STMicroelectronics

The STM32U083C-DK Discovery kit from STMicroelectronics is a complete demonstration and development platform for the STM32U083MCT6 microcontroller. It may be used as a reference design for application development before porting to the final product.

The full range of hardware features on the board helps the designer to evaluate all the MCU’s peripherals including the USB 2.0 interface, segment LCD controller, capacitive touch-sensing channels, and temperature sensor. 

ARDUINO Uno V3, mikroBUS™ and extension connectors provide for easy connection to extension shields or application-specific daughterboards.

The STM32U083C-DK Discovery kit does not require any separate probe as it has an integrated STLINK-V2EC debugger/programmer. The kit  is operated by plugging it into a PC through a standard USB Type-A or USB Type-C®-to-USB Type-C cable.

The board is supported by the STM32CubeU0 embedded software package.

Diodes

This demonstration board uses the AL17052, a buck converter IC operating from a universal mains input voltage, to build a cost-effective solution for high-voltage buck converter applications. The AL17052 integrates a 700V MOSFET and can work with a single-winding inductor and very few external components to provide an accurate constant-voltage output and good dynamic performance.

Microchip

The DT100104 from Microchip is an add-on board for the CryptoAuth Trust Platform and other Microchip development platforms that contain a mikroBUSTM header. The board can be used to develop prototypes for applications which use the ATECC608B or ATECC08C CryptoauthenticationTM secure elements. This board offers an alternative to sample units that require a socket board for initial development and testing.

The DT100104 board features eight ATECC608C secure elements which are specified to provide Trust&GO, TrustFLEX, TrustCUSTOM, and TrustMANAGER functions. The board is supported by a user guide which provides a physical overview of the connections and switch settings implemented on the board.

Microchip

The PIC32CX-BZ3 and WBZ35x Curiosity board from Microchip is an all-in-one platform for testing the microcontroller and wireless functions of the WBZ35x multi-protocol MCU modules and the PIC32CX-BZ3 SoCs.

The PIC32CX-BZ3 and WBZ35x Curiosity board comes preconfigured with an out-of-the-box sensor application where data are sent over Bluetooth® LE. Additional Bluetooth and Zigbee 3.0 application examples are available in MPLAB Harmony v3.

In addition to the WBZ351 Arm® Cortex®-M4F MCU module with PCB antenna, the PIC32CX-BZ3 and WBZ35x Curiosity board features the following connection interfaces and peripherals:

  • mikroBUS™ socket
  • RGB LED
  • Ambient analog voltage temperature sensor
  • User button and LED
  • Onboard programmer/debugger circuit
  • External 32.768-kHz crystal
  • 64-Mbit QSPI Flash memory
  • Li-Po battery management and charging circuit

An Xplained Pro header interface also enables connections to extension boards like the QT7 Xplained Pro extension kit. This can be used to evaluate the capacitive touch capabilities of the PIC32CX-BZ3 SoC for HMI applications.

Renesas

Renesas offers the RRH62000-EVK evaluation kit for the RRH62000 all-in-one integrated sensor module for critical air quality measurements. These measurements include particulate matter, total volatile organic compounds, indoor air quality index, equivalent CO2, temperature and relative humidity in a 46.6 mm x 34.8 mm x 12 mm package.

The RRH62000-EVK comprises the RRH62000 sensor module, an ESCom board, a USB cable and a quick-start guide. When the RRH62000 module is interfaced with the ESCom board, it becomes easy to connect to a Windows PC for plug-and-play evaluation using the provided software.
