Interfacing serial peripheral connecter with parallel bus

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on interfacing the ADIS16209CCCZ inclinometer from Analog Devices with the DT9816 data acquisition module from Data Translation. The inclinometer utilizes a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), while the DT9816 operates with parallel buses. A solution proposed is the use of a UART device to bridge the communication between the SPI of the inclinometer and the parallel bus of the DAQ module. This approach eliminates the need for a microcontroller in the setup.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication
  • Familiarity with parallel bus architecture
  • Knowledge of data acquisition systems, specifically the DT9816 module
  • Basic concepts of UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) functionality
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and capabilities of the ADIS16209CCCZ inclinometer
  • Explore the DT9816 data acquisition module's parallel bus interface
  • Learn about UART devices and their application in interfacing SPI with parallel buses
  • Investigate alternative methods for connecting SPI devices without a microcontroller
USEFUL FOR

Engineers and technicians working with data acquisition systems, embedded systems developers, and anyone involved in interfacing sensors with digital communication protocols.

I'm not 100% sure that this is in the right board, but...

I need to attach an inclinometer to a data translation board. The DAQ module in question is a DT9816 from Data Translation, and in inclinometers one of those being looked at is the ADIS16209CCCZ from Analog Devices. This has a serial peripheral interface (SPI) connecter, and is typically designed to be hooked up to a microcontroller. I was wondering if anybody knew of any ways to bypass using a microcontroller, e.g. if there is a piece of equipment I could put between the two that will interface the inclinometer's SPI with the parallel buses on the DAQ module.

Thanks.

The device you seek is called a UART.
