Overview
Description
The ZSSC3240KIT Evaluation Kit provides the hardware needed for the configuration, calibration, and evaluation of the ZSSC3240 Sensor Signal Conditioner (SSC) IC. The user's PC can communicate with the ZSSC3240 IC socketed on the ZSSC3240 SSC Evaluation Board via the SSC Communication Board through a USB connection. The Evaluation Kit Software is available online for free download.
The evaluation board can connect to the user's sensor or to the SSC Sensor Replacement Board (SRB). The SRB 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 controlled by a potentiometer.
For further information and support for the SSC Communication Board, visit the SSC-CB product page.
Boards can also be ordered separately. To enable product comparisons, this modular kit is compatible with other select Renesas devices. Contact your local sales representative for more information.
Features
- I²C, SPI, or OWI communication interface enables quick and easy configuration and calibration of the ZSSC324x using the user’s computer.
- Connections are provided on the ZSSC324x SSC Evaluation Board for the user’s sensor module, which can be used instead of the SSC Sensor Replacement Board.
- A potentiometer on the SSC Sensor Replacement Board controls a voltage that simulates a sensor signal ranging from 2mV to 110mV, which can be input to the analog front-end of the ZSSC324x (INP and INN pins) for evaluation of basic features or for demonstrating a "dry-run" calibration.
- Modular design allows reuse of kit components for evaluation of select ZSSC324x products.
- Clamshell 24-PQFN socket for ZSSC324x device under test (DUT) facilitates testing multiple DUTs without soldering.
