6. QTM300CA USER S GUIDE Cloning Adapter for the QT3xx family of QProx ICs Description The QTM300CA is a cloning adapter designed to interface between any QT3xx 8 pin ipa sensor IC QT300 QT310 B QT320 and a PC or other host device This adapter permits the designer to upload settings from a PC into the target chip or to read the settings inside a chip The supplied cable allows the board to plug directly into both the E3A and E3B eval boards For production use the target PCB can have a similar connector which allows the QTM300CA to upload settings on a mass basis The cloning process takes under 1 second to complete The QTM300CA s eeprom memory permits the board to be used as a stand alone cloning adapter once it is programmed from a PC with the desired setups An onboard socket also allows the user to program QT3xx parts individually The QTM300CA can also be used to read back and verify the settings in QT3xx parts For the QT300 continuous IC this adapter also provides the additional functionality of interfacing to that device s SPI port to download signal data which can then be observed directly on the PC in real time using QT3View software QT3View PC software is included and updates can be downloaded from Quantum s web site You should find the following materials included with your QTM300CA Materials 1x QTM300CA board E 1x RS232 DB 9 serial extension cable Provided 1x RCO02 IDC to IDC clo
