GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The iSensor® family of products provides a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for data communications. The SPI interface and a
well-calibrated cluster of sensors enable quick integration into
systems that employ embedded processor systems. For users who
are familiar with embedded processors, integrating the iSensor
device with a familiar processor system enables development
with familiar software tools, provides more flexibility, and enables
more design reuse after the initial sensor evaluation is complete.
For users who are unfamiliar with embedded processors and
their development tools, the EVAL-ADIS system provides a
simple PC-based tool for getting started with iSensor products.
option uses a linear regulator, 400 µF of bulk capacitance, and a
soft start circuit to manage transient currents on the USB port.
The EVAL-ADIS circuit board provides tapped holes (M2 ×
0.4 mm), and the kit includes an assortment of M2 × 0.4 mm
machine screws for a simple device under test (DUT) attachment. The location of the mounting holes facilitates easy
electrical connection with the mating connectors (J1 or J4
on the EVAL-ADIS).
The evaluation software packages, which support operation
with the EVAL-ADIS, typically offer three modes of operation:
demonstration, register access, and data capture. In most cases, the
demonstration mode will be a simple waveform recorder function,
which provides a simple visual response to sensor motion. The
waveform recorder is useful in concept demonstrations or
functional verification of units. Individual register read and
write cycles are available in the Register Access window. PC
data acquisition is available using the Data Capture window,
which provides various control inputs, including data register
selection, data file format, and data storage location. In data
capture mode, the EVAL-ADIS reads and stores data from each
selected register every time that the sensor’s data-ready signal
pulses. This synchronous capture mode supports the ADIS16488
(10 registers, 16-bits wide, 2.46 kSPS)
The power management system provides jumper selection for
three device under test (DUT) power options: 5 V (USB), 3.3 V,
and an external power option. The 5 V option provides access
to the USB’s 5 V supply voltage for the DUT, and the 3.3 V
The EVAL-ADIS kit includes a USB mini cable for quick
connection to a PC. The IMU evaluation software package
supports operation on Windows® XP, Windows Vista, and
Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) PC systems.

MECHANICAL SETUP/INSTALLATION
IMU INSTALLATION
When installing the ADIS16334 or ADIS16448, use the flexible
cable to connect the device to J4 on the EVAL-ADIS. Note that
these products and the associated flexible cable have only 20 pins.
J4, on the other hand, has 24-pins; therefore, ensure that the
flexible cable connects to Pin 1 to Pin 20 on J4 and aligns correctly
prior to plugging the USB cable into the USB connection on the
EVAL-ADIS. Ignore the Pin 1 markings on the flexible connector
because these markings do not reflect the correct Pin 1 connections with respect to the ADIS16334/ADIS16448 or J4 on
the EVAL-ADIS.
Figure 4 provides a top level view of the EVAL-ADIS printed
circuit board (PCB), which provides two electrical connectors
(J1, J4) and a series of mounting holes. Table 1 provides the mating
connector and mounting hole identifiers for each compatible
product as well as the mounting hardware, the power supply
settings (JP1), and the most appropriate reference picture for each
compatible product (and future product support plans). Note
that inclusion in Table 1 does not necessarily reflect full support
of a particular product; that requires application software. Refer
to the www.analog.com/EVAL-ADIS for the most recent list of
supported products.
09902-023
When installing an iSensor product on the EVAL-ADIS, do not
plug it into the PC-USB port or any other potential source of
power, before the installation is complete. Before pressing the
mating connector into J4, ensure that the pins align correctly.
For the ADIS16375, ADIS16485, and ADIS16488, installing JP2
across both leads provides 3.3 V of power to the real-time clock
power pin.

Data Capture
Click Data Capture in the menu bar of the main window to
read and store a sequence of output data from the DUT. The
Data Capture window (see Figure 14) provides controls for the
data storage location, data file name, register selection, data
format, and data file header. Each data collection cycle starts
when the DUT’s data-ready signal pulses.
Data Register Selection
The Data Capture window contains a list of sensor data, which
are associated with the output registers, along with a
corresponding selection check box. Use the check box to
include an output register in each data collection cycle of the data
record. The ADIS1613x, ADIS1637x, and ADIS1648x products
currently provide lower word registers, that capture the bit growth
associated with integrated filtering operations. For example,
X_GRYO_LOW is a 16-bit register that captures this bit growth for
the x-axis gyroscope in these products. While this register provides
16 more bits (for a total of 32-bits), the ADIS1648x products rarely
need more than 24 bits to preserve the precision available in the
ADIS1648x products, so many of the least significant bits in these
registers are not significant.
Selecting the 16-bit option in the Data Capture menu includes
only the upper 16 bits of output data (for example, only
X_GRYO_OUT). Selecting the 32-bit option includes all 32 bits
in the data record (for example, X_GYRO_OUT and
X_GYRO_LOW). Selecting both 16-bit and 32-options result in
separate entries: one for the X_GYRO_OUT and another that
combines X_GYRO_OUT and X_GYRO_LOW data. For
maximum speed, select one or the other, but not both.
Data Record Options
Selecting the Add File Header check box controls the first line
of the data record file. Clearing this check box removes the header
line from the data record. Selecting the Use Scaled Data check
box causes the software to convert the digital output codes into
a decimal equivalent prior to storing them in the data record file.
When using scaled data, the result is rounded to the 4th decimal
place. For finer resolution, uncheck the Use Scale Data option
and convert the twos complement result using post-event signal
processing routines.
Sample Rate
The sample rate is dependent on the data-ready signal coming
from the IMU and is typically associated with a register setting,
such as DEC_RATE in the ADIS16488.
