AFE4403EVM: Inquiry about using AFE4403EVM

Part Number: AFE4403EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE4403

Tool/software:

1) According to the user guide, the EVM can be used with the SFH7050 sensor. When purchasing the AFE4403EVM, is a board with the SFH7050 already soldered included, along with all the necessary connection cables?

2) If the SFH7050 sensor board is not provided, do I need to design and use my own board for the SFH7050? Or is it possible to request such a board from TI?

3) Is the GUI usable on Windows 10 or Windows 11 environments? If not, are there alternative ways to use the device?

Thank you.

  • Hello Jo Hyojin,

    1) The AFE4403EVM comes with an OSRAM SFH7050 sensor board, along with a DB9 to 8 pin header sensor cable to interface with the EVM. Full kit contents can be found in Section 2.2 of the AFE4403EVM user guide.

    2) See above.

    3) The AFE4403 GUI is only supported on Windows 7. However, users have been able to successfully use the GUI on Windows 10 using the instructions here.

    Regards,

    Payton
