ACT88420EVK1-101 User’s Guide
Description
This document describes the characteristic and operation of the Qorvo ACT88420EVK1-101 evaluation kit
(EVK). It provides setup and operation instructions, schematic, layout, BOM, and test data. This EVK
demonstrates the ACT88420-101 Qorvo PMU power management IC. Other ACT88420-xxx options can be
evaluated on this EVK by replacing the IC and any other necessary components.
Features
The EVK can be used as a standalone board if desired. However, to access the internal registers and to take
full advantage of the IC’s capability, the user must connect the EVK kit to a PC with Qorvo’s USB-TO-I2C
interface dongle and use the GUI software. The EVK provides full access to each converter’s input and output
voltage, as well as all the digital control signals. This gives the user the flexibility to configure the EVK to match
their real-world system.
Note that the ACT88420EVK1-101 is specifically configured for the ACT88420-101. This CMI does not use the
Push-Button.
