TLE5501 Eval Kit

 

General description

1

General description

The Eval Kit consists of:
• an Infineon XMC1100 Boot Kit (microcontroller)
• the TLE5501 Angle Shield which can be plugged onto the Boot Kit
• a “magnetic knob” that can be mounted on top of the shield

TLE5501 Angle Shield

The Eval Kit is complemented by the TLE5501 Eval Kit GUI (Evaluation Kit for Angle Sensors window, see

Figure 3

).

For connection to the PC a micro USB cable is required.

Notes

1. The Eval Kit assumes that the sensor gets 5 V via USB and the integrated regulator on the XMC Boot Kit.
2. All calculations are made with the above assumption! If you create your own setup please also take into 

account VDD monitoring. Please respect the instructions in the TLE5501 E0002 Safety Manual.
