PSoC™ Automotive Multitouch evaluation kit guide CY3290-CYAT817X Hardware Hardware CYAT817X EVK assembly The CYAT817X EVK consists of a CYAT817X sensor board, TTBridge built into the sensor board, and a 10.2-inch touchscreen sensor enclosed in a plastic case. Figure 1 shows the top view of the assembly.
1.2-mm sensor thickness • 50-/sq ITO sheet resistance • Designed with Infineon’s MH3 pattern • 26 rows and 45 columns The panel is connected to the CYAT817X sensor board using a flex connector. The other side of the flex is attached to an 80-pin connector on the CYAT817X sensor board.
PSoC™ Automotive Multitouch evaluation kit guide CY3290-CYAT817X Hardware CYAT817X sensor board The sensor board contains the CYAT817X device. The CYAT817X EVK uses a 128-pin TQFP part (CYAT817AZS98- 5BFBA). The sensor board for the EVK is shown in Figure 4 along with the major connectors.
PSoC™ Automotive Multitouch evaluation kit guide CY3290-CYAT817X Hardware Multiple test points are included on the CYAT817X sensor board to provide access to signals on the CYAT817X device, as shown in Table Table 4 CYAT817X sensor board test points Test point in...
To connect the EVK to TTHE, follow these steps: 1. Launch the TTHE from the “Infineon” folder under the “Windows Start Menu”. 2. Connect the CYAT817X EVK to a PC through a USB cable connected to the USB I/F port on the kit.
