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 TMP411 device. The module is designed with perforations between the sensor and host controller on the EVM board. The perforation allows the user flexibility in the evaluation:

  • The user can connect the TMP411 sensor breakout section to the user's system/host.
  • The user can connect the EVM host and software to the user's system with TMP411 devices.
  • Small individual boards allow the user to place sensors in the user's system or in a temperature-controlled environment to evaluate performance.
  • Hole spacing is compatible with common 0.1" prototyping breadboards.

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the TMP411EVM evaluation board by explaining how to set up and configure the software, describing the hardware, and reviewing various aspects of the software operation. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the TMP411EVM. This user's guide also provides information on the operating procedure, input and output connections, an electrical schematic, printed-circuit board (PCB) layout drawings, and a parts list for the EVM.
