Introduction
The document provides an overview of the ENS210 sensor board and covers the following topics:
board general description, sensor board interface and ENS210 connection.

ENS210 Sensor Board General Description
The ENS210 sensor board, as shown in Figure 1, is an evaluation platform for the ENS210 device.
It contains an ENS210 and has I2C/power interface which is compatible with the USB-I2C dongle.
Therefore, the sensor board is also called a dongle shield.
Figure 1 ENS210 Sensor Board
The sensor board has the following key features:
Flex foil as carrier with small dimension (61 mm length × 12.5 mm width).
Board interface with power (VDD, GND) and I2C Signal (SCL, SDA).
Sensor chip supports Standard I2C mode (100 kHz), Fast I2C mode (400 kHz) and clock
stretching.
Sensor board supports 1.71 V to 3.6 V power supply range.
Test points on board (D, -, +, C) for power and I2C Signal.
Also note:
By plugging the board interface into the USB-I2C dongle as shown in Figure 2, I2C
commands can be given via the serial port. Most notably, sensor measurement values can
be read.

Figure 3 Interface Pinout – Sensor Board View
The sensor board interface, SV2 in the silk print, carries four lines: VDD/GND (power) and
SCL/SDA (I2C). For mechanical stability, the interface has a double amount of pins: 8 instead of 4.
Each line is connected to two pins. The wiring has rotational symmetry. This has the advantage that
the sensor board can be inserted top up or bottom up, both are electrically equivalent. The
schematic of the connector is shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 Interface Connection
There are four test points which are physically located in the middle of the sensor board as shown
in Figure 5. “D” for SDA; ‘-’ for GND; “+” for VDD; “C” for SCL. For a quick integration, cut the board
from the dash line, and solder wires from test points to the target device.

ENS210 Connection
Figure 6 shows how the ENS210 is connected. The decoupling capacitor C14 (100 nF) is placed as
close as possible to ENS210 (IC5). The middle pad (pin 5 of ENS210) is connected to GND.
