ZMID520x Evaluation Kit User Manual Description Features The ZMID520x Evaluation Kit enables evaluation of the IDT USB plug and play no driver installation needed ZMID520x Family of Inductive Position Sensor ICs via IDTs Small ZMID-COMBOARD: 4cm 7.3cm ZMID520x Application Modules (available separately). It can be One-wire communication interface (OWI) enables quick and used for the sensor calibration for the following ICs: easy configuration and calibration of the ZMID520x using the ZMID5201: analog interface users computer ZMID5202: PWM interface PWM, analog, or SENT reading of the output depending on ZMID5203: SENT interface product code The main purpose of the ZMID520x Evaluation Kit is communica- The modular design allows easy swapping of different tion between the users computer and the ZMID520x. The users ZMID520x Application Modules (available separately) for computer sends commands and data via its USB port to the ZMID evaluation using the same ZMID-COMBOARD and ZMID520x Communication Board (ZMID-COMBOARD). EVK Application Software The kit software is available for download from the IDT The microcontroller on the ZMID-COMBOARD interprets these product page for the ZMID-COMBOARD: commands and relays them to the ZMID520x located on the ZMID520x Application Module using the one-wire interface (OWI) www.IDT.com/ZMID-COMBOARD communication interface. The microcontroller also forwards data bytes from the ZMID520x back to the computer via the USB connection. These bytes can be Kit Contents sensor readings, ZMID520x internal registers values, or ZMID520x ZMID-COMBOARD EEPROM contents. Micro-USB cable The ZMID520x EVK Application Software is a graphical user inter- face (GUI) that is provided online for the kit. It supports all ZMID520x configurations and enables the user to understand the functionality of the ZMID520x as well as perform measurements. Figure 1.
