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:
The DS2488EVKIT software provides an easy-to-use Graphics User Interface (GUI) to accelerate configuration and evaluation of the DS2488 1-Wire Dual-Port Link. This Microsoft Windows-based application communicates to the Evaluation Kit via USB.
