ADZS-SC589-EZLITE

The ADZS-SC589-EZLITE is an evaluation board that is designed for the purposes of demonstrating the capabilities of the Analog Devices\' SHARC SC589 processor. It is part of the "EZ-KIT Lite" suite of evaluation boards and is categorized within the "Embedded" section of the company\'s product line for its use of microcontrollers, digital signal processors, and other embedded technologies.

The evaluation board is built around the ADZS-SC589 processor, which is a 32-bit floating-point processor that is optimized for audio and video processing applications. It features an omnidirectional performance of up to 295 MIPS (million instructions per second) and 200 MBps (million bytes per second) of memory bandwidth. In addition, the processor is capable of simultaneously executing multiple tasks with its dual-channel DMA (direct memory access) controller.

The evaluation board includes several peripherals to further facilitate development and evaluation of applications on the SHARC SC589 processor. These peripherals include serial ports, Ethernet connections, and a FPD-Link III HDMI/DVI-D port. It also includes a full suite of audio and video codecs for encoding/decoding audio and video signals, as well as a suite of software libraries that provide hardware abstraction layers and support functions. The board also includes on-board storage memory (SPI Flash and SDRAM) for quick and easy storage of applications and data.

The application field for the ADZS-SC589-EZLITE evaluation board is fairly broad. It can be used in audio and video processing systems, telephony systems, automotive infotainment systems, medical systems, or any other system that requires digital signal processing capabilities. It is also ideal for developers who are looking to quickly configure and deploy a development environment for the SHARC processor without having to worry about configuring hardware.

The working principle of the ADZS-SC589-EZLITE is fairly straightforward. After connecting the board to a host PC via USB, the user can then interface with the processor using the provided board support packages (BSPs) and the included debugging system. Once the BSPs and the debugging system are configured, the user can then write and compile their application code, which can then be downloaded to the board using the onboard debugger. Once the application is on the board, the user can then evaluate and test it using the available peripherals and software libraries.
