Microchip Technology 3-Lead Contact mikroBUS™ Socket Board (EV27Y72A) enables prototyping with CryptoAuthentication™ devices that support the 3-Lead Contact package type. The Socket Board can be used with any of the Microchip microcontroller boards that support a MikroElektronika mikroBUS interface. The Socket Board dimensions match the large-size add-on board defined in the mikroBUS specification. Through an adapter board, the Socket Board can also be used with Microchip development boards that support an Xplained Pro interface. The Socket Board allows users to reuse the board with multiple 3-lead contact sample devices for a given application or multiple different applications. The 3-Lead Contact mikroBUS Socket Board provides an inexpensive option to configure and test the device and its features before mass production.
The Microchip Technology 3-Lead Contact mikroBUS Socket Board supports a Single Wire Interface (SWI) and a Single Wire / Pulse Width Modulation Interface (SWI-PWM). Any given Microchip cryptographic device will support either one or the other interface but never both. A jumper is provided on the board to select between these two interfaces. Each interface can be run with a direct connection to power or by using parasitic power.
