nPZero G1S Development Kit

Description​

The nPZero G1S Development Kit (DevKit) provides a powerful solution for testing the power reduction capabilities of the nPZero IC in embedded systems.

The DevKit is designed to help developers assess the performance of the nPZero G1S power-saving IC in a range of IoT applications, and provide an affordable and flexible way to try out new concepts and build prototypes, and is compatible with a wide range of MCU's and sensors.

The nPZero Driver API and associated software examples can be downloaded here, or from the npz-driver-stm32 Github repository.
