NXP Semiconductors KITVR249SKTEVM Evaluation Kit
NXP Semiconductors KITVR249SKTEVM Evaluation Kit is a socketed platform for configuring and evaluating the VR249 high-voltage PMIC family for 24V industrial applications. The kit features an LQFP48 socket that simplifies device insertion for OTP emulation, functional testing, and final fuse programming. The included FRDM-KL25Z development board connects to the NXP GUI software for VR249 configuration, control, and monitoring.
The NXP KITVR249SKTEVM kit supplies access to the SPI bus, I/Os, safety outputs, debug mode, analog multiplexer, and regulators. USB connectivity supports register access, and connectors provide access to digital signals and power outputs. The platform is ideal for evaluating VR249-based battery management systems, EV supply equipment, motor drives, factory networking equipment, PLCs, remote I/O systems, and robotic appliances.
