Microchip Technology MCP2221 I2C Demonstration Board (ADM00678)

Microchip Technology MCP2221 I2C Demonstration Board (ADM00678) is a perfect starting point to explore the capabilities of the MCP2221 USB to I2C/UART/SMBus Protocol Converter. The MCP2221 I2C Demo Board allows developers to communicate through a PC application to I2C slave devices by using the MCP2221 device as a USB to I2C master converter (bridge). Additionally, users can create a USB to RS-232 (UART) bridge using the same MCP2221 board.

The Microchip Technology MCP2221 I2C Demonstration Board (ADM00678) features a pre-installed MCP2221 in a TSSOP-14 package, along with a PIC16F1509 Microcontroller, and additional support components.

Features

  • Real-time monitoring and logging:
    • Current and power consumption of a USB device, using the PAC1710 current, voltage, and power sensor
    • Ambient temperature, using the MCP9808 temperature sensor
    • Voltage level recorded by the MCP3221 12-bit analog-to-digital converter
  • Performs measurements for resistors or capacitors using the MCP2221’s analog-to-digital converter and general purpose input/output pins
  • Configuration and control of up to 8 GPIOs, available from the MCP23008 I/O expander, as well as continuously monitoring the state of the pins
  • PIC16F1509 configuration to issue multiple warnings, through an RGB LED, when any of the featured readings are outside user-set conditions
  • Configuration and other data stored in on-board 24LC128 128-Kbit EEPROM
  • Output voltage level control of the MCP4726 digital-to-analog converter
  • Allows creation of USB-to-RS232 bridge
  • Allows creation of USB-to-UART bridge
