Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated DS2488 Evaluation Kit (DS2488EVKIT)

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:

  • Detect Earbuds: Does a 1-Wire search for ROM ID to determine which earbuds are connected to the charge box
  • IOA Low/Dead Battery: Set IOA to logic-low to simulate a dead battery or to pass a token to IOB
  • Send Message: Uses the UART to send a message between the charge box and the earbuds
  • Write PIOA Level: Uses 1-Wire commands to set the PIOA level
  • Set PIOB Level: Uses 1-Wire commands to set the PIOB level
  • Read PIO Levels: Uses 1-Wire commands to read the levels of the PIO pin
  • Write Buffer: Writes specified hex data to an 8-byte buffer
  • Read Buffer:  Reads written data in an 8-byte buffer

Features

  • Demonstrates the features of the DS2488
  • Fully compliant with USB specification v2.0
  • Microsoft Windows-based software
  • Convenient onboard test points

Kit Contents

  • DS2488EV Board with two DS2488 devices
