Overview

Description

The QCIOT-ELOADPOCZ load board is a programmable electronic load for the QuickConnect ecosystem that enables system stress testing while prototyping.

The board includes the SLG4BE46142V programmable mixed-signal IC that serves as an I2C-enabled controller for selecting current load.

The board provides a standard Pmod™ Type 6A (extended I2C) connection for the onboard sensor to plug into any required MCU evaluation kit with a matching connector. The QCIOT-ELOADPOCZ features Pmod connectors on both sides of the board to allow additional Type 6/6A boards to connect in a daisy-chained solution with multiple devices on the same MCU Pmod connector.

The QCIOT-ELOADPOCZ is intended as a quick connect prototyping solution for programmable loading. The board enables the designer to quickly test and characterize a variety of applications that can include driver circuits, batteries, and power supplies. The QCIOT-ELOADPOCZ takes external voltages between 0.8V to 10V and can draw up to a maximum of 4 watts.

Features

  • Max 2.5A of load current or 4W
  • Wide input voltage range (0.8V to 10V)
  • Programmable load timing through I2C
  • Standardized type 6A Pmod connector supports I2C extended interface
  • Dual connectors allow pass-through signals for daisy-chained solutions
  • Software support in e2 studio minimizes development time with one-click code generation
