IMPORTANT NOTICE
For engineering development or evaluation purposes only
NXP provides the product under the following conditions:
This evaluation kit is for use of ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT OR
EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY. It is provided as a sample IC pre-
soldered to a printed-circuit board to make it easier to access inputs,
outputs and supply terminals. This evaluation board may be used with any
development system or other source of I/O signals by connecting it to the
host MCU computer board via off-the-shelf cables. This evaluation board
is not a Reference Design and is not intended to represent a final design
recommendation for any particular application. Final device in an application
heavily depends on proper printed-circuit board layout and heat sinking
design as well as attention to supply filtering, transient suppression, and I/O
signal quality.
The product provided may not be complete in terms of required design,
marketing, and or manufacturing related protective considerations, including
product safety measures typically found in the end device incorporating the
product. Due to the open construction of the product, it is the responsibility of
the user to take all appropriate precautions for electric discharge. In order to
minimize risks associated with the customers’ applications, adequate design
and operating safeguards must be provided by the customer to minimize
inherent or procedural hazards. For any safety concerns, contact NXP sales
and technical support services.

NCX3310 evaluation board
1 Introduction
This board provides an easy and quick evaluation and development environment
for NCx3310 enabled applications, especially for those leveraging I2C leader, I2C
follower, Bluetooth Pairing, Energy Harvesting use cases. A broad selection of software
packages is available, which are based on modular examples. A broad selection of
software packages is available. These packages are based on modular examples. These
examples can be easily extracted and reused on any other platform. The NCX3310
evaluation board can be stacked on single-board computer boards, MCU evaluation
boards, such as the NXP LPCXpresso Boards and NXP Freedom Boards, or be used
standalone.
Note: The antenna part can be broken off and replaced by any other antenna to fit the
desired application.
1.1 Potential applications
•BT and WiFi pairing
•Rear seat entertainment
•Personalization and diagnostics
•Connected keys for connected cars
•Originality check of auto parts
