GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
XR77XXEVB-XCM-V80
Module or XCM) is a board that is designed to
act as a USB to I
C bridge for communication
2
between a PC running PowerArchitect
configuration and design software and one of
MaxLinear's Universal PMICs.
This XCM is for development purposes only.
For production, we recommend the use of
third-party
programming
software. For additional information regarding
recommended
third-party
support,

party-programming-support
The PMIC can either be on a MaxLinear
evaluation board or on a customer board. On
the right opposite side of the XCM is a 10-pin
connector which is used to connect to the
user's system board in order to communicate
to any of the supported PMICs.
The XCM includes a µC with on-board flash so
that when powered from the system board, it
can act as a boot loader without the need to
have a PC connected.
This board is compatible with: XR77103,
XRP7704, XRP7708, XRP7740, XRP7713, and
XRP7714.
