ACT8865EV Rev 0, 05-Aug-13 ACT8865 Evaluation Kit FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION • Fully Assembled and Tested PCB • Allows Simple Evaluation of the ACT8865 • Probe Points for Easy Measurement The ACT8865EV contains a fully assembled and tested circuit board designed to demonstrate all the features of the ACT8865. The ACT8865EV includes a variety of test points and jumpers as necessary to configure and evaluate the ACT8865’s functionality. DMMs or scope. QUICK START GUIDE 11) Ship the middle J5_3 Jumper (IO3_PWREN) to left (VIN) to enable the REG4, REG5, REG6 and REG7. Or ship it to right side (GND) to disable REG4, REG5, REG6 and REG7. Recommended Equipment 1) Variable Power Supply 2) DMM 12) Evaluate the REG4, REG5, REG6 and REG7 using DMMs or scope. 3) Load Resistors or Electronic Load 4) ActivePMUTM Dongle and Cable To evaluate the advanced features of REG1 to REG7, click the Advanced Mode button and select the REG tabs to allow direct access to the control bits. Refer to the ACT8865 data sheet for more information regarding the REG1 to REG7 control registers. 5) ACT8865EV GUI software Quick Start Operating Procedure The following procedure should be used when operating the ACT8865EV for the first time to verify correct operation. 1) Do not turn the power supply ON until all connections have been made. 2) Connect the power supply positive lead to the VIN pin connector. 3) Connect the power supply negative lead to the GND pin connector located near the VIN pin connector. 4) Connect INL45, INL67 to VIN by connecting J1, J2 Jumper. 5) Connect the corresponding pin of J6 Jumper to dongle through cable. 6) Connect dongle to the computer which has the ACT8865 GUI Software installed. Make sure all the Jumpers: J5_1; J5_2; J5_3; J5_8 are shipped to the right (GND). 7) Set the power supply to 5V. 8) Turn on the power supply. 9) Ship the middle J5_8 Jumper (IO8_PWRHLD) to left (VIN) to enable the REG1, REG2 and REG3. Or ship it to right side (GND) to disable REG1, REG2 and REG3. 10) Evaluate the REG1, REG2 and REG3 using Innovative PowerTM ActivePMUTM is a trademark of Active-Semi.

The ActivePMUTM evaluation system facilitates a complete solution to evaluate Active-Semi’s advanced family of PMU products (ACT5xxx, ACT8xxx). The evaluation kit requires a software protection dongle to be used (provided in evaluation kit). GETTING STARTED 1. Software Protection Dongle In order to operate the ActivePMUTM evaluation system, the software protection dongle must be connected at all times. The dongle is connected to the USB port of the PC. Figure 9 below shows the two possible indication status graphics. USER INTERFACE Clicking on the ActivePMU.exe Icon invokes the ActivePMUTM evaluation system main window as shown in Figure 8 below. Figure 9: Dongle Connected Note: The user interface for ACT8865 is used for illustration only. Dongle Disconnected Figure 8: User Interface 2. Reading the PMU Configuration The current configuration settings of the PMU can be read by clicking the “Read” button on the tool bar. Note: The progress of the configuration reading is shown in the Progress bar (See figure 10) Figure 10: Reading from IC Each product or product family has a unique main window layout providing the user programmable features. • The product/product family is shown at the top left of the main window. • The tool bar in the top right of the main window provides access to the main operation features: − Read/Write: Read/Write configuration from PMU − Help, About and Exit • Dongle Connection Status • The user programmable configuration options are programmed using the drop down boxes (e.g. VOUT1, VOUT2 etc…) • Writing process bar: indicates the progress of the PMU configuration writing process. After reading from IC, output value will be appear in form. With Basic Mode selected, only the output settings are shown. Click on the Combo boxes or checkboxes to set the value for outputs. Click the “Advanced Mode” button to see all available user programmable options. With Advanced Mode, additional user programmable features can be selected using the radio buttons, combo boxes. •Advance/Basic mode selection button enables the user to toggle the user interface between Basic and Innovative PowerTM ActivePMUTM is a trademark of Active-Semi.
