INTRODUCTION This chapter identifies the main connectors, LEDs, jumpers and test points that can be found on the UCS1003-1 Evaluation Board. It also explains the steps necessary for the installation of the board’s graphical user interface. CONNECTORS ON THE EVALUATION BOARD Figure 2-1 shows the top of the evaluation board and highlights the connectors.

J11, J12 Signal Ground These test points connect to the signal ground of the board. These are the ground reference for the UCS1003-1. J13, J14, J15 Earth Ground These test points connect to the earth ground of the board (the shield of the USB connectors).
Installation and Operation SOFTWARE INSTALLATION To begin using the UCS1003-1 Evaluation Board, software must be installed on a ® ® Microsoft Windows -based computer with a USB port. The software is the same as the UCS81003 Evaluation Board GUI, with some actions that need to be done by the user, as explained in step 6.

Installation and Operation 6. Download the archive called “UCS1003-1 Configurations.zip” from the UCS1003-1 board’s web page and unzip it. The archive contains a folder called “Configurations”. Go to the location of the installation directory of the UCS81003 software (the default location for the software files is C:\Program Files(x86)\Microchip\UCS81003\) and over-write the existing Configurations folder with the one from the archive.
Chapter 3. Hardware Description UCS1003-1 DEVICE The UCS1003-1 provides a single USB port power switch for precise control of up to 3.0A continuous current (2.85A typical) with overcurrent limiting, dynamic thermal management, latch/auto-recovery upon fault, selectable active low or high enable, under and overvoltage lockout, and back-drive protection.
M1, M2. DIRECT SMBUS CONNECT OPTION It is also possible to connect an external SMBus master to the UCS1003-1 Evaluation Board. Remove the jumpers on J7 and connect the SMBus master to the header pins that are linked directly to UCS1003-1 pins SMDATA/LATCH and SMCLK/S0. Note that ground must be connected to one of the test point grounds or header pins on the evaluation board.
To get the graphical interface and the evaluation board running, follow these instructions: 1. Start the UCS81003/UCS1003-1 GUI software: from the Windows Start menu, select Programs > Microchip > UCS81003. 2. Connect the USB mini connector end of the cable to the board and the standard USB connector of the cable to any available USB port on the PC.

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 UCS1003-1 and the portable device do handshaking based on the standard. If handshaking is successful, charging occurs up to the set current limit.
