STMicroelectronics

The NUCLEO-WBA65RI from STMicroelectronics is a wireless board which demonstrates the ultra low-power radio in the STM32WBA6 series wireless MCUs. The multi-protocol versions of the STM32WBA6 series support the Bluetooth® Low Energy networking, Thread, Matter, and Zigbee protocols, as well as providing IEEE 802.15.4-2015 signaling capability.

The board’s ARDUINO Uno V3 and ST morpho headers allow for easy expansion of the functionality of the STM32 Nucleo open development platform with a wide choice of specialized shields.

 

Other features include: 

  • Three user LEDs
  • Three user and one reset push buttons
  • USB Type-C® connector 
  • Comprehensive free software libraries and examples available with the STM32CubeWBA MCU package
onsemi

The NCN26010XMNEVK from onsemi demonstrates the basic functionality of the NCN26010 Ethernet controller and transceiver, and doubles as a laboratory tool to allow engineers to develop embedded software drivers for the NCN26010 device.

The evaluation kit consists of the NCN26010BMNEVB bridge board and the NCN26010XMNEVB 10BASE-T1S evaluation board.

onsemi

The NCN26000XMNEVB board for the onsemi NCN26000 10BASE-T1S Ethernet transceiver enables developers to evaluate the device’s performance in networks connected by unshielded twisted-pair cable. 

This board provides a connection to third-party microcontroller evaluation boards which support a Clause 4-compliant MII interface. Additionally, it includes a USB Type-C® connector, facilitating connection to any PC based on a Linux® or Windows operating system. This enables PCs to join a 10BASE-T1S multi-drop network. The board can also be used to monitor traffic on the multi-drop segment by running the Wireshark network protocol analyzer on a PC.

Allegro Microsystems

Allegro MicroSystems evaluation boards simplify the evaluation process for its tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) current sensors. The boards provide test points for convenient access to device pins, allowing for quick measurement and validation without the need for complex test set-ups. 

The CTD455-BB-48B5 board provides a simple way to evaluate the performance of the CT455 XtremeSense™ TMR current sensor. The CT455 on the board senses and translates the magnetic field into a linear analog output voltage. The current sensor achieves a total error output of less than 1% over voltage and temperature. 

Key features:

  • Preset magnetic field range: ±6 mT or ±48 mT
  • Low-noise performance
  • Optimized for high dV/dt applications
  • Less than 300 ns response time
  • 5 V supply voltage
  • Operating-temperature range: -40°C to 125°C
Microchip

The EV99F34A evaluation board from Microchip is based on its PD77718 power-over-Ethernet (PoE) manager and PD77010 PoE controller. 

 

Operating in controller mode using the PD77010, the EV99F34A board demonstrates eight IEEE 802.3bt 2-pair ports using the PD77718T3, and eight IEEE 802.3bt 4-pair ports using two PD77718T4 devices. The evaluation system provides designers with a suitable environment for evaluating the performance and implementation of these PoE managers and controller. The firmware supplied by Microchip supports both 4-pair and 2-pair operation. 

Key features: 

  • IEEE 802.3af/at/bt Type 4 standard compliant
  • Switch-domain USB-C® interface to be connected to a PC with Microchip GUI
  • PoE controller manual reset and disable ports
  • LED status indication for all ports 
  • Single power source 
  • Operating-temperature range: 0°C to 40°C
Renesas

The RZ/G3E Evaluation Board Kit from Renesas, which consists of a system-on-module (SOM) board and a carrier board, is ideal for evaluating the features of the 64-bit RZ/G3E microprocessor. The module board is compatible with the SMARC v2.1 standard, and provides a reference design basis for module-based product development.

The SOM includes:

  • 4 Gbytes of LPDDR4x SDRAM
  • 16 Mbytes of QSPI Flash memory
  • 64 Gbytes of eMMC memory
  • Two MicroSD slots 
  • Parallel interface
  • I3C connector
  • JTAG connector
  • 8-channel ADC 
  • Current monitor
