ZMID4200
Description
The ZMID4200 Evaluation Kit enables evaluation of
the Renesas ZMID4200 Inductive Position Sensor IC
via Renesas' ZMID4200 Application Modules
(available separately).
The main purpose of the ZMID4200 Evaluation Kit is
communication between the user's computer and the
ZMID4200. The user's computer sends commands
and data via its USB port to the ZMID
Communication Board (ZMID-COMBOARD).
The microcontroller on the ZMID-COMBOARD
interprets these commands and relays them to the
ZMID4200 located on the ZMID4200 Application
Module using the one-wire interface (OWI)
communication interface.
The microcontroller also forwards data bytes from the
ZMID4200 back to the computer via the USB
connection. These bytes can be sensor readings,
ZMID4200 internal registers values, or ZMID4200
EEPROM contents.
The ZMID4200 EVKIT Application Software is a
graphical user interface (GUI) that is provided online
for the kit. It supports all ZMID4200 configurations
and enables the user to understand the functionality
of the ZMID4200 as well as perform measurements.

Application Module Sensor Board. If connecting to two modules at the same time, the ZMID4200 ICs on the modules must have the same output option (e.g., 2 xAnalog ouputs). Note that the same signals are available on the adjacent 4-pin header P3, which has labels for the pin signals: NC (no connection), GND, OUT, and VDD. -

IC configuration. Each value represents a register or a part of a register from the internal memory of the device. The displayed memory type can be either the ZMID4200 EEPROM or the SWR memory. SWR refers to shadow registers used as the working memory for the ZMID4200, which can be temporarily written via the GUI to the ZMID4200 for development purposes. -

SWR settings to the EEPROM memory of the device. This section also provides the “Reset IC” button for manually resetting the ZMID4200. The reset power cycles the device and puts it in Command Mode. After reset, the contents of the EEPROM of the device are copied to its working memory SWR. -
Page 16: Calibration
The “COIL OFFSET” sub-tab is located under the “CALIBRATION” tab (see Figure 22). It is used to compensate the offset of the signal acquired from coils R1 and R2 connected to the ZMID4200. Figure 22. “COIL OFFSET” Tab – ZMID4200 Example For each of the coils, the following are displayed: 1. -

(see Figure 40). The data is organized in tables, and the register values are in hexadecimal format. Figure 40. “MEMORY EDIT” Tab Contents – ZMID4200 Example The read-only registers are marked with a light blue background. Modified register values will appear in red color until they are written to the device memory or re-read from it (see Figure 41). -
Page 28: Saving And Loading Memory Dump Files
Since there is no device connected, only the “CONFIGURE” and “MEMORY EDIT” tabs are available (see Figure 44). The values that are different from the default values for the ZMID4200 are displayed in red. Connecting to a device while viewing a memory dump file “offline” will cause the GUI to discard any unsaved changes to the memory dump file and switch to displaying the current settings from the connected device’s memory. -
Page 29: Manually Identifying A Device
ZMID4200 Evaluation Board Manual Manually Identifying a Device When a new device is connected to the computer, the GUI automatically recognizes it. If it is unable to identify the device, the user must manually identify it. There is also a menu option to re-identify a device (see Figure 45). -
