The TMF0008 evaluation module (EVM) allows users to evaluate the performance of TMF0008 single-wire FRAM devices. The EVM comes in a USB stick form factor for interfacing with the host PC. The microcontroller (MCU) is preloaded with the firmware required to communicate between the device under test and the host PC. The Single-Wire_MEM_EVM_GUI software (referred to as GUI) is an all-in-one suite capable of managing registers, modifying memory pages and reporting device status.
NOTE: The TMF0008 was previously released as the BQF0008.
