Theory of Operation for SM-USB-DIG Platform
Figure 4
shows the block diagram for the SM-USB-DIG Platform. This platform is a general-purpose data
acquisition system that is used on several different Texas Instruments evaluation modules. The details of
its operation are included in a separate document (SBOU098). The block diagram shown in
given as a brief overview of the SM-USB-DIG Platform.

The brain of the SM-USB-DIG Platform is the TUSB3210, an 8052 microcontroller that has a built-in USB
interface. The microcontroller receives information from the host computer that is interpreted into power,

I
C, SPI, and other digital I/O patterns. During the digital I/O transaction, the microcontroller reads the
response of any device connected to the I/O interface. The response from the device is sent back to the
PC where it is interpreted by the host computer.
