EVB90129
General Description
The EVB90129 is an assembled printed circuit board that
simplifies evaluation of the MLX90129 sensor tag IC and to
facilitate the development of wireless sensor applications
based on the MLX90129.
The EVB90129 was developed to demonstrate a wide
range of applications, from fully passive sensor tag
operation to complex data logging. Each of its elements
can be reconfigured by means of jumpers.
The board can be powered either by an external voltage
supply, the on-board battery or the electromagnetic field
from a RFID reader.
In addition to the internal temperature sensor of the
MLX90129, the EVB90129 embeds 3 external sensors,
light, temperature and potentiometer to demonstrate the
flexibility for measurement of
a variety of physical
quantities. The custom prototyping area allows users to
integrate their own sensor or circuit into this evaluation
board.
The EVB90129 is capable of storing 128 Kbit of data's in
the SPI EEPROM memory connected to the MLX90129.
The EVB90129 can be accessed and controlled through a
contactless (RFID) or a contact (SPI) interface. The RFID
access to the MLX90129 and the related commands are
compliant with the ISO15693 standard. The SPI and other
digital inputs/outputs from the MLX90129 are connected to
an 8-pin connector of the EVB90129. This allows easy
connection to a microcontroller.
