Renesas

The Bluetooth Low Energy Development Kit Pro for the DA14533 SmartBond TINY automotive system-on-chip (SoC) from Renesas includes a motherboard, daughterboard, and cables. It is the ideal platform for evaluating the performance of the small, low-power DA14533 in applications such as tire pressure monitoring and passive keyless entry. 

The kit provides users with the following capabilities:

  • Software development
  • Programming the DA14533 via JTAG or UART using the DA1453x software development kit supplied by Renesas
  • RF characterization
  • Hardware prototyping
  • Power measurement
  • 2 x auxiliary voltage/current measurement
  • Monitoring eight digital inputs 
  • Connecting MikroBUS™ modules
STMicroelectronics

The EVLVIPGAN100PD from STMicroelectronics is a 100 W USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 reference design for a USB Type-C® power adapter. 

It is an isolated power supply with a stand-alone USB PD controller. The evaluation board implements, at the primary side, a quasi-resonant flyback converter based on the ST VIPERGAN100, high-voltage flyback converter with optocoupler feedback for voltage regulation and a high-voltage gallium nitride (GaN) power switch. 

The converter combines a high-performance, low-voltage PWM controller chip with a 650 V start-up cell in a single package. The reference design achieves low standby power consumption thanks to the VIPERGAN100’s advanced power management and low quiescent current. 

To reduce the input mains current distortion, a power factor correction circuit based on the L6564 controller IC is used. At the secondary side, to increase system efficiency, rectification is based on the SRK1001 adaptive synchronous rectification controller.

The reference design also includes an STUSB4761 controller, which offers the benefits of a full hardware USB PD stack, allowing for robust, deterministic, and safe negotiation in line with USB PD standards.

STMicroelectronics

The X-NUCLEO-53L4A3 from STMicroelectronics is an expansion board for any STM32 Nucleo board equipped with Arduino R3 connectors which enables designers to develop applications using the VL53L4ED short-range time-of-flight (ToF) proximity sensor.

The expansion board is supplied with a cover glass holder in which designers can fit a spacer of 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm, and 1 mm height below the cover glass to simulate a variety of air gaps. A small oval cover glass fitting the sensor is included.

The kit includes:

  • Two different cover glass units to protect the sensor from dust
  • Compatible with STM32 Nucleo development boards
  • Equipped with Arduino® UNO R3 connectors
  • Full system software, including code examples and a graphical user interface
