Test Platforms

Creative Power has test/development boards to enable product development with the DA, DD and DF Series controllers. This enables users to gain experiences using the core MCU processors without the need to build a full custom controller in the first instance.

The supported MCU processor boards are presently limited to CPT-DFCC. The older test platforms have been archived and are only available upon specific request.

These test and development boards provide simple loop back capability on digital I/O, on-card analog references for test purposes and buffered off-card interfaces that provide standard interfaces to external peripherals.

The boards also double as self-test boards and operate with the automatic test rig software available as a separate purchase within the CPT Software Libraries package. This software provides simple examples for the user on how to configure the MCU boards as well as the overall test process.

The buffered analog and digital interfaces provide standardized headers that a compatible with other Creative Power power stages. Please contact Creative Power directly to discuss options that may suit your development requirements.
