PCF85063TP-ARD evaluation board
1 Introduction
This document describes the PCF85063TP-ARD demo board. The evaluation board
is built around the PCF85063TP IC and works as a daughter card which can be
connected through an Arduino port to various Arduino compatible (including original
Arduino Uno R3) boards. The board is intended to test and measure the characteristics
of the PCF85063TP low power, tiny real-time clock/calendar, produced by NXP
Semiconductors.
The RTC communicates with the controller / microprocessor through a bidirectional
Fm I
2
C-bus. Among the device under test (DUT) IC, the board is equipped with an
Arduino port and the necessary components for easy testing, shortening the time to
make measurements and check operation of the PCF85063TP IC.
Additionally, the daughter board has software support and a graphical user interface
(Windows platform) for the following NXP evaluation boards: IMXRT1050 EVK Board,
LPCXpresso55S69 Development Board and i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVK Board.
