1.1 FDC1004EVM

The FDC1004EVM is divided in three sections:

  1. USB to I2C section: this has the purpose to interface the communication of FDC1004 to a USB port.
  2. FDC1004 section: this section embeds FDC1004 capacitive to digital converter.
  3. Sensor section: this section contains a capacitive sensor that can be used for both human proximity and simple gesture recognitions..

The EVM has precut lines on the borders of each section that allow for a flexible and specific system design. As an example of the flexibility of this design, the sensor can be replaced with a customer sensor, or the MCU section can be separated to allow for a remote placement of the FDC1004.
