e-peas EVK15820 Evaluation Kit
e-peas EVK15820 Evaluation Kit is a printed circuit board (PCB) that integrates all necessary components to operate the AEM15820 integrated circuit (IC) in a 40‑pin QFN package. The e-peas EVK15820 kit enables users to experiment with the IC and assess performance in both laboratory environments and product prototypes. Designed for flexibility, the evaluation board supports easy connection to a wide range of power-harvesting sources, an optional 5V power supply, a storage element, and an application circuit. The board also provides full access to configuration settings, enabling the device to operate in multiple modes.
Control and status signals are accessible through standard pin headers or via an I2C communication interface, enabling users to override the board’s default configuration using any I2C master. The onboard USB‑to‑I2C converter, combined with e‑peas’ I2C Configuration Tool, further simplifies communication and setup.
Overall, the EVK15820 is a plug‑and‑play, user‑friendly, and efficient platform for optimizing the AEM15820 ICs configuration, helping users design a highly efficient subsystem tailored to target applications. It also allows for convenient component changes and quick switching between operating modes.
