    • J16 or J18 • J17 or J19 • If UCS81003 is configured in SMBus mode (as selected by using J16 instead of J18), two jumpers must be populated on J7 and J6 must be left unpopulated. UCS81003 is configured in Stand-Alone mode, the jumpers on J7 must be left off.
  • Page 18: Ground Test Points On The Evaluation Board

    J11, J12 Signal Ground These test points connect to the signal ground of the board. These are the ground reference for the UCS81003. J13, J14, J15 Earth Ground These test points connect to the earth ground of the board (the shield of the USB connectors).
  • Page 19: Software Installation

    Installation and Operation SOFTWARE INSTALLATION To begin using the UCS81003 Evaluation Board, software must be installed on a ® Windows -based computer with a USB port. 1. Download the software archive from the board’s web page, unzip it and double-click the Setup.exe, to start the installation.

    M1, M2. DIRECT SMBUS CONNECT OPTION It is also possible to connect an external SMBus master to the UCS81003 Evaluation Board. Remove the jumpers on J7 and connect the SMBus master to the header pins that are linked directly to UCS81003 pins SMDATA/LATCH and SMCLK/S0. Note that ground must be connected to one of the test point grounds or header pins on the EVB.

To view this behavior, perform the following: 1. Connect V to the evaluation board (see Section 2.4 “Jumpers on the...
  • Page 30 FIGURE 4-7: Main Tab - Charging Started. 4. Disconnect the portable device from the board. The UCS81003 should detect a removal, switch to the Detect power state, and stop delivering a charge. Figure 4-8 shows the interface after a removal was detected.
  • Page 31: Software Description

    CHARGING DOWNSTREAM PORT (CDP) The CDP charging profile is based on the “USB Battery Charging Specification v1.x”. When a BC1.x-compliant portable device attachment is detected, the UCS81003 and the portable device do handshaking based on the standard. If handshaking is successful, charging occurs up to the set current limit.
