Maxim Integrated Munich USB2PMB1 Manual

Evaluates: Munich (USB2PMB1#)
General Description
This document explains how the Munich (USB2PMB1#)
adapter board receives commands from a laptop
through the USB to create an SPI interface. Hardware

Portability has become another word for convenience.
These days, almost all of us carry laptops, and this advan-
tage can be used to showcase parts to the customers
offering solutions that can cater to their needs. To have
that convenience, we need to have a board that interfaces
with our laptops to the signal chain electronics that are
present on many of the industrial, medical, and consumer
applications. This adapter board serves this purpose of
being a bridge between your laptop and your SPI-enabled
devices.
The Maxim USB2PMB1# board requires custom software
and can be ordered together as an evaluation system
(EV system). The Munich design integrates a low-power,
1.2A, PWM step-down DC-DC converter (MAX1556); a
dual, high-speed, USB-to-multipurpose UART/FIFO IC
(FT2232HL); and a 4K MICROWIRE
EEPROM. This Munich adapter board is used to enable
USB-to-SPI interface for any Pmod™-compatible plug-
in peripheral modules such as the Maxim Campbell,
Santa Fe, Fresno, and Corona reference designs.
