FCC Warning

This equipment is intended for use in a laboratory test environment only. The equipment generates, uses,

and can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of

computing devices pursuant to subpart J of part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide

reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other

environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case, the user, at their own

expense, is required to take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.

Description

The USB2ANY is a small dongle intended to allow a computer to control an electronic evaluation module

(EVM) via a USB connection. These EVMs cannot normally connect directly to the computer because of

their specialized interfaces, which are typically supported on commercial computers.

The USB2ANY is a USB 2.0 device supporting several different interfaces, including:

•

13 general purpose input/output (GPIO) (shared) lines with switchable pullup or pulldown resistors

•

I

•

SPI – up to 8-MHz SCLK

•

UART (300 to 230,400 Baud)

•

Four analog inputs, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

•

Two analog outputs, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC)

•

Four PWM outputs

•

Several other interfaces

•

Switchable 3.3-V or 5-V power to DUT

The USB2ANY board can source regulated 3.3-V and 5.0-V DC power to the target device, up to a

maximum of 300 mA (combined 3.3 V and 5.0 V). The voltage outputs have built-in current sensing and

limiting circuits that protect both the EVM and the USB2ANY from overcurrent, shorts, and so forth.

The USB2ANY is shipped with a USB cable, a 10-pin cable (for most common interfaces), and a 30-pin

cable (for all supported interfaces).
