2 Hardware

The EVM is an easy-to-use platform for evaluating the main features and performance of the TMAG5170. The EVM includes a graphical user interface (GUI) used to read and write registers, as well as view and save measurement results. The EVM is also compatible with a 3D printed Rotate & Push Module that can be purchased separately, ROTATEPUSH-MAG-ACC, to test the common functions of angle measurement and push button with a single device. Additional 3D Print modules are also available: JOYSTICK-MAG-ACC, SLIDEBY-MAG-ACC, HEADON-MAG-ACC.

The EVM is 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 EVM laid out for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing. The EVM has both sensitivity variations of the TMAG5170 installed, and can break into two separate boards as needed. The EVM is intended to interface with the TI-SCB, but can be used stand-alone if desired.
