Overview
Description
The ZSSC3218 evaluation kit provides the hardware required for the configuration, calibration, and evaluation of the ZSSC3218 sensor signal conditioner (SSC) IC. A user's PC can communicate with the ZSSC3218 sample IC (PQFN24 package, available only with the kit) mounted on the ZSSC32xx evaluation board through the ZSSC3xxx communication board via a USB connection. The evaluation kit software is available online as a free download. The evaluation board can connect to the user's sensor or to the ZSSC3xxx sensor replacement board (SRB), which provides a replacement for an actual sensor and can be used for the first step of calibration or a dry-run calibration. On the SRB, the emulated resistive sensor signal is adjusted using a potentiometer.
The boards can also be ordered separately. To facilitate product comparisons, this kit is compatible with selected Renesas devices. Contact your local sales representative for more information.
The evaluation kit software is available online as a free download.

A brief introduction and overview of IDT's (acquire by Renesas) sensor signal conditioner evaluation kits. Evaluation kits generally consist of three parts: a communication interface board, a device board, and a sensor simulator board - all connected together. A sophisticated software GUI accompanies the kit, enabling an engineer to learn how to use the part rapidly, do quick prototyping, and practice calibrations.
