Overview Introduction The EVKT-5416 is an evaluation kit for the MP5416, a complete power management IC, which integrates four high-efficiency, step-down, DC/DC converters, five low dropout regulators, and flexible system configurations via the I2C. The kit allows for quick evaluation of the PMIC and offers one-time programming (OTP) capabilities, which allows users to program custom configurations, supporting a wide range of designs.
User Guide MP5416 Evaluation Kit (EVKT-5416) The MP5416 is highly customizable. Users can program the PMIC via the MPS I2C GUI and one-time programming (OTP). ⚠️ All changes made in I2C mode will NOT be retained once the EVB is powered down.
PC, and its supporting accessories. It provides I2C and PMBus capabilities. Together with MPS Virtual Bench Pro and GUI tools, it provides a quick and easy way to evaluate the performance of MPS digital products. For more details, refer to the EVKT-USBI2C-02 datasheet.
Section 2. Software Requirements 2.1 Software Installation Procedure Programming occurs through the MPS I2C GUI. Follow the instructions below to install the software. Note: Note: This software can be downloaded directly from the MPS website. 1. Visit the MP5416 I2C GUI page at https://www.monolithicpower.com/en/mp5416-i2c-gui-with-otp.html...
