DDC Evaluation Platform
Features
The HSP50016-EV is the evaluation board for the
HSP50016 Digital Down Converter (DDC). It provides a
mechanism for rapid evaluation and prototyping. The
HSP50016-EV consists of a series of busses which provide
input, output, and control to the DDC. These busses are
brought out through dual 96 Pin connectors to support daisy
chaining HSP50016-EVs with other Intersil evaluation
boards for multichip prototyping and evaluation.
• Single HSP50016-EV May be Used to Evaluate the
HSP50016
• May be Daisy Chained to Support Evaluation of Multi-Chip
Solutions
• Parallel Port Interface to Support IBM PC™ Based
Evaluation and Control
For added flexibility, the input and control busses can be
driven by registers on-board the HSP50016-EV which have
been down loaded with data via the parallel printer port of an
IBM PC™ or compatible. In addition, the DDC output can be
read into the PC via the status lines of the parallel port.
Together, the I/O and Control Registers can be used to drive
the target DDC with a PC based vector set while collecting
output data on the PC’s disk.
• Three Clocking Modes for Flexibility in Performance
Analysis and Prototyping
• Dual 96-Pin Input/Output Connectors Conforming to the
VME J2/P2 Connector Standard
Applications
Jumper selectable clock sources provide three different
methods of clocking the part under evaluation. In mode one,
the clock signal is generated under PC based software
control. In mode two, the HSP50016-EV’s on-board oscillator
may be selected as the clock source. In mode three, the user
may provide an external clock through the 96 pin input
connector.
• PC Based Performance Analysis of HSP50016
• Rapid Prototyping
The HSP50016-EV was built into a 3U Euro-Card form factor
with dual 96 Pin Input/Output connectors. The I/O
connectors conform to the VME J2/P2 Connector Standard.
