nPM1300 EK Evaluation Kit

Evaluation kit for the nPM1300, a highly integrated Power Management IC (PMIC) with battery charging and advanced system management features

Evaluation kit for the nPM1300, a highly integrated Power Management IC (PMIC) with battery charging and advanced system management features. 

The nPM1300 Evaluation Kit (EK) enables fast evaluation and code‑free configuration of the nPM1300 PMIC using the nPM PowerUP desktop application in nRF Connect for Desktop. Through an intuitive graphical interface, all PMIC settings can be configured and exported as code for direct integration into the host MCU application. 

The EK provides male pin headers for access to all nPM1300 connections, allowing easy connection to Nordic Development Kits (DKs) and external test equipment. Integrated LEDs and pushbuttons enable evaluation of the PMIC’s built‑in LED drivers and GPIO functionality, while JST battery connectors support batteries with or without an internal NTC. 

For initial evaluation of fuel‑gauging capabilities, pre‑profiled battery models included in nPM PowerUP can be used. For best state of charge and state of health accuracy, battery profiling and model generation is a one‑time process that requires an external nPM Fuel Gauge board. 

Learn more about the nPM1300 PMIC, including fuel gauging and software & tools, on the nPM1300 product page.

nPM PowerUP

nPM PowerUP is a desktop application for controlling the nPM1300 Evaluation Kit (EK). Once connected to an EK, the app gives full control over the adjustable settings of the nPM1300 PMIC. Using the included battery models, you can also get an estimated time-to-full and time-to-empty when charging or discharging a battery connected to the EK. 

nPM PowerUP is found inside nRF Connect for Desktop.
