Purchase your SEN-GEN6-SKT | Socket Board for FXLS9 and FXP7 Sensors

1. Out of the Box

The NXP analog product development boards provide an easy-to-use platform for evaluating NXP products. The boards support a range of analog, mixed-signal and power solutions. They incorporate monolithic integrated circuits and system-in-package devices that use proven high-volume technology. NXP products offer longer battery life, a smaller form factor, reduced component counts, lower cost and improved performance in powering state-of-the-art systems.

This page will guide you through the process of setting up and using the SEN-GEN6-SKT board.

3. Configure Hardware

The board supports the FXLS9xxxx and FXPS7xxxx sensor families.

For easier board configuration, the jumpers have been colored per category/protocol. They are listed below:

Sensor compatibility or power supply related: black
I²C: green
DSI3: blue
PSI5: red
SPI: N/A

By default, the board is configured for FXLS9xxxx devices in SPI mode. However, the configuration can easily be modified using the jumpers.

By default, most jumpers are floating. Floating means they are attached to their proper connector but remain unconnected. The reference to "DNP" means “Do not populate”, meaning it can be removed or unshorted.

3.1 Insert the sensor into the socket

The following figure illustrates the proper way to insert the sensor into the socket. For proper connection, align the circle on the IC to the arrowhead (identified in yellow) on the mounting socket.

3.2 Connect the board to a compatible ECU

The SEN-SPI-BOX has two dedicated interfaces suitable for SPI and I²C communications, an MDI connector and a Beagle connector. The NXP MDI connector supports the SEN-SPI-BOX kit. The Beagle connector is an industrial standard and may be coupled to any Beagle compatible analyzer.
