ISL29501-CS-EVKIT1Z
Cat Shark Reference Design
The ISL29501-CS-EVKIT1Z is a distance
measurement reference design consisting of an
optical board and a controller board. It combines the
ISL29501
chip with an OSRAM SFH 4550 IR emitting
LED and OSRAM SFH 213FA photodiode. The two
circuit boards are connected together with a flat flex
cable. Included is a USB flash drive containing the
evaluation software for a PC and related technical
documents.
The ISL29501-CS-EVKIT1Z kit also allows quick
evaluation of the ISL29501 performance for a 2m
sensing system.
