All Silicon Labs MCU or WLMCU Starter Kits can connect to the Isolated-USB board. There is example code on the SLSTK2000A (EFM8 Universal Bee) and the EFM32EG-STK3800. One of these boards is needed for full evaluation and demonstration.
GETTING STARTED
Step 1: Order an Isolation Expansion Kit
The isolated expansion kit contains the isolated expansion board and is a fast and easy way to get started with evaluation and development of isolated applications. It can be used as an attachment or expansion of the EFM32/EFM8 Microcontroller kits to build an isolated sensing or computing node.
Isolated RS Kit
The ISOLATED-RS-EK kit includes:
- Isolated RS232/RS485 expansion board
- Null modem DB9 cable
Isolation Expansion Board Kits
| Kit | Description | Price (USD) | Add to Cart |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISOLATED-USB-EK | Isolated USB expansion card for EFM32 and EFM8 Starter Kits | $34.99 |  |
