Renesas ZMOD4510AI1V User Manual

Description
The ZMOD4510 Evaluation Kit (EVK) is designed for evaluating
Renesas' ZMOD4510 Gas Sensor Module for Total Outdoor Air
Quality (OAQ 1 Generation) or selective ozone measurements
st
(OAQ 2 Generation). The device is ideal for monitoring and
nd
reporting Outdoor Air Quality according to the standard of the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Air Quality Index
(AQI) output is based on a combination of outdoor gases present,
including nitrogen oxides (NO
Renesas' Gas Sensor Evaluation Software allows Windows
based operating systems to communicate with the ZMOD4510
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.
The EVK's Communication Board (HiCom) handles the interface
between the user's computer and the ZMOD4510 module mounted
on the ZMOD4510 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 ZMOD4510 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.
