Features of SMOD711
SMOD711 is an evaluation kit that can easily evaluate combustible gas sensor SGAS711 provided by Renesas (former IDT).
Gases that can be measured are hydrogen, methane, propane, LPG, natural gas, and Freon.
This evaluation kit has the following features:
JTAG for firmware writing, USB connector for communication with PC, and control microcomputer are installed in the total PCB area of 8.9cm².
・Because the power supply is controlled within the board unit, operation can be performed simply by supplying a 9VDC power supply.
・The control is preloaded with an operable program, so it can be operated without "setup required".
- Supports all modes for operating sensors (feedback heater control, temperature and sensor measurement sequences)
・Simple ASCII-based communication protocol enables communication with the host controller
・USB available
