2.1 Overview

The EVM is divided into three sections: the controller section, the breakable FPC Connector section and the FPC Board containing the TMP118 sensor. The breakable sensor portion can be detached to use the sensor in the following scenarios:

  • Using the sensor in a high temperature environment by soldering wires to the connector section and connecting to the MCU board via soldered wires or the available 0.1" header pins to retain GUI functionality.
  • Using the sensor section with the user's system by interfacing through I2C with the TMP118.
  • Using the controller section with TMP118 sensors in the user's system.
  • Using the TMP118 Sensor board and breakable FPC connector section to directly implement into user system.

The figure below highlights the EVM sections as well as some components that must be identified by the user to understand the purpose and use. The components are further explained in detail in the sections below.
