EVK10941 - Evaluation Board

The AEM10941 evaluation board is a printed circuit board (PCB) featuring all the needed components to operate the AEM10941 integrated circuit (IC). Please refer to the datasheet for all the useful details about the AEM10941 (Document DS AEM10941).

The AEM10941 evaluation board allows users to test the e-peas IC and analyze its performances in a laboratory-like setting. It allows easy connections to the energy harvester, the storage element and the low-voltage and high-voltage loads. It also provides all the configuration access to set the device in any one of the modes described in the datasheet. The control and status signals are available on standard pin headers, allowing users to wire for any usage scenario and evaluate the relevant performance.

The AEM10941 evaluation board is a plug and play, intuitive and efficient tool for making the appropriate decisions (component selection, operating modes) for the design of a highly efficient solar energy powered subsystem in your target application.
