Overview

The ZSSC3281 evaluation kit provides the hardware required for the configuration, calibration, and evaluation of the ZSSC3281 dual-channel sensor signal conditioner (SSC) IC. A user's PC can communicate with the ZSSC3281 IC mounted on the ZSSC3281 SSC evaluation board through the SSC communication board via a USB connection. The evaluation board can be connected either to a user's sensor or to the SSC sensor replacement board (SRB). The SRB serves as a substitute for an actual sensor and can be used for initial calibration or 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.

  3. ZSSC3281-Configuration without EvalKit

    Dear Support-Team, is it possible, to load an existing NVM-Dump to ZSSC3281 without the EvalKit? Or is it possible to change a memory-parameter (e.g. Bm1Cfg1) without the EvalKit? Thank's very much. mh
