UM11705 NXP Semiconductors PCF85063TP-ARD evaluation board IMPORTANT NOTICE For engineering development or evaluation purposes only NXP provides the product under the following conditions: This evaluation kit is for use of ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT OR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY. It is provided as a sample IC pre- soldered to a printed-circuit board to make it easier to access inputs, outputs and supply terminals.
The NXP community is at http://community.nxp.com. Getting ready Working with the PCF85063TP-ARD requires the kit contents, additional hardware, and a Windows PC workstation with installed software. 3.1 Kit contents • Assembled and tested evaluation board in an antistatic bag •...
1). Using the Arduino interface, the board ca be attached to any device equipped with Arduino port. The PCF85063TP-ARD daughter board communicates with the host device or EVK, through an I C-bus, with a maximum speed of 400 kHz. The I...

The board is powered through the Arduino connector J6 (pin 4 – 3.3V, pin 6, 7 – GND). The power is delivered to the DUT through J37 (on the PCF85063TP-ARD board). The purpose of J37 is to facilitate power-off tests and current measurements. If C8 supercapacitor and R32 resistor (both components not populated) will be installed on the board, the user can test the RTC back-up function of the DUT.
UM11705 NXP Semiconductors PCF85063TP-ARD evaluation board 4.3 Schematic diagram The schematic diagram of PCF85063TP-ARD is available at URL: http://www.nxp.com/ PCF85063TP-ARD. 4.4 Arduino port J5, J6, J35, and J36 are the mated pin headers of Arduino Uno R3 connectors, having the same electrical function and placed on the board, so that the daughter board can be directly inserted in the Arduino port.
4.5 I C external connector (J38) The I C-bus of the PCF85063TP can be directly accessed from external through the connector J38, located on the PCF85063TP-ARD daughter board. Table 2 describes the pin chart of J38. Table 2. The J38 pin chart J38 pin no.
VCC – MAIN power rail Installing and configuring software tools PCF85063TP-ARD evaluation board is designed and built as a daughter board able to work in conjunction with a mother board equipped with an Arduino port. The board was built to be fully compatible with the following NXP Evaluation (EVK) boards: •...
