ‘AD50 EVM connects to the ‘C54x DSKplus. This provides a complete DSP solution evaluation system, from conversion to signal processing.

All of TI’s mixed-signal and analog EVMs can be ordered by calling (800) 477-8924, ext. 5800, from 7 AM - 6 PM, Mountain time, Monday through Friday. For the latest information on TI EVMs, see http://www.ti.com/sc/msp evms.
