Evaluates: Munich (USB2PMB2#)
General Description
This document explains how the Munich (USB2PMB2#)
adapter board receives commands from a laptop through
the USB to create an I

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 I
enabled devices.
The Maxim USB2PMB2# board requires custom soft-
ware 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), high-speed USB switches,
and a 4K MICROWIRE
This Munich adapter board is used to enable USB-
2
to-I
C/SPI interface for any Pmod™-compatible plug-
in peripheral modules such as the Maxim Campbell,
Santa Fe, Fresno, and Corona reference designs.
