ACT8870EVK1-102 Evaluation Kit
ACT8870EVK1-102 Evaluation Tool User Guide
This document describes the characteristic and operation of the Qorvo ACT8870EVK1-102 evaluation kit (EVK). It provides setup and operation instructions, schematic, layout, BOM, and test data.
This EVK demonstrates the ACT8870QJ102 ActivePMU™ power management IC.
Other ACT8870QJxxx options can be evaluated on this EVK by replacing the IC and any other necessary components.
To communicate with the EVK a USB Dongle and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) is provided.
ACT8870 GUI
The ACT8870EVK1-101 Graphical User Interface (GUI) is packaged in a ZIP file that includes the software and all necessary drivers to communicate with the ACT8870EVK1-101 Evaluation Tool, as well as all descriptions how to use the tool.
