Overview
The main purpose of the SSC Evaluation Board is connection with the ZSSC3154 IC. The PC sends commands and data via its USB port (configured as a virtual COM port) to the SSC CB. The microcontroller (µC) on the SSC CB interprets these commands and relays them to the ZSSC3154 in the I2C™ † or OWI communication mode. The µC will also forward any data bytes from the ZSSC3154 back to the PC via the USB connection. These bytes can be sensor and temperature readings to be displayed by the PC software, raw ADC data used during calibration, or EEPROM data. The SSC CB µC controls the power signals required for entering the Command Mode.
