AS8579-SS_EK_AB

AS8579-SS_EK_AB is an adapter board designed for first evaluation of AS8579 capacitive sensors. The PCB is equipped with all basic necessary components for easy plug'n'play evaluation. For communication and configuration of Sensor the adapter board can be connected either to an external microcontroller or to the USB I&P Box. The AS8579 is a sensor, which measures the capacitive value by separately measuring the 10-bit Information (accumulated to 14-bit) of I and Q. This 14-bit information provides the capacitance of the application. The I and Q data can be read over a standard SPI interface.

• Hardware is designed to test and evaluate the features of AS8579 capacitive sensor
• PCB is equipped with all necessary peripheral components for easy evaluation
• A level shifter is needed, if one wants to connect the I&P box to the adapter board
