INTRODUCTION
The EMDVK8500 is a powerful development kit for the configuration, evaluation, prototyping and measurement of
integrated energy harvesting solutions based on EM8500 series.
The development kit offers a complete set of features to characterize and configure your hardware application.
The EMDVK8500 consists of three boards:
• The IPS Base board
• The EMDVK8500 daughter board
• The application board
The EMDVK8500 exists in different variants in order to support the EM8500 series (e.g EM8500, EM8502,…).
