Introduction
The PGAxxxEVM-037 is a fully-assembled evaluation module (EVM) designed to provide evaluation of the
PGA902, PGA904, and PGA302 pressure sensor signal conditioner ICs. The user is able to configure the
EVM by using any of the available digital interfaces (I2C, OWI, and SENT) depending on which device
and EVM are being used. For ease of use, the most basic evaluation can be completed with only the
PGAxxxEVM-037, a voltage supply capable of at least 7-V output, and a Microsoft
®
Windows
®
PC with the
PGAxxxEVM GUI installed.
Temperature and pressure inputs can be simulated by the onboard
Resistive Bridge Emulator
(see
), or the user can connect external temperature and pressure sensors to evaluate their
performance in conjunction with the PGAxxx device.
