SSC Communication Board
The SSC Communication Board is included in Renesas' modular SSC Evaluation Kits for select sensor signal conditioner (SSC) ICs. It is also part of the modular SSC Mass...
The ZSSC3018KIT Evaluation Kit provides the hardware needed for configuration, calibration and evaluation of the ZSSC3018 Sensor Signal Conditioner (SSC) IC. The user's PC can communicate with the ZSSC3018 IC socketed on the ZSSC3018 SSC Evaluation Board via the SSC Communication Board through a USB connection. The Evaluation Kit Software is available on-line for free download.
The Evaluation Board can connect to the user's sensor or to the SSC Sensor Replacement Board (SRB). The SRB provides a replacement for an actual sensor and can be used for the first step of calibration or a dry-run calibration. On the SRB, the simulated resistive sensor signal is controlled by a potentiometer. As an alternative, there is also a sensor replacement circuit that can be selected via jumpers on the Evaluation Board.

Boards can also be ordered separately. To enable product comparisons, this modular kit is compatible with other select Renesas devices. Contact your local sales representative for more information.
A brief introduction and overview of IDT's (acquire by Renesas) sensor signal conditioner evaluation kits. Evaluation kits generally consist of three parts: a communication interface board, a device board, and a sensor simulator board - all connected together. A sophisticated software GUI accompanies the kit, enabling an engineer to learn how to use the part rapidly, do quick prototyping, and practice calibrations.
