Analog Devices Inc. ADIS16364/PCBZ

Overview

ADIS16364/PCBZ from Analog Devices is an evaluation interface board designed to simplify connection of the ADIS16364BMLZ inertial sensor module to host processor systems. It translates the 1mm-pitch FTMH-112-03 connector on the ADIS16364BMLZ to a 2mm-pitch header compatible with standard ribbon cabling and hand-soldered prototyping. It supports SPI communication, operates from 3.3V or 5V (via JP1 jumper), and enables rapid functional validation in motion sensing applications such as industrial platform stabilization.

For engineers reviewing the ADIS16364/PCBZ datasheet, ADIS16364/PCBZ pinout, ADIS16364/PCBZ application, or ADIS16364/PCBZ equivalent, this page provides verified mechanical interface details, supported host connectivity options, power configuration guidance, software compatibility notes, and integration best practices for the ADIS16364BMLZ-based inertial measurement unit.

Technical Context

The ADIS16364/PCBZ serves exclusively as a passive mechanical and electrical interface adapter - it contains no active circuitry, microcontroller, or signal conditioning. Its sole function is pitch translation (1mm → 2mm) and physical mounting support for the ADIS16364BMLZ sensor module, which integrates dual-axis gyroscope, dual-axis accelerometer, temperature sensor, and digital SPI interface in a single compact package.

It interfaces directly with the ADISUSBZ USB evaluation system via J4 mating connector and supports the ADIS16350 demonstration software suite. No firmware, drivers, or calibration logic resides on the ADIS16364/PCBZ itself; all sensor configuration, data acquisition, and post-processing occur externally via host PC or embedded processor.

FAQ

Does ADIS16364/PCBZ include any active circuitry or firmware?

No, the ADIS16364/PCBZ is a passive evaluation interface board with no ICs, microcontrollers, or programmable elements. It provides only mechanical alignment, pitch translation, and power routing between the ADIS16364BMLZ sensor module and host systems. All signal processing, calibration, and configuration are handled externally by the ADIS16350 software or user-designed host firmware interacting directly with the ADIS16364BMLZ via SPI.

What sensor module does ADIS16364/PCBZ support?

The ADIS16364/PCBZ is explicitly designed for and mechanically compatible only with the ADIS16364BMLZ inertial sensor module. It is not interchangeable with ADIS16360BMLZ or ADIS16365BMLZ without verification of pinout and mechanical fit - though all three share the same FTMH-112-03 connector footprint, documentation confirms ADIS16364/PCBZ is listed alongside ADIS16364BMLZ in the official ordering row and interface diagrams.

Can ADIS16364/PCBZ be used standalone without ADISUSBZ?

Yes, the ADIS16364/PCBZ can be connected directly to a custom host PCB using 2mm-pitch ribbon cable or hand-soldered headers. It requires external SPI master logic, regulated 3.3V or 5V power (selected via JP1), and appropriate level-shifting if interfacing with non-3.3V logic. The ADIS16364/PCBZ itself imposes no timing or protocol constraints - full functionality depends on correct implementation of the ADIS16364BMLZ SPI register map and timing specifications.

Is the PCB layout or Gerber file for ADIS16364/PCBZ publicly available?

No, Analog Devices does not publish the schematic, layout, or Gerber files for ADIS16364/PCBZ. The board is supplied as a complete, assembled evaluation interface; design files are proprietary and not distributed. Users requiring custom interface solutions should refer to the ADIS16364BMLZ datasheet for connector pinout and mechanical drawings, then design their own carrier board based on Samtec FTMH-112-03 footprint and recommended layout guidelines.

What software is required to operate ADIS16364/PCBZ with ADISUSBZ?

The ADIS16364/PCBZ requires the ADIS16350 demonstration software (v3.50 or later), distributed by Analog Devices as 350ES.zip. This software supports USB communication via ADISUSBZ, real-time sensor data visualization, auto-null and precision calibration routines, Bartlett window filtering, flash memory register updates, and data logging - all applicable to the ADIS16364BMLZ when mounted on ADIS16364/PCBZ and installed on ADISUSBZ.
