e-peas EVK10300 Evaluation Board (2AAEM10300C0011)

e-peas EVK10300 Evaluation Board (2AAEM10300C0011) is a demonstration platform for the AEM10300 Ambient Energy Battery Charger IC. The AEM10300 is an integrated energy management circuit that extracts DC power from an ambient energy harvesting source to store energy in a storage element. The AEM10300 allows developers to extend battery lifetime and ultimately eliminate the primary energy storage element in a large range of applications.

The e-peas EVK10300 Evaluation Board features a pre-mounted AEM10300 in a QFN-28 package, along with all the needed components to operate the device. The Evaluation Board allows easy connection to the energy harvester and the storage element. It also provides all the configuration access to set the device in any of the modes described in the datasheet. The control and status signals are available on standard pin headers, allowing users to wire for any usage scenario and evaluate the relevant performances.
