Document Feedback AS621x Introduction Introduction The AS621x Eval Kit is a small PCB allowing a simple and quick evaluation of the AS621x digital temperature sensors without the need to design a custom PCB. This small form factor board is fully assembled with the AS621x temperature sensor and its necessary external components.
Document Feedback AS621x Getting Started Getting Started The AS621x Eval Kit is ideal for rapid setup of a digital temperature sensor. To get started connect the board to your microcontroller as described in Figure 4. Add a command in your source code to request two bytes from the selected I²C address.
Document Feedback AS621x Hardware Description Hardware Description The P1 connector does provide all relevant signals, which can be easily wired to a microcontroller and to the power supply. Figure 4: Eval Kit Pin-Out Symbol Description Info I²C clock Use R1 if pull-up is required I²C data Use R2 if pull-up is required Ground...
Document Feedback AS621x Hardware Description AS621x Configuration With the address selector, it is possible to choose the I²C address of the device. The included jumpers are an easy way of setting the I²C address of the sensor. Both address selectors must not be left open.
Document Feedback AS621x Hardware Description Power Supply and Connections The PCB has to be connected to an external microcontroller. P1 is populated with a 1x5 pin header and is required for power supply as well as I²C communication. In addition to that, it can be used to monitor the interrupt status via pin 5 (IRQ).
Document Feedback AS621x Software Description Software Description The AS621x has 4 data registers. With the use of the index register, it is possible to address the specific data register. When powered up the address register is set to 0x0. Figure 8: Data Registers For additional configuration settings, the Config register (0x1) has to be addressed.
