nPM2100 EK Evaluation Kit

Evaluation kit for the nPM2100 Power Management IC (PMIC), optimized for ultra‑low‑power designs using primary‑cell batteries

The nPM2100 Evaluation Kit (EK) enables fast evaluation and code‑free configuration of the nPM2100 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 nPM2100 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.  

The kit includes six interchangeable battery holders supporting a wide range of primary‑cell configurations - AA and AAA alkaline batteries in both single‑cell and two‑cell series configurations, as well as common coin‑cell batteries in 20 mm and 11.6 mm diameters, such as CR2032 and LR44.

nPM PowerUP

nPM PowerUP is a desktop application for controlling the nPM2100 Evaluation Kit (EK). Once connected to an EK, the app gives full control over the adjustable settings of the nPM2100 PMIC. Using the included battery models, the app will show the remaining state of charge when working with a battery connected to the EK. 

nPM PowerUP is found inside nRF Connect for Desktop
