XG22-EK8200A

XG22-EK8200A is an EFR32xG22E Energy Harvesting Explorer kit. It enables evaluation of the functionality and performance of energy-harvesting-powered devices with Bluetooth LE and Zigbee Green Power. This unique Energy Harvesting kit selection includes a lightweight board with most popular Multi-protocol Wireless SoCs and different shields and adapters which, combined with Explorer Kit's features enable evaluation of multiple solutions for energy harvesting, making use of energy sources like photovoltaic cells, inductive or piezoelectric sources, TEG in different applications, for example pulsed or continuous supply, single or dual source. The dual harvester flexible shield can be used to harvest energy from one or two sources at same time. Typical use case scenarios are complimentary photovoltaic cells, one photovoltaic cell and one piezoelectric source taking energy from vibrations, etc. Adapters, for interfacing AC and DC sources to the Dual Harvester Shield, are also provided.

• Supplementary battery shield for debugging (stand-alone operation/evaluating battery lifetime)
• Kinetic button shield is engineered to demonstrate a specific application
• Self-powered operation
• Flexible PMIC
• Hardware and software configurable registers
• AC and DC sources
• Automatic power selection (self-powered or debugger)
• Test Points for current and voltage measurements
