Arduino evaluation board is part of a comprehensive ecosystem

An Arduino compatible development platform for high-precision analog applications, the EVAL-ADICUP360 evaluation board is now available from Farnell element14. It is part of a comprehensive ecosystem which includes open source development tools, software examples, and hardware modules. The hardware has an Arduino and PMOD compatible footprint for easy plug and play functionality. The evaluation board is made up of two major building blocks : 1 - A fully-integrated, 3.9kSPS, 24-bit data acquisition system that incorporates dual high-performance, multichannel sigma-delta (S-?) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor, and Flash/EE memory, realized on a single-chip ADuCM360 microcontroller. 2 - An on-board SWD interface, based on the OpenSDA platform, which is implemented with the Freescale's ?20DX128 microcontroller. This block allows using a free Software Development Toolchain to program and debug the ADuCM360 microcontroller part.
