1. Out of the Box

The NXP analog product development boards provide an easy-to-use platform for evaluating NXP products. The boards support a range of analog, mixed-signal and power solutions. They incorporate monolithic integrated circuits and system-in-package devices that use proven high-volume technology. NXP products offer longer battery life, a smaller form factor, reduced component counts, lower cost, and improved performance in powering state-of-the-art systems.

This page will guide you through the process of setting up and using the P3T1035XUK-ARD board.

1.1 Kit Contents and Packing List

The P3T1035XUK-ARD kit contents include:

  • Assembled and tested evaluation board in an antistatic bag

1.2 Assumptions

Familiarity with the SPI-bus is helpful but not required.

1.3 Static Handling Requirements

1.4 Minimum System Requirements

  • PC Pentium processor (or equivalent)
  • One USB port (either 3.0 or 2.0 or 1.1 compatible)
  • Windows 7, 8, or 10
  • OM13089 MCU board (from www.nxp.com)

1.5 Power Requirements

The MIMXRT685-EVK MCU board obtains power from the PC USB port. Two USB parts can be connected to the MIMXRT685-EVK MCU board simultaneously. Use an external power supply option if exceeding the USB port current capabilities.

2. Get to Know the Hardware

2.1 Board Features

  • A complete evaluation platform for the P3T1035XUK I³C, I²C-bus, 0.5 °C accuracy, digital temperature sensor
  • Easy to use GUI based software demonstrates the capabilities of the P3T1035XUK
  • On-board temperature sensor for system thermal management experiments
  • Convenient test points for easy scope measurements and signal access
  • USB interface to the host PC
  • Power supply from USB port (x2) or external power supply can be used to power P3T1035XUK-ARD evaluation board

2.2 Board Description

The P3T1035XUK-ARD evaluation board features an I³C, I²C-bus, 0.5 °C accuracy, digital temperature sensor. A graphical interface allows the user to easily explore the different functions of the driver. The board can be connected in parallel with other I²C-bus demo boards to create an evaluation system

P3T1035XUK-ARD EV board and MIMXRT685-EVK MCU board connection

P3T1035XUK-ARD evaluation board is connected to the MIMXRT685-EVK MCU board using four connectors (J1/J2/J3/J4 on P3T1035XUK-ARD board and J27/J28/J29/J30 on MIMXRT685-EVK board) for I²C-bus and power supply, and one connector (J9 on P3T1035XUK-ARD board and J18 on MIMXRT685-EVK board) for I³C-bus.

The MIMXRT685-EVK MCU board communicates with P3T1035XUK demo GUI through PC USB port and uses I²C or I³C-bus to communicate to P3T1035XUK.
