NXP Semiconductors PF7100 Evaluation Board (KITPF7100FRDMEVM)

NXP Semiconductors PF7100 Evaluation Board (KITPF7100FRDMEVM) is a demonstration and development platform for the PF7100 7-Channel Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC). The PF7100 PMIC is specifically designed to be the primary power management building block for high-end multimedia application processors from the i.MX 8 series. The PF7100 is also capable of providing a power solution to the high end i.MX 6 series, as well as many non-NXP processors.

The PF7100 Evaluation Board includes a pre-mounted PF7100 PMIC. The PF7100 on the board is not OTP pre-programmed, allowing the user to define the OTP configuration for the device. The Evaluation Board integrates a communication bridge for the included FRDM-KL25Z Freedom Board to interface with the NXP GUI software to fully configure and control the PF7100 PMIC.
