Introduction
The
is an evaluation board that lets you easily evaluate the electromagnetic
compatibility performance of CapTIvate technology relative to your design requirements. The EVM
features the
CapTIvate MCU with hardware accelerated frequency hopping and
oversampling. This EVM demonstrates how to design hardware and software that can pass challenging
system-level tests for conducted RF immunity, electrical fast transient and burst immunity, electrostatic
discharge immunity, and radiated immunity.
