Evaluating the
Temperature Sensors
FEATURES
Supports the
and
temperature sensors
Powered from USB port—no additional power supply
required
PC software for control of temperature sensors
Supported operating systems: Windows 2000 and higher
Additional external evaluation board for remote
temperature measurements (ADT7x20EBZ)
Additional external flex boards for faster thermal response
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This user guide describes the EVAL-ADT7x20EBZ,
and software and includes detailed schematics and PCB layout
artwork. The ADT7x20 (EVAL-ADT7x20EBZ) evaluation
board is a compact, easy-to-use platform for evaluating all
features of the
and
temperature sensors.
The ADT7x20FBZ flex boards are optional extras to the
evaluation kit, which can be used as an extension to the
ADT7x20 evaluation board or as standalone devices for
interfacing with a microcontroller or FPGA.
The evaluation kit allows the user to evaluate the performance
of the
and
temperature sensors using a PC.
The kit consists of two boards; a main board connected to the
PC through the USB port and an external board. The external
board and flex board are attached to the main board using wires
that can withstand high temperatures, and can be used for
remote temperature measurements in oil baths or ovens where
the temperature exceeds the specifications of the USB cable.
The evaluation software allows the user to select the main
board or the external board, as well as the desired temperature
sensor device.
When using the ADT7x20 evaluation board, in addition to this
user guide, the user should also consult the
and
data sheets (available at the Analog Devices, Inc.,
website,
