AS6200 Adapter Board
1
Introduction
The AS6200 and AS6200C adapter boards are a small PCB allowing a simple and quick evaluation
of the AS6200 and AS6200C digital temperature sensors without the need to design a custom PCB.
This small form factor board is fully assembled with the AS6200/C temperature sensor and its
necessary external components.

Getting Started
The AS6200/C adapter board is ideal for rapid setup of a digital temperature sensor. To get started
connect the board to your microcontroller configuration as described in
Figure 3: I²C connection.
Add a command in your source code to request two bytes from the selected I²C address. Finally
convert the returned data as described in chapter
4.2 Temperature Register
to get the actual
temperature value.

R1, R2 and R3 are pull-up resistors for the I²C interface and the Alert pin.
Depending on the application, it is recommended to either populate the decoupling capacitor C1 or
C2.

AS6200/C Configuration
With the address selector, it is possible to choose the I²C address of the device. The included
jumper is an easy way of setting the I²C address of the sensor. The address selector must not be
left open.

Power Supply and Connections
The PCB has to be connected to an external microcontroller. P1 is populated with a 1x5 pin header
and is required for power supply as well as I²C communication. In addition to that it can be used to
monitor the interrupt status via pin 5 (IRQ).
