Development board for MEMS sensors

24 July 2013 Design Automation

Premier Farnell announced the launch of an exclusive multi-MEMS development board for Freescale Semiconductor’s Xtrinsic sensors, allowing designers to understand and test the latest sensing technologies with an accelerometer, pressure sensor and magnetometer to measure motion, altitude or pressure, detect magnetic fields and determine physical position.

This low-cost board is designed to work with a range of key applications including mobiles and tablets, remote controls, game consoles, navigation and medical devices, and comes with a Freescale Freedom FRDM-KL25Z platform to help demonstrate the sensor board functionality. The platform is enabled by the energy-efficient Kinetis L Series KL1x and KL2x MCUs families built on the ARM Cortex-M0+ processor.

Device drivers and sample codes are included to cater for the easy evaluation and demonstration of the performance of the sensors. In addition, each of the development boards comes equipped with a USB cable and quick start guide.
