ISL29501-ST-EV1Z
Sand Tiger Evaluation Board
The ISL29501-ST-EV1Z is a distance measurement
reference design. It combines the
an OSRAM SFH 4550 IR emitting LED and OSRAM
SFH 213FA photodiode. The circuit board is enclosed
in an opaque plastic chassis designed to optically
isolate components. Included is a USB flash drive
containing the evaluation software for a PC and
related technical documents.
The ISL29501-ST-EV1Z board also allows quick
evaluation of the ISL29501 performance for a 2m
sensing system.
