1.2 Kit Contents

The EVM contains one LDC5072-Q1 soldered onto the EVM PCB. A 50kΩ trim potentiometer is also included to help the designer change the Automatic Gain Control settings and evaluate the LDC5072-Q1 in a wide variety of use cases. The kit also contains two unpopulated PC boards, one for the inductive sensor and one for the target that rotates close to the sensor PC board. These boards are included in this kit to provide you with a convenient start to using the EVM.

If the included sensor and target PC boards do not meet your requirements, you can design your own using the LDC507X-SENSOR-DESIGN-TOOL, which is available as a free download from TI.com. For more information about the tool, see the LDC5072-Q1 Sensor Design Tool Getting Started Guide. The included sensor and target PC boards are designed using the LDC507X-SENSOR-DESIGN-TOOL in the default settings.
