The nPM1304 Evaluation Kit enables easy evaluation and programming-free configuration of the nPM1304 power management integrated circuit (PMIC). By connecting to the nPM PowerUP application in nRF Connect for Desktop, all nPM1304 settings can be easily configured via an intuitive graphical interface and exported as code for implementation in your MCU applications.
The kit itself comes with a JST battery connector for use with/without an internal NTC battery, and a male header for accessing all nPM1304 interfaces. Additionally, it integrates three LEDs and four buttons for easy evaluation of the PMIC's GPIO and LED driver functions.
Users can directly use the pre-configured battery model in nPM PowerUP to initially evaluate the fuel gauge capabilities of the nPM1304. This fuel gauge solution relies on the battery model to achieve optimal state-of-charge accuracy. Battery modeling is a one-time operation, and the required programmable load circuitry is built into the nPM1304 evaluation kit.
