Product details
Overview
SI72XX-WD-KIT from Silicon Labs is an evaluation kit for Si72xx Hall-effect magnetic position sensors, enabling rapid prototyping of angular position, revolution counting, and magnetic field sensing across eight distinct demos using the EFM32 Happy Gecko STK. It includes six postage-stamp-sized (PS) boards-Si7201-B01V-EB (switch), Si7202-B01V-EB (latch), Si7210-B00V-EB (I²C), Si7211-B00V-EB (analog), Si7212-B00V-EB (PWM), and Si7213-B00V-EB (SENT)-plus the Si72XX-EXP Rev2 baseboard, ribbon cable, magnets, CR2032 battery, and micro USB cable.
For engineers reviewing the SI72XX-WD-KIT datasheet, SI72XX-WD-KIT pinout, SI72XX-WD-KIT application, or SI72XX-WD-KIT equivalent, this kit supports hands-on validation of magnetic sensing interfaces-including I²C, analog voltage, PWM, SENT, and digital switch/latch outputs-across automotive position sensing, industrial rotary encoders, tamper detection, and precision angular measurement use cases.
Technical Context
The SI72XX-WD-KIT centers on the Si72XX-EXP Rev2 board, which hosts two Si7210-B02/B03 I²C Hall sensors (addresses 0x31 and 0x32) for quadrature-based wheel angular position and revolution counting. It interfaces with postage-stamp-sized PS boards via a 6-pin ribbon cable, supporting hot-swap evaluation of six sensor variants without reprogramming or hardware modification.
All eight demos run on the EFM32 Happy Gecko STK's MCU and LCD display, with real-time updates every second. Calibration for angular position uses a 36-point lookup table (10° intervals); uncalibrated accuracy is ±5°, improving to better than ±1° after calibration-requiring USB power or fresh CR2032 due to flash programming voltage requirements.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the primary purpose of the SI72XX-WD-KIT?
The SI72XX-WD-KIT is a comprehensive evaluation kit for Silicon Labs' Si72xx Hall-effect magnetic sensors. It enables engineers to validate eight distinct sensing modalities-including angular position, revolution counting, I²C magnetic field reporting, internal temperature measurement, switch/latch behavior, analog voltage output, PWM output, and SENT output-using a single EFM32 Happy Gecko STK platform and interchangeable postage-stamp-sized sensor boards.
Does the SI72XX-WD-KIT include calibrated sensors out of the box?
No-the SI72XX-WD-KIT does not ship with pre-calibrated angular position lookup tables. Calibration for the wheel angular position demo requires manual execution: press and hold PB1 while pressing PB0 on the STK, then carefully align the wheel at each of 36 positions (0°–350° in 10° increments). Uncalibrated accuracy is ±5°; calibrated accuracy exceeds ±1°.
Which Si72xx sensor variants are physically included in the SI72XX-WD-KIT?
The SI72XX-WD-KIT includes six postage-stamp-sized boards: Si7201-B01V-EB (omnipolar switch), Si7202-B01V-EB (bipolar latch), Si7210-B00V-EB (I²C + temperature), Si7211-B00V-EB (analog output), Si7212-B00V-EB (PWM output), and Si7213-B00V-EB (SENT output). All are SOT23-packaged and factory-programmed for ±20 mT full-scale unless otherwise configured via software.
Can the SI72XX-WD-KIT be used without a USB connection?
Yes-the SI72XX-WD-KIT operates standalone using the included CR2032 coin cell battery for demos that do not require flash programming. However, angular position calibration demands higher voltage and must be performed either with USB power connected or with a freshly installed CR2032 battery to ensure reliable flash write operation on the EFM32 MCU.
Is the SI72XX-WD-KIT recommended for new designs?
No-per Silicon Labs' UG288 Rev. 0.2 documentation, the SI72XX-WD-KIT is marked "Not Recommended for New Designs." It remains fully functional for evaluation and legacy design support, but new projects should consult Silicon Labs' current-generation Hall sensor evaluation platforms and latest Si72xx family documentation for updated features, qualification status, and long-term availability assurance.
