The Serial-Bus-EVM is a data acquisition system that allows you to both prototype and communicate with
simple digital and mixed-signal circuits. The EVM consists of two primary components: the USB DIG
Platform and the Interface Test Board. The USB DIG Platform interfaces with a connected PC and
generates the I
2
C, SPI, and general-purpose digital I/O data. This document gives a brief overview of the
USB DIG Platform. For a detailed description of the USB DIG Platform, see the USB DIG Platform User
Guide, available for download as a separate document from the Texas Instruments web site at
http://www.ti.com . The Interface Test Board plugs into the USB DIG Platform and allows a prototyped
circuit to be connected to the digital resources. Note that the Serial-Bus/USB-DIG-EVM Quick-Start Video
(available as a separate download ) provides a video tutorial that accompanies this EVM and user guide.
This video gives detailed hardware and software examples for the Script Editor. It is highly recommended
that users watch this video before starting to work with the Serial-Bus EVM. Additional support documents
are listed in the section of this guide entitled Related Documentation from Texas Instruments .
Throughout this document, the abbreviation EVM and the term evaluation module are synonymous with
the Serial-Bus-EVM.
Figure 1 shows the hardware included with the Serial-Bus-EVM kit. Contact the factory if any component
is missing. It is highly recommended that you check the TI web site at http://www.ti.com to verify that you
have the latest version of the software. It is also recommended that you watch the Quick-Start Video
(available for download from the TI web site ) before using the Serial-Bus-EVM.
