Pressure Sensor 2GO kit
June 2019
Content
>
The KP2xx Pressure 2go is a budget-priced evaluation kit enabling the
possibility to evaluate several derivatives of the Infineon KP2xx pressure
sensor:
–
KP215F1701MAP:
Analog Manifold Air Pressure
–
KP229E3518TurboMAP:
Analog Manifold Air Pressure
–
KP236BAP:
Analog Barometric Air Pressure
–
KP254dBAP:
Digital Barometric Air Pressure (SPI)
–
KP275DigitalTurboTMAP
Manifold Air Pressure (SENT)
The KP215, KP229 and KP236 variants provide an analog interface, the
KP254 provides SPI and the KP275 provides SENT digital communication
interface.
>
The kit includes a pneumatic straight threaded-to-tube adapter mounted on
top of the pressure sensor.
>
The Evaluation Kit includes a GUI software application that can be

Hardware Description
>
The evaluation kit hardware is built around the
XMC1100 Infineon target microcontroller(2),
ARM M0 based. In addition, the hardware
includes an on-board debugger
microcontroller (3) implemented with the
Infineon XMC4200 running a SEGGER Jlink
debugger.
>
The sensor (6) is placed on a break-apart
region of the PCB so it can be removed an
placed in a system.
>
The sensor inputs/outputs are easily
accessible (5).
>
To connect to the PC, a micro-USB (1) to USB
cable is required
-
not provided inside the
package.
>
The microcontroller half (1, 2, 3) is the same
for all 3 PCB supports.
