Description

The TCA984649-EVM is used to evaluate the performance of the TCA9846 and TCA9849. The evaluation module (EVM) does not come with a soldered unit. A sample can be ordered online at the bottom of the product page. The EVM allows for engineers to evaluate the TCA9846 and TCA9849 I2C signaling capabilities. The EVM has a USB2ANY male connecter to send I2C signals through the DUT. The USB2ANY microcontroller has to be acquired separately and does not come with this EVM. If a USB2ANY is used for the communication, then the cable has to be connected with the notch facing up. A test point for each pin is present with many ground points for ease of use. Other features like load capacitor footprints and pull up resistors are for simplifying evaluation and testing.
