Sensing

onsemi

The sensor board for the AR2020, a 20 Mpixel CMOS image sensor, produces excellent optical performance in both the visible and near infrared portions of the spectrum. The sensor consumes very little power, making it ideal for use in battery-powered products such as surveillance cameras or video doorbells. 

The sensor board can be interfaced to the Demo3 evaluation board, or to an AP1302 evaluation board stacked on the Demo3 evaluation board: in this configuration, it supports a maximum image resolution of 13 Mpixels. 

The kit uses the DevSuite software from onsemi for system configuration. The software provides a comprehensive set-up interface, and provides features for evaluating the sensor’s features and capabilities. The sensor board is supplied with a lens.

To get started with the AR2020CSSC13SMTAH3-GEVB, developers also need:

  • Demo 3 evaluation board AGB1N0CS-GEVK
  • Optional AP1302 evaluation board 
  • DevSuite software
Bosch Sensortec

The Bosch Sensortec BMA530 shuttle board 3.0 is a PCB with the acceleration sensor BMA530 mounted on it. In combination with the application board 3.x, the shuttle board can be used to evaluate various functionalities provided on BMA530. The shuttle board allows easy access to the sensor pins via a simple socket and can be directly plugged into the Bosch Sensortec application board 3.x.

The STEVAL-56G3MAI1 module enables easy evaluation of the VD56G3 1.5 Mpixel monochrome image sensor from STMicroelectronics. The module features a soldered sensor in a PLCC package, an M12 lens holder screwed to the board, and a removable lens. The module also has a flex cable to connect to a broad range of embedded processing platforms. 

The module is one of a family of modules for evaluating various products in the ST BrightSense image sensor portfolio. All share the same standard connector and pinout, to enable easy replacement of one image sensor with another in proof-of-concept designs. 

All of the image sensor modules are backed by a comprehensive set of enablement software, drivers and evaluation tools, including drivers for a Linux® operating system. The modules also support GUI software for evaluation when paired with the STEVAL-EVK-U0I1EVK evaluation board.

Monolithic Power Systems

The TBMA600 is a test board from Monolithic Power Systems for design engineers working with the MA600 series magnetic position sensors. 

TBMA600 test boards are compatible with the MagAlpha-MagDiff evaluation kit, offering seamless connection with the MA600 series sensors, and allowing engineers to evaluate an MA600 sensor in their own prototype or circuit. The board supports side-shaft and end-of-shaft mounting configurations. 

The TBMA600 includes the assembled board with the sensor, decoupling capacitors, resistor, and connectors. It is compatible with the MPS Magnetic Sensor Evaluation System kit, part number EVKT-MagAlpha-MagDiff.

STMicroelectronics

The STEVAL-MKI231KA demonstration board provides a hardware platform for evaluating the STHS34PF80, an infrared motion and presence-detection sensor from STMicroelectronics. 

The demo board is connected through flat cable to a generic adapter board, the STEVAL-MKIGIBV5, to make it compatible with the STEVAL-MKI109V3 microcontroller board. An ad hoc plastic holder with a Fresnel lens (TMOS63-10) has been provided in the kit to enable the designer to verify the in-application performance of the device.

The STEVAL-MKIGIBV5 can be plugged into a standard DIL 24 socket. The kit supports the complete STHS34PF80 pin-out, and comes ready-to-use with the required decoupling capacitors on the power supply line.

This adapter is supported by the STEVAL-MKI109V3 motherboard, which includes a high performance 32-bit MCU functioning as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which it is possible to use the downloadable graphical user interface, or dedicated software routines for customized applications.

It is also possible to plug the board into an X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3, X-NUCLEO-IKS02A1 or X-NUCLEO-IKS4A1 board. The kit is supported by an X-CUBE-MEMS1 expansion software package for STM32 MCUs.
