NXP Semiconductors PF5030 Safety PMIC Evaluation Board

NXP Semiconductors PF5030 Safety PMIC Evaluation Board (KITPF5030FRDMEVM) provides easy development of the PF5030 Multi-Channel PMICs with flexibility that allows exploration of all the PMIC features and makes measurements on the main part of the application. All regulators are accessible through connectors. Nonuser signals (like DC/DC switcher nodes) are mapped on test points. The KL25Z Freedom connected to the board and the PF5030 NXP GUI software allows complete configuration and control of the automotive PF5030 PMICs. The board can be used in a standalone mode and controlled with a USB interface.

KITPF5030FRDMEVM is populated with a PF5030 family superset part for device evaluation. The PF5030 part soldered on the board can be programmed twice (OTP). Users are able to test as many configurations as needed in emulation mode before and after programming. No extra tools or boards are required for device programming.
