Introduction

The CDB5484U evaluation board provides a convenient means of evaluating the CS5484 energy mea-
surement IC. The CDB5484U evaluation board operates from a single USB or 5V power supply. An op-
tional 3.3V power supply input is available for powering the CS5484 directly. The evaluation board
interfaces the CS5484 to a PC via a USB cable. To accomplish this, the board comes equipped with a
C8051F342 microcontroller and a USB interface. Additionally, the CDB5484U GUI software provides
easy access to the internal registers of the CS5484. The software also provides a means to display the
on-chip ADC performance in the time domain or frequency domain.

Evaluation Board Overview

The board is partitioned into two main sections: analog and digital. The analog section consists of the
CS5484, passive anti-aliasing filters, and a high-voltage section with attenuation resistor networks. The
digital section consists of the C8051F342 microcontroller, LCD, test switches, reset circuitry, and USB in-
terface. The board also has a user-friendly power supply connection. The assembly information and de-
fault configurations for jumpers are shown below.
