DC1785B - Demo Manual

DEMO MANUAL DC1785B
LTC2991
I2C Temperature, Voltage
and Current Monitor
Description
Demonstration circuit 1785B features the LTC®2991, a high
performance temperature, voltage and current monitor
that uses an I2C interface for communication. It offers
sub-millivolt voltage resolution, 1% current measurement
and 1°C temperature accuracy.
to measure performance. The exposed ground planes allow
proper grounding to prototype circuitry. After evaluating
with Linear Technology’s software, the digital signals can
be connected to the end application’s processor/controller
for development of the serial interface.
DC1785B is a member of Linear Technology‘s QuikEval™
family of demonstration boards. It is designed to allow easy
evaluation of the LTC2991 and may be connected directly
to the target application’s analog signals while using the
DC590 USB Serial Controller board and supplied software
Design files for this circuit board are available at

quick start procedure
Connect the DC1785B to a DC590 USB Serial Controller
using the supplied 14-conductor ribbon cable. Connect the
DC590 to host PC with a standard USB A/B cable. Run the
evaluation software supplied with DC590 or downloaded
from http://www.linear.com/software. The correct program
will be loaded automatically. Click the COLLECT button to
start reading the input voltage. Details on software features
are documented in the control panel’s help menu.
Software Set-Up
The legend for each input type icon is included below.
Single-Ended (default)
Differential
Diode Temperature
Input sampling can also be turned on and off by left clicking the label of the corresponding input. When an input
is off, the values box below the label will be shaded and
the value will stop updating.
The DC1785B software is designed to give the user access to all LTC2991 functionality and features. There are
several options that may be accessed both through right
and left clicks.
Graph Settings
Input Settings
To pan the graph, hold down the right mouse button while
hovering over the graph and move the mouse in the direction of desired motion. The graph will cease to auto-scroll
after a pan has be initiated, to reactivate the auto-scroll
double left click anywhere on the graph.
By default, all eight inputs are set as single-ended. This may
be modified by either left clicking the input type picture to
cycle through the options or right clicking the picture to
bring up a list of options and left clicking to select.
By default, the QuikEval software will graph V1. To begin
graphing a different input, left click the values box of the
input to be graphed.

quick start procedure
To zoom the graph, left click and drag. To undo any zoom
and re-initiate auto-scroll, double left click anywhere on
the graph.
Tools
There are two tools included in the software package;
both are accessible under the tools menu in the software.
Statistics: The statistics window lists some basic information about the gathered values. It gives mean, standard
deviation, min, max and crest factor. The statistics can be
reset with the reset button.
PWM: The PWM window allows the user to configure the
PWM functionality of the LTC2991. The DC1785B includes
a red LED next to the PWM turret which reflects the duty
cycle of the PWM pin. The pin needs to be enabled in this
window in order for proper functionality to be achieved.
This window also allows the user to set the PWM threshold.
Please see the LTC2991 data sheet for an explanation of
the PWM pin functionality.
HARDware Set-Up
Jumper Settings
V1, V2, V7, V8 – (Default VOLT, VOLT, VOLT, VOLT). These
jumpers can be toggled between VOLT and TEMP. VOLT
connects the corresponding input on the LTC2991 with the
corresponding turret for an external input. TEMP connects
the corresponding input to MMBT (V1 and V2). Please
note that the jumpers should be moved in pairs, V1 and
V2 should both be connected either to VOLT or TEMP and
V7 and V8 should also be both connected to either VOLT
or TEMP. Once set the proper selection should also be
made inside the QuikEval software in the mode selection
box, to reflect any changes made.
Power – (Default DC590) EXTVCC allows the user to
provide the VCC voltage (2.9V to 5V) to the LTC2991 at
turret EXTVCC while DC590(5V) powers the LTC2991 with
5V from the DC590. State of VCC can be seen through
red LED D1.
ADR0, ADR1, ADR2 – (Default LOW, LOW, LOW) These
jumpers are used to select the I2C address for the LTC2991.
When used with QuikEval, the correct address should also
be selected from within the software.
Connection to DC590 Serial Controller
J1 is the power and digital interface connector. Connect
to DC590 serial controller with supplied 14-conductor
ribbon cable.

Analog Connections
Digital Connections
Analog signal connections are made via the row of turret
posts along the edge of the board. Also, when connecting
the board to an existing circuit the exposed ground planes
along the edges of the board may be used to form a solid
connection between grounds.
PWM – PWM output pin configurable through the QuikEval
software. State of the PWM pin is reflected quantitatively
through the PWM LED at D2.
GND – (8 turrets) These turrets are connected directly to
the internal ground planes.
EXTVCC – This turret allows the user to provide power to
the LTC2991. Select power jumper accordingly.
V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7, V8 – These turrets are used to
provide input voltage to the monitor when the corresponding jumpers are set to the VOLT position.
SDA, SCL – I2C signals brought out to turrets. If DC1785B is
to be run without a DC590 connected or with an alternative
microprocessor, I2C signals can be driven at these points.
If DC590 is not used R4 and R5 (Backside of board) can
be populated with appropriate I2C pull-up values.
GPO – General purpose output pin can be toggled through
QuikEval software.
