PAC5222EVK1 Evaluation Kit
Qorvo's PAC5222EVK1 development platform is a complete hardware solution enabling users not only to evaluate the PAC5222 device, but also develop power applications revolving around this powerful and versatile Arm® Cortex®-M0 based microcontroller. The module contains a PAC5222 Power Application Controller® (MCU) and all the necessary circuitry to properly energize the MCU and its internal peripherals once power is applied.
To aid in the application development the PAC5222EVK1 offers access to each and every one of the PAC5222 device's signals by means of a series of male header connectors.

Supporting Evaluation Tools
The ET-UARTSWD adapter is the preferred adapter for evaluation of PAC devices/firmware and combines a USB to UART adapter with SWD debugger connector adaptation into a single board with isolation. The ET-UARTISO-1 adapter provides only the USB to UART adapter with isolation for Qorvo application GUI communications.
ET-UARTSWD
The ET-UARTSWD isolated communications and debugging interface unifies two modules into one. Previously, interfacing a PC Computer to any of Qorvo's PAC5xxx Evaluation Modules required one module to enable UART based serial communications and a second module to allow for in-system debugging and FLASH memory programing.

ET-UARTISO-1
The ET-UARTISO-1 adapter is a USB to UART adapter for Qorvo application GUI communications with the PAC device UART, and can be used for evaluation and debugging of PAC applications.
PAC5xxx Flash Programmer Tools
Qorvo has partnered with Flash Programmer solution providers to support our Intelligent Motor Control PAC product families. These proven tools are suitable for emerging and high volume product manufacturing. Both package level (socketed) and board level Flash programming solutions are available.
Qorvo will support other vendors familiar with Arm® Serial Wire Debug (SWD) protocol to add PAC product compatibility on their existing Flash programmer platforms. For details, please contact Qorvo Sales.
