Nordic Semiconductor nPM1300-EK PMIC Evaluation Kit

Nordic Semiconductor nPM1300-EK PMIC Evaluation Kit allows simple evaluation and code-free configuration of the nPM1300 Power Management ICs (PMICs). Connect to the nPM PowerUP app found in nRF Connect for Desktop and configure all settings of the nPM1300 through an intuitive GUI and export as code for implementation into a user's MCU application. The nPM1300-EK offers JST battery connectors for batteries with or without internal NTC and male pin headers to access all nPPM1300 connections. In addition, three LEDs and four pushbuttons are implemented for ease of use when evaluating the GPIO and LED diver functionality of the PMIC.
