EK92 - Evaluation Kit for the AIC1605 and AIC1638
The AIC1605 evaluation board can be used for evaluation of the Apex AIC1605 and the AIC1638.
The board is designed to let the user adjust the external circuit around the AIC1605 freely and measure its behavior for any given application.
Therefore, multiple selectable external components can be connected via jumpers with the AIC1605 simulating external loads or inputs.
To demonstrate the interface capabilities of the AIC1605, the AIC1638 is added to the evaluation board as an example of a sensing element which needs a high-voltage interface.
Combining these two ICs, a light barrier application can be created which can be connected via a 2-, 3- or 4-wire interface and features status LEDs.
FEATURES:
Power Section
• Adjusting the built-in buck converter or deactivating it
• Power source selection for the built-in 5V regulator
• Shunt resistor for measuring supply current and 2-wire operation demonstration
• Indicator LEDs for all power rails
• Selectable slow start network to compensate for slow supply voltage rise times
I/O Section
• Dummy loads are placed on the PCB for quick testing without connecting external loads or LEDs
• Removeable jumpers for measuring the output current of the on board or external loads
• Dummy input signals can be generated on board
Operational Amplifier Section
• Selectable dummy circuits for creating a square wave signal or hysteresis circuit using the built-in operational amplifiers
AIC1638 Photo Receiver Amplifier IC
• Exciter circuit which can be powered by an external or internal signal
• Jumpers for re-routing the output of the AIC1638 to the input of the AIC1605
• Cut-out for obstacle to trigger light barrier a
