USB2 SMbus interface adaptor for DS125DF111EVM

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS125DF111, DPS-DONGLE-EVM

Hi all,
My customer plans to evaluate DS125DF111 using EVM with "DS1xxDF111EBM.GUI" software.
What is the recommended USB2SMbus interface adapter for this evaluation?
Is it possible to use any  USB2SMbus interface adapter?

Regards,
Toshi

  • Hi Toshi-san,

    The DS1xxxDF111EVM.GUI software that currently appears in the DS125DF111 product folder uses an older software GUI called Analog LaunchPad. In order to use this software, you need a separate interface board (SPA Dongle Board) to connect PC and EVM. We are phasing out this software and do not recommend using this approach.

    We recently released the DS125DF111 device profile on TI.com in a new software called SigCon Architect. This software uses an MSP430 MCU to communicate between PC and device via the SDA/SCL/GND lines. You will need a separate board called a DPS-DONGLE-EVM (as opposed to the SPA Dongle Board) with an on-board MSP430 to interface between PC and device as you program through SigCon Architect.

    SigCon Architect exists as a general framework, where you install a profile updater in order to add different device profiles into SigCon Architect, depending on the which ICs you are evaluating.

    We will need to get a DPS-DONGLE-EVM to your customer so that you can communicate with the EVM. The DPS-DONGLE-EVM is only available by making the proper requests to our local sales team, as it is not publicly available on TI.com. Do you have a TI sales representative contact that we can get in touch with to set up an order?

    Thanks,

    Michael
