Introduction
The nPM1300 Evaluation Kit (EK) is a hardware platform used to evaluate the nPM1300 Power
Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC).
Key features
• Dedicated Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C connection to power the nPM1300 PMIC
• Battery connectors that support Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) connection for battery
temperature monitoring
• Easy access to PMIC voltage outputs through male pin headers and scope probe loops
• No hardware changes needed for measuring key parameters
• Exposed jumper pins to:
• Select VSET configuration (resistor, external, or off)
• Connect to General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)s
• Configure load switches or Low-Dropout Regulator (LDO)s
• Connect LEDs
• Onboard nPM Controller circuit for PMIC configuration when connected to a computer
• Plug-and-play connection to nPM PowerUP, a computer app that enables quick evaluation and
implementation of Nordic PMICs
• Evaluate without writing any code or performing any device programming, when used with nPM
PowerUP
• Use with a Nordic Development Kit (DK), or develop your own nPM1300 application
• Use with your own custom hardware, or develop your own nPM1300 application
