Analog Devices Inc. DS2488 Evaluation Kit (DS2488EVKIT)
Analog Devices DS2488 Evaluation Kit (DS2488EVKIT) provides a hardware and software platform to demonstrate the features of the DS2488 1-Wire Dual-Port Link. The DS2488 is a simple bridge device designed to facilitate communication between two microcontroller-based subsystems. The DS2488, with a single dedicated contact on each side of the bridge, enables up to 512kbps pass-through communication, power delivery for battery charging, small message exchange, and state reporting.The Analog Devices DS2488 Evaluation Kit consists of a DS2488EV Board, which includes two DS2488 devices, and a DS9401EV 1-Wire Master Board with 5V charging. When connected to a PC via USB and the DS2488EVKIT software, The DS2488EV and DS9401EV Boards provide a usage example of True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds and the microcontroller-operated case that holds and charges the earbuds.
Using the software with the DS2488 Evaluation Kit, the following usage flows can be demonstrated:
- Detect Earbuds: does a 1-wire search for ROM ID to determine which earbuds are connected to the charge box
- IOA Low/Dead Battery: set IOA to logic-low to simulate a dead battery or to pass a token to IOB
- Send Message: uses the UART to send a message between the charge box and the earbuds
- Write PIOA Level: uses 1-wire commands to set the PIOA level
- Set PIOB Level: uses 1-wire commands to set the PIOB level
- Read PIO Levels: uses 1-wire commands to read the levels of the PIO pin
- Write Buffer: writes specified hex data to an 8-byte buffer
- Read Buffer: reads written data in an 8-byte buffer
