NXP Semiconductors FRDM-STBI-NPM8 Sensor Evaluation Board

NXP Semiconductors FRDM-STBI-NPM8 Sensor Evaluation Board is designed with essential headers, jumpers, and signal test points to facilitate the quick evaluation of the NPM8 pressure sensor. It is compatible with Arduino® UNO headers, allowing it to be hosted on any compatible board.

The recommended hosting microcontroller unit (MCU) board for the NPM8 shield is the FRDM-MCXW71, which allows it to be mounted on top. The FRDM-MCXW71 supports data and command transfer via serial peripheral interface (SPI) transactions. With integrated 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, the FRDM-MCXW71 is ideal for enabling sensor connectivity. This setup requires a PC and the accompanying software package (demo) available from NXP.

The NXP Semiconductors FRDM-STBI-NPM8 can also operate in standalone mode, where the NPM8 sensor acts as a host to external devices, sensors, or peripherals through the Arduino expansion headers. Additionally, it features a dedicated interface that routes universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) signals to support the IN100 NanoBeacon BLUETOOTH® Low Energy (LE) development board from InPlay.

Additionally, the FRDM-STBI-NPM8 is well-suited for industrial applications that require pressure sensors with high-pressure range capabilities, such as industrial pneumatic tools.
