    Introduction Introduction The AS6204 adapter board is a small PCB allowing a simple and quick evaluation of the AS6204 digital temperature sensors without the need to design a custom PCB. This small form factor board is fully assembled with the AS6204 temperature sensor and its necessary external components.

    Getting Started Getting Started The AS6204 adapter board is ideal for rapid setup of a digital temperature sensor. To get started connect the board to your microcontroller configuration as described in Figure 4. Add a command in your source code to request two bytes from the selected I²C address. Finally convert the returned data as described in chapter 4.2 to get the actual temperature value.
