ZSSC3230KIT

Evalution Kit Manual ZSSC3230 SSC Description Features The ZSSC3230 SSC Evaluation Kit is designed for sensor module The I2C communication interface enables quick and easy evaluation, laboratory setup, and module calibration development configuration and calibration of the ZSSC3230 using the for the ZSSC3230 Sensor Signal Conditioners (SSC). users computer. Connections are provided on the ZSSC3230 SSC Evaluation The main purpose of the ZSSC3230 Evaluation Kit is Board for the users sensor module, which can be used communication between the users computer and the ZSSC3230. instead of the Onboard Cap Select Dual In-line Package The computer sends commands and data via its USB port to the (DIP) switches on the ZSSC3230EVB. ZSSC3230 Evaluation Board (ZSSC3230EVB). The microcontroller on the ZSSC3230EVB interprets these commands A set of DIP switches on the ZSSC3230EVB controls a and relays them to the ZSSC3230 located on the ZSSC3230 SSC capacitance that simulates a sensor signal ranging from Evaluation Board using the I2C communication interface. 2pF to 30pF, which can be input to the analog front-end of the ZSSC3230 for evaluation of basic features or for The microcontroller also forwards any data bytes from the demonstrating a dry-run calibration. ZSSC3230 back to the computer via the USB connection. These Clamshell 24-PQFN socket for ZSSC3230 device under test bytes can be sensor readings to be displayed on the computer by (DUT) facilitates testing multiple DUTs without soldering. the software, raw analog-to-digital converter (ADC) data used during calibration, or Electrically Erasable Programmable Read- Software is available for download from the Renesas web Only Memory (EEPROM) data. site: ZSSC3230 SSC Evaluation Kit User Manual Contents 1.
