LC717A00ARGEVK Datasheet/PDFThe LC717A00ARGEVK evaluation board is specially designed to illustrate the application of Logatec’s family of integrated sensors consisting of single-axis MEMS capacitive proof mass accelerometers, tilt imagers, gyroscopes and magnetic field sensors. It is the first integrated evaluation board combining the features of single-axis MEMS capacitive proof mass accelerometers, tilt imagers, gyroscopes and magnetic field sensors.
The LC717A00ARGEVK evaluation board is a compact, easy-to-use platform to quickly evaluate the performance of Logatec integrated sensors. It enables users to easily prototype, evaluate, and develop sensing applications with plug and play connection. The evaluation board is designed for engineers with minimal knowledge in either sensor technology or development tools for sensors, allowing them to easily use the board to evaluate and prototype their sensing requirements.
The LC717A00ARGEVK evaluation board works by controlling and measuring the output from the sensors that are integrated. It acquires the sensor’s data through a serial interface and then processes the data through an ARINC-429 protocol. It then stores the processed data in a Flash memory module.
The main application field of the LC717A00ARGEVK evaluation board is in the field of automotive control and monitoring, including airbag deployment and active suspension control. In addition, it can also be used in consumer electronic products, such as gaming consoles and Bluetooth headsets, and medical devices, such as pulse oximeters and ECG monitors.
The LC717A00ARGEVK evaluation board’s working principle is based on the integration of the main sensing components. The three main components are the integrated single-axis MEMS capacitive proof mass accelerometers, tilt imagers and gyroscopes. These components are integrated into a single package.
The MEMS capacitive proof mass accelerometers use capacitive technology to measure the acceleration of a mass, which is used to determine the direction of the acceleration and its magnitude. The tilt imagers, on the other hand, are capable of calculating the angles of incidence and tilt at a specified resolution. The gyroscopes measure angular rate, and can be used to determine the rate of change of an object’s orientation in space.
The integrated package of the LC717A00ARGEVK evaluation board includes a control unit, which is responsible for controlling the integration and measurement of the data from the sensors. It also includes an interface to the serial interface, which is specifically designed to work with the ARINC-429 protocol. Finally, it has a Flash memory module to store the collected data.
Overall, the LC717A00ARGEVK evaluation board is a very useful tool in the application field of automotive control and monitoring, consumer electronic products and medical devices. Its integrated package of single-axis MEMS capacitive proof mass accelerometers, tilt imagers and gyroscopes, and its ARINC-429 protocol and Flash memory module make it an ideal tool for quick and easy evaluation and prototyping for sensing applications.
