STMicroelectronics

The STEVAL-PMIC25V1 from STMicroelectronics is a power management IC (PMIC) evaluation board for the highly integrated STPMIC25. This PMIC manages the power requirements of the core, memory and interfaces of the STM32MP2x series microprocessors and other applications microprocessors.

The kit includes a USB dongle, which provides access via I2C interface to the configuration registers of the STPMIC25, where voltage settings, power sequences, protection thresholds and other parameters can be set.

The board includes header connectors for external access to the embedded regulators and switches in the PMIC, as well as internal routing via jumpers to satisfy any physical configuration requirements.

The passive components on the board are chosen for optimal performance across most operating conditions. Three push buttons and digital I/Os allow the engineer to trigger the digital controls of the PMIC.

  • Real-time programming and debugging
  • Graphics interface
  • 100/10 Mbytes/s Ethernet
  • High-Speed USB Type-C® connection
  • Full-Speed USB connection

STMicroelectronics

The STEVAL-MKI250KA demonstration kit from STMicroelectronics comprises: 

  • STEVAL-MKI250A biosensor board, which provides access to the complete pinout of the ST1VAFE3BX vertical analog front-end (vAFE) together with the required decoupling capacitors on the power-supply lines
  • STEVAL-MKE006A and STEVAL-MKE007A electrode boards

An ECG cable with a 3.5 mm phone jack can be plugged in when the STEVAL-MKE007A electrode board is used.

The STEVAL-MKI250KA kit is compatible with the STEVAL-MKI109V3 and STEVAL-MKI109D motherboards.

The kit includes a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller functioning as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which it is possible to use the downloadable MEMS Studio graphical user interface software, or dedicated software routines for customized applications.

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.

Microchip

The Curiosity PIC64GX1000 Kit ES evaluation kit from Microchip enables designers to immediately get started using the PIC64GX1000 microprocessor, which features four 64-bit RISC-V cores and is capable of simultaneously running a real-time operating system or bare-metal system alongside a Linux® OS.

The Curiosity PIC64GX1000 evaluation kit is well suited for testing MIPI CSI-2®, HDMI, SPI, I2C, QSPI, DDR, microSD and Gigabit Ethernet applications thanks to the rich set of breakout connectors and headers. 1 Gbyte of DDR4 memory is available in addition to the included 32 Gbyte SanDisk Ultra microSD UHS-I card for booting the Linux OS.

The PIC64GX Curiosity evaluation kit comes in a 4” x 4” form factor. The debug interface is provided via a USB Type-C® interface, and a USB 2.0 cable is included as part of the kit.
