AD-APARD32690-SL Development Platform

Analog Devices development platforms feature Arduino MEGA-compatible form factors with dual-PMOD connectors for expansion

Image of Analog Devices AD-APARD32690-SL Development PlatformThe Analog Devices AD‑APARD32690‑SL is a development platform built around the MAX32690 Arm® Cortex®‑M4 microcontroller, intended for engineers developing intelligent, connected, and security‑critical industrial field systems. It integrates key wired and wireless interfaces, including Bluetooth® LE 5.2, Wi‑Fi®, and 10BASE‑T1L single‑pair Ethernet to support modern edge‑node and sensor‑module requirements.

The board includes external HyperRAM, QSPI Flash, and a MAXQ1065 cryptographic controller to support secure boot, root‑of‑trust functionality, and hardware‑based key storage. Connectivity is further expanded through Arduino MEGA‑compatible headers and two PMOD interfaces, allowing straightforward integration of sensors, I/O modules, and industrial peripherals.

The kit ships with required accessories, including a 10BASE‑T1L‑to‑USB adapter board, SPE cable, and USB cable, enabling technicians and application engineers to bring the system online quickly for evaluation, firmware development, and interface testing.
