Analog Devices Inc. Signal Chain Power Connection Hardware

Analog Devices Inc. Signal Chain Power Connection Hardware are demonstration circuits and adapters designed to be easily plugged into other SCP boards to form a complete signal chain power system. The Signal Chain Power Connection Hardware enables fast evaluation of low power signal chains.

The SCP-5X1-EVALZ Demonstration Circuit is a companion hardware tool designed to integrate several voltage rails into a compact, single-point terminal in a Signal Chain Power hardware evaluation matrix. The board features five input ports and one output port, along with passive filtering options.

The SCP-1X5BKOUT-EVALZ Demonstration Circuit is a companion hardware tool designed to expand an existing rail into five segments in a Signal Chain Power hardware evaluation matrix. The board features one input port and five output ports, along with passive filtering options.

The SCP-1X2BKOUT-EVALZ Demonstration Circuit is a companion hardware tool designed to expand an existing rail into two segments in a Signal Chain Power hardware evaluation matrix. The board features one input port and two output ports, along with passive filtering options.

The SCP-FILTER-EVALZ Demonstration Circuit is a companion hardware tool designed to allow passive RCL filter networks in a Signal Chain Power hardware evaluation matrix. The board accommodates an Nth-order filter network as well as specialty 3-terminal feedthrough filters.

The SCP-INPUT-EVALZ Demonstration Circuit is a companion hardware tool designed to allow external connections when building power systems. The board will accept standard banana jacks and clip-lead type connectors to attach to power supplies and meters.

The SCP Configurator companion software is needed to evaluate the SCP series, demo boards properly. SCP Configurator is designed to help users choose the right board and topology for designs.

SCP Configurator Tool

The Signal Chain Power (SCP) Configurator application is a companion software tool for the Signal Chain Power series of hardware evaluation boards. It is geared for precision instrumentation, test, and measurement system designers who need to power signal chains but are unsure of where to begin. Given an input voltage range, output voltage, and anticipated load current values, the SCP Configurator application will construct a "best fit" topology, choose the most appropriate IC, and show how to construct the power tree with all relevant SCP hardware to order for the system design. Various options for flexible system design include specifying low noise or dual output boards.
