Hardware
The development board interfaces to a host PC via a USB connection. This connection supplies power to the board, although there is
also provision to supply power from an external 5 – 9V source. A bridge circuit on the board converts from the native SPI interface of
the QF1D512 to USB. Through configuration software, the QF1D512 devices can receive input from the ADC circuit, the expansion
interface, or from data loaded from the PC. Either or both QF1D512 devices can be run on the incoming data.
The analog input connects to the supplied ADC converter circuit, allowing the user to provide an analog sensor input. With the
expansion connectors and the prototyping area, alternative ADC devices, custom user circuits, and processors can be connected to
the QF1D512 devices, as well as other third party emulation platforms, allowing for full system emulation without a custom board
design.
Software
There are three main software functions provided by the included Quickfilter software:
