Renesas ZMOD4410 User Manual

Description
The ZMOD4410 Evaluation Kit (EVK) is designed for evaluating
Renesas' ZMOD4410 Gas Sensor Module for Indoor Air Quality.
The total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) measurement is one
of the indicators for indoor air quality (IAQ). In addition,
measurement modes are provided to trigger an external device
(e.g., fan, ventilation) based on the air quality change, and to
discriminate sulfur odors.
The Gas Sensor Evaluation Software allows Windows
operating systems to communicate with the ZMOD4410 EVK via a
USB connection on the user's computer, which functions as a
master. The software and additional related documentation is
available on the Renesas website at www.IDT.com/ZMOD4410-
EVK.
The EVK's Communication Board (HiCom) handles the interface
between the user's computer and the ZMOD4410 module mounted
on the ZMOD4410 Sensor Board (i.e., daughter board). Note: Only
one Communication Board with one Sensor Board can be
connected to the computer at a time.
The ZMOD4410 Evaluation Kit uses an FTDI controller on the
Communication Board to handle the USB protocol, translate
communications, and synchronize communications with the I2C
interface. The Sensor Board includes a decoupling capacitor.
The Communication Board has devices mounted on both sides.
The components on the top side generate a stable supply voltage.
A potentiometer can be used to adjust the internal supply voltage
in the typical range from 1.7V to 3.6V. Alternatively, the user's
external supply voltage can be used. The intensity of the adjacent
LED is proportional to the supply voltage.
