DIGITAL INPUT AND OUTPUTS
SDP Connector
The J5 connector interfaces to the SDP adapter that connects
to a Windows-based PC. A detailed description of the SDP
adapter is found in the
SDP-S Controller Board
All internal registers and control functions of the ADAR1000-
EVALZ evaluation board are driven from the PC using the
evaluation software.
Daisy-Chain Interface Connectors
The 20-pin connectors (P1 and P2) also carry the digital signals
for controlling the ADAR1000. The two connectors have
identical pinouts, and the connectors daisy-chain up to four
ADAR1000-EVALZ evaluation boards controlled through a
single USB interface. All signals on these connectors except
Pin 15 operate at 3.3 V logic levels, and these signals pass
through 3.3 V to 1.8 V logic translators before connecting to the
digital pins on the ADAR1000, which operate at 1.8 V logic
levels. The serial data output (SDO) pin from each ADAR1000,
with its 1.8 V logic levels, can be tied together through the daisy
chain (Pin 15 on P1 and P2) by installing a 0 Ω resistor jumper
(R36). The pinout of P1 and P2 is shown in Table 3.
The TR, TX_LOAD, RX_LOAD, and PA_ON pins on the
ADAR1000
are also controlled by software via general purpose
input output (GPIO) lines on the SDP connector and 3.3 V to
1.8 V level shifters.

Device Interface with 1.8 V Logic Levels
Logic signals on the
connector, P6, to allow direct interface to the device using 1.8 V
logic signals. To operate in this mode, the logic level translators
(U2, U4, and U5) must be disabled using the J4, J5, J7, and J9
jumpers. The pinout for connector P6 is shown in Table 4.
