1. Introduction
The CP2130 Evaluation Kit consists of a CP2130 Evaluation Board and software package to demonstrate the use
of the CP2130 USB-to-SPI bridge to communicate with several SPI slave devices, including an on-board SPI ADC
and SPI EEPROM. Several PC applications are included to demonstrate the CP2130 features and evaluate SPI
performance.
2. Kit Contents
