GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The iMEMS®
ADXRS290
inertial sensor evaluation system is an
easy-to-use evaluation tool targeting bench or desktop
characterization of Analog Devices, Inc., inertial sensor products.
The
EVAL-ADXRS290Z-M
system contains the inertial sensor
evaluation board (ISEB) and the
board. In addition, a USB A to mini-B cable is included to connect
the ISEB to a PC, and an 18-inch, 20-pin ribbon cable is included
to connect the ISEB to the satellite board. The USB connection
provides both communications and power to the board. The
ribbon cable allows users to easily manipulate the satellite board
for testing or to be separately placed into an environmental
chamber for temperature or humidity testing.
Separate the boards to mitigate corruption of data due to the
temperature and humidity effects of other components.

TYPICAL SETUP FOR THE INERTIAL SENSOR
EVALUATION SYSTEM
The ISEB is a universal main board and is used with various
satellite boards of Analog Devices inertial sensors, including
accelerometers and gyroscopes. The different products are
evaluated by means of separate GUIs that are customized for
performance and characterization measurements relevant to the
inertial sensor being evaluated. Different shunt resistors are
used to detect power consumption because the power consumption
of the gyroscope is relatively high compared to that of the acceler-
ometers. The differences between the
-M devices, such as
ADXL345Z-M
in the circuit used to detect power consumption.
Full details about the parts are available in the
sheet, which should be consulted when using the
ADXRS290Z-M.
