ADIEVAL-AD7147EBZ
Overview
The EVAL-AD7147EBZ is a dedicated evaluation board for the AD7147 CapTouch controller, designed to facilitate the development of capacitive touch interfaces. It features an on-board 8-bit MCU to handle data processing and communicates via a serial SPI interface. The board operates within a supply voltage range of 2.6V to 3.6V, making it suitable for low-power portable application prototyping.
Why Choose This Part
This evaluation kit includes the necessary cables and an embedded MCU, providing a complete out-of-the-box experience for sensor characterization. The SPI interface support allows for high-speed data acquisition from the capacitive-to-digital converter, while the 2.6V to 3.6V operating range aligns with standard lithium-ion and regulated power rails.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To begin evaluation, connect the board to a PC using the included cables and utilize the Analog Devices evaluation software to configure sensor thresholds and output data. Developers should review the AD7147 datasheet to understand the register map and SPI timing requirements for integration into their own firmware. The board serves as a reference layout for minimizing parasitic capacitance in PCB design.
