Information

Texas Instruments Sensor Hub Booster-
Pack (BOOSTXL-SENSHUB) is an add-on
board designed to fi t the Tiva™ C Series
TM4C123G LaunchPad along with all of TI’s
MCU LaunchPads. It is a Tiva platform for
evaluating the use of ARM
®
Cortex™-M4F
based TM4C devices in sensor fusion ap-
plications, demonstrating the mathematical
and algorithm computation capabilities of
the M4F. The stackable headers of the Tiva C
Series TM4C123G LaunchPad BoosterPack
XL interface also demonstrate how easy
it is to expand the functionality of a Tiva C
Series LaunchPad when interfacing to other
peripherals via BoosterPacks (BPs). The Sen-
sor Hub BP has an example application that
uses much of the functionality offered in this
platform when used with a Tiva C LaunchPad
and it provides many additional options and
capabilities for end users to explore.
