The nPM1300
Evaluation Kit (EK) is a hardware platform used to evaluate the nPM1300
Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC).
Key features
- Dedicated Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C connection to power the nPM1300 PMIC
- Battery connectors that support Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor connection
for battery temperature monitoring
- Easy access to PMIC voltage outputs through male pin headers and probe loops
- No hardware changes needed for measuring key parameters
- Exposed jumper pins to:
- Onboard nPM Controller circuit for PMIC configuration when connected to a computer
- Plug-and-play connection to nPM PowerUP, a computer app that enables quick evaluation
and implementation of Nordic PMICs
- Evaluate without writing any code or performing any device programming, when used with
nPM PowerUP
- Use with a Nordic Development Kit (DK), or develop your own nPM1300 application
- Use with your own custom hardware, or develop your own nPM1300 application
