EZ Amp - an op-amp experimenter board

The EZ Amp provides a convenient manner in which to experiment with operational amplifiers and to prototype circuit applications using them. Circuit patterns are provided for mounting op-amps that use a 14-pin DIP package. This includes a very large selection of standard part types.

In electronic prototyping, it is convenient to have the use of some mechanism to add circuits in a non-permanent manner, for testing. There exist many so-called “prototyping boards”, consisting of a sea of push-pin contacts that allow a circuit to be built in a very temporary manner.

Although prototyping boards are useful tools, they do not provide suitable connections for sensitive circuits involving amplifiers. Poor quality contacts and long lead wires may negatively affect the performance of the circuit. Even when the prototyping board provides adequate technical performance, it is not acceptable for inclusion as a design element for higher level prototyping.

The EZ-Amp provides a new step between “haywiring” and the final circuit. It can be used to breadboard multiple channels of analog signal conditioning in a manner suitable for all but the final step of packaging.

ATV1010 - a full-featured DAQ computer packaged in a 28-pin skinny-DIP

Electronic Interconnect presents ATV1010 - a complete, stand-alone stored program control computer on a chip. It requires no external components for full operation.

ATV1010 consists of a high speed micro-controller capable of executing up to 8 MOPS (million operations per second) with no external support. The speed can be increased to 16 MOPS by the addition of an external crystal or external clock source.

ATV1010 has on-board FLASH memory, EEPROM, RAM, 8 MHz oscillator, high speed UART, two high speed serial communications channels, 23 programmable input/output ports, counter/timers, PWM output channels, six channels of 10-bit analog to digital converters, an analog comparator, internal and external interrupts and everything necessary to implement a wide variety of high performance control and monitoring circuits.
