Mouser is now stocking Infineon XMC4700 Relax series kits By Saur News Bureau/ Updated On Wed, Apr 13th, 2016 Mouser Electronics is now stocking XMC4700 Relax, Relax Kit for 5V Shields and Relax Lite evaluation kits from Infineon Technologies. These kits are designed to evaluate the capabilities of the XMC4700 microcontroller and Infineon’s free-of-charge, Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE), DAVE. Infineon XMC4700 Relax, Relax Kit for 5V Shields and Relax Lite Evaluation Kits are equipped with the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 based XMC4700 microcontroller (MCU), an onboard debug probe that supports serial wire debug (SWD), serial wire output (SWO), and a virtual COM port; plus a micro-USB port. All three boards feature Arduino Uno-compatible headers. The Relax and Relax Lite boards include 0-Ohm bridges that allow the kits to work with 3.3V Arduino Uno-compatible shields, and the Relax Kit for 5V Shields includes a voltage level shifter that allows it to work with both 3.3V and 5V Arduino Uno-compatible shields. With the XMC4700 Relax, Relax Kit for 5V Shields, and Relax Lite kits, engineers can prototype designs for a variety of industrial and consumer applications, including automation, construction and agricultural vehicles, motor control, solar energy systems, and power supplies. The XMC4700 Relax Kit features an Ethernet-enabled communication option, e.g. to run an embedded web server. The user can store their own HTML web pages on a microSD Card or control the XMC4700 via the web browser on their PC. On the other hand XMC4700 Relax Lite Kit-V1 does not support the web server application because the components for the Ethernet are not assembled. Both boards are marked with “XMC4700 Relax/Relax Lite Kit-V1.” These boards are neither cost- nor size-optimized and do not serve as a reference design. The Relax Kit also features 32 Mbits of quad-SPI flash memory, an Infineon high-speed CAN transceiver suitable for 12V and 24V bus systems, and a 32.768 kHz real-time clock (RTC) crystal.
