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 system consists of the inertial sensor evaluation board (ISEB),
or main board, for any Analog Devices inertial sensor product.
The ISEB connects directly to a PC via an USB cable, with the
USB connection providing both communications and power to
the board. The ISEB is connected to the satellite board through
a ribbon cable. This cable allows the satellite to be easily
manipulated for testing or separately placed into an
environmental chamber for temperature or humidity testing.
Separating the boards mitigates corruption of data due to the
temperature and humidity effects of other components.
The ISEB is an universal main board and is intended to be used
with various satellites of Analog Devices inertial sensors, including
analog and digital accelerometers, as well as 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. Since the power
consumption of gyro is relatively high compared with the
accelerometers, different shunt resistor have to be used to
detect its power consumption, the difference between
ADXRS290 –M with other –M is just the circuits for detecting
the power consumption of the gyroscope.
The EVAL-ADXRS290Z-M system contains the ISEB and the
EVAL-ADXRS290Z-S satellite board. Also included is an USB
A to Mini-B cable to connect the ISEB to a PC and an 18-inch,
20-pin ribbon cable to connect the ISEB to the satellite.
