2 Getting Started

The evaluation kit requires one time installation of FTDI CDM Driver for the USB-MPSSE cable if it

is not already installed on the computer. The installation file can be found in the USB Memory Stick.

If there is an issue about the installations, please refer to www.ftdichip.com for more information.

The AS726x Spectral Sensing –iSPI software does not need extra installation. Please copy the

following files to any folder you would like to work with and run the .exe file to start the GUI.

3.2 Power Supply

The AS726x-iSPI module is powered by FTDI C232HM-DDSHL-0 USB-MPSSE cable that connects

to a personal computer. The voltage of the supply is 3.3V.

3.3 UART/ I2C Interface

AS726x device supports either UART or I2C interface as the communication path. By default,

AS726x-iSPI demo kit is shipped as using I2C interface. AS726x Spectral Sensing iSPI GUI

software can be used to evaluate AS726x features.

If the UART interface is desired, please adjust the jumper setting as below. Any terminal software

configured as 115200 Baud Rate, 8-Bit Data, No Plarity, 1-Bit Stop would be fine.

Please note that you may need to reset the USB-MPSSE cable by plug-out/plug-in when you switch

UART and I2C interface during your evaluation.

Figure 6. Generic Application

A generic application of AS726x is to shine light rays to a target and AS726x produces outputs

based on the reflected light rays as Figure 6. So LED selection is determined by the spectral

responsivity of reflected light and characteristics of the target. For example, if the target is expected

to absorb 680nm light and the application needs to distinguish the target from others, a broadband

white LED might be used as the light source with AS7263 and the 680nm channel should be

checked. Various applications may require different light sources.

LEDs can be powered either by onboard 3.3V rail or by an external supply. If 3.3V rail is used,

please populate LEDs on D6/D7 and install a zero ohms resistor on R5. If 3.3V supply is not high

enough for some higher forward voltage LEDs, an external supply can be connected to the test

point, V and the current limit resistor R11 should be installed. Please note that R5 has to be

removed when connect external supply to the module.

The AS726x can drive LEDs with 12.5mA, 25mA, 50mA, or 100mA. There is also an indicator LED,

D5, onboard. The LEDs can be controlled and configured with the vitual I2C register, 0x07 (the

Figure 7. Register for LED Configuration

For UART interface, AT command ATLED1 = 100/0 to turn the LEDs D6/D7 ON/OFF and ATLEDC

= 0xXY (one byte) configures the LED current. X sets the LED current and Y configures the

indicator LED current. ATLED0 and ATLEDC controls/configures the indicator LED, D5.

Figure 8. AT Commands for LED Control

When ever the board is powered, the LED should be on for a short time and off. If the LED keeps

flashing, it implys something wrong in the communication between AS726x device and the flash

memory.

3.5 Others

AS726x-iSPI module can be wired to customer controller for development/evaluation. The test

points, SDA/SCL, can be used for monitoring UART/I2C bus transaction. Also pin 6 of J2 provides

the connection to INT. If interrupt is required to get the sensor data, this pin will be convienient for

watching interrupt signal.

4 Software Description

This evaluation kit comes with the Spectral Sensor dashboard software running on a Windows

computer for evaluating AS726x features. The USB Data Stick has the application notes for the

Spectral Sensor software. Please refer to the document for more information to use the software.
