The USB Interface & Programmer Box is an universal evaluation tool for magnetic position sensors with I2C or SPI interface. It comes with a 10-way cable to connect to a supported product on an existing board. The I2C or SPI wires are used for the communication (3.3V mode) and additionally the sensor can be powered from the USB I&P Box. By using the USB I&P Box Software, it is possible to read out the sensor data, write a configuration and to permanently program a configuration. Hardware and Software requirements: PC with Windows 7 or later and a USB-A port

The Evaluation Kit is designed to test and evaluate the features of AS8579 capacitive sensor. The Evaluation Kit includes the I&P-Box (Programmer), evaluation pcb with sensor IC, a cable and a USB-stick with all necessary software.

The Adapter Board is designed for first evaluation of AS8579 capacitive sensors features and benefits. The PCB is equipped with all basic necessary components for easy plug'n'play evaluation. For communication and configuration of Sensor the adapter board can be connected either to an external microcontroller or to the USB I&P Box.
