PCA9617ADP-ARD user manual
1 Introduction
This document describes the PCA9617ADP-ARD evaluation board. The evaluation board
is built around the PCA9617A, a level translating FM+ I
2
C-bus repeater, produced by
NXP Semiconductors. The evaluation board serves as a daughterboard that can be
connected through an Arduino port to various Arduino compatible (including original
Arduino Uno R3) EVK/motherboards with the purpose of testing and measuring the
characteristics of the PCA9617A Device Under Test (DUT).
The PCA9617ADP-ARD daughterboard tests and measures the static and dynamic
characteristics of the DUT by accessing an I
2
C EEPROM from the Arduino port through
the PCA9617A level translator.
The DUT is tested for different logic levels applied to both sides of the level translator, by
supplying the PCA9617A IC with two independent voltage programmable power supplies.
The power supplies are controlled by the motherboard (EVK) through the same Arduino
port. Power is delivered from the motherboard (EVK) through the Arduino port also.
Additionally, a GUI (Windows platform) is provided to facilitate the evaluation of the
daughterboard. The GUI is used with the following NXP evaluation boards: IMXRT1050
EVK Board, LPCXpresso55S69 Development Board, and i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVK
Board.
