Getting Started with the P3T1035XUK-ARD Evaluation Board

2.1 Board Features

• A complete evaluation platform for the P3T1035XUK I³C, I²C-bus, 0.5 °C accuracy, digital temperature sensor
• Easy to use GUI based software demonstrates the capabilities of the P3T1035XUK
• On-board temperature sensor for system thermal management experiments
• Convenient test points for easy scope measurements and signal access
• USB interface to the host PC
• Power supply from USB port (x2) or external power supply can be used to power P3T1035XUK-ARD evaluation board

2.2 Board Description

The P3T1035XUK-ARD evaluation board features an I³C, I²C-bus, 0.5 °C accuracy, digital temperature sensor. A graphical interface allows the user to easily explore the different functions of the driver. The board can be connected in parallel with other I²C-bus demo boards to create an evaluation system

4.1 Configure the Hardware

P3T1035XUK-ARD EV board and MIMXRT685-EVK MCU board connection

P3T1035XUK-ARD evaluation board is connected to the MIMXRT685-EVK MCU board using four connectors (J1/J2/J3/J4 on P3T1035XUK-ARD board and J27/J28/J29/J30 on MIMXRT685-EVK board) for I²C-bus and power supply, and one connector (J9 on P3T1035XUK-ARD board and J18 on MIMXRT685-EVK board) for I³C-bus.

The MIMXRT685-EVK MCU board communicates with P3T1035XUK demo GUI through PC USB port and uses I²C or I³C-bus to communicate to P3T1035XUK.
