The MAXREFDES37# IO-Link® servo driver provides 5V power, four PWM outputs and four digital inputs for control of up to four 5V servo motors. IO-Link offers the ability to replace pneumatic actuators, and their compressed air lines, in industrial applications. With added level translation, the digital inputs allow for interfacing to binary position or status sensors. This design unveils a complet…

The MAXREFDES67# reference design is a complete universal analog input for industrial applications. This unique 24-bit front-end accepts bipolar voltage and current, resistance temperature detector (RTD) and thermocouple (TC) inputs. Built in Maxim Integrated’s ultra-small Micro PLC form factor, the MAXREFDES67# performs with an effective resolution up to 22.3 bits with temperature error as low a…

The 4–20mA current loop is widely used as an analog communication interface in industrial applications for transmitting the data from remote sensors to a programmable logic controller (PLC) in a central control center over a twisted pair cable. Here, 4mA represents the lowest temperature value, and 20mA represents the highest measured temperature.

The MAX3420E evaluation kit-2 (EV kit-2) provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX3420E USB peripheral controller with SPI™ interface. The EV kit-2 board is jumper-connected to an Atmel® ATtiny2313 microcontroller by default, but can also be connected to any SPI master.

The UMFT234XF is a development module that converts USB2.0 Full-Speed to UART. The module includes a micro-B USB connector to connect to a USB host and the UART IO are available on separate pads. The module is designed to be soldered directly to another PCB (PCB on PCB technology).

The Alcatraz (MAXREFDES34#) subsystem provides a reference design for securing Xilinx FPGAs to protect IP and prevent attached peripheral counterfeiting. The system implements a SHA-256 challenge-response between the FPGA and a DS28E15 secure authenticator. Boards for purchase, hardware, and firmware design files provide complete system information for rapid prototyping and development.

CY4603 is the development kit (DVK) for CYUSB3314-88LTXC, an advanced 88-QFN, 4-port USB 3.0 hub controller from Cypress. The hub controller supports Low-Speed (LS), Full-Speed (FS), Hi-Speed (HS) and SuperSpeed (SS) peripherals on all the four downstream ports. It supports status LEDs and individual power control for all the four downstream ports. It goes into suspend state to save power when th…

The TUSB546 USB Type-C™ Alternate Mode Redriver Switch Evaluation Module (TUSB546EVM) provides a USB Type-C Alternate Mode redriver switch that enables 5Gbps USB data and 8.1Gbps DisplayPort™ video over a USB Type-C downstream facing port (host) interface. The EVM features a two-chip solution with the TUSB546-DCI 5G USB Type-C linear redriver switch and the TPS65982 Type-C PD controller to provide better signal integrity for USB and video, as well as power delivery functionality.

The LC231X module is a low cost USB to UART bridge using FTDI’s FT231X to transfer data at up to 3M Baud. Ideal for programming Arduino Pro, ESP modules etc.. It also provides the pinout which follows the industry standard FTDI TTL cable interface. The module provides the UART interface with full modem handshaking control too.

The compact USB Type-C to DisplayPort adapter reference design, with USB Type-C connector and DisplayPort connector, exploits Alternate Mode of the USB Type-C and Power Delivery specifications to offer a comprehensive VESA® DisplayPort Standard interface.
