2 Hardware

The EVMs are an easy-to-use platform for evaluating the main features and performance of the TMAG5x73 devices. The EVM includes a graphical user interface (GUI) used to read and write registers, as well as view and save measurement results. The TMAG5273EVM also includes a 3D printed Rotate & Push Module to test the common functions of angle measurement and push button with a single device. Instead of the Rotate & Push Module, the TMAG5173EVM contains the joystick module.

The EVMs are intended to provide basic functional evaluation of the devices. The layout is not intended to be a model for the target circuit, nor is the layout laid out for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing. The Sensor Controller Board (SCB) interfaces the EVM to the PC GUI. Please note that the SCB, TMAG5273EVM, and TMAG5173EVM are all sold separately. The TMAG5x73 EVM PCBs can be broken in half across the score line so that the TMAG5x73A1 parts of the EVM are on one PCB and the TMAG5x73A2 parts of the EVM are on the other PCB.
