1.1 Introduction

The EVM comes in a USB stick form factor, with an onboard MSP430F5528 microcontroller that interfaces with both the host computer and the TMP118 device. The TMP118 device is attached to a FPC board, which connects to the host board via FPC Connector. The perforations between the FPC Connector and host controller allows the user flexibility during evaluation:

  • The user can connect the TMP118 to the user's system or host.
  • The user can connect the EVM host and software to the user's system with TMP118 devices.
  • Longer, flexible boards allow the user to place sensors in the user's system without compromising response time.
  • Hole spacing is compatible with common 0.1 inch prototyping breadboards.

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the TMP118 evaluation module (EVM). A complete schematic diagram, printed-circuit board layouts, and bill of materials are included in this document. This user's guide details through the steps to operate the TMP118 evaluation module.
