ISL29501-ST-EV1Z
Sand Tiger User Guide
Description
The ISL29501-ST-EV1Z is a distance measurement reference
design. It combines the
ISL29501
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.
