INTRODUCTION The ADM00805 Evaluation Board for PAC1934 provides a flexible platform for evalu- ating PAC1934 and demonstrating the features of the PAC1934. A PAC1934 device in a wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP) is mounted to the board. The ADM00805 has a USB connector to connect to a computer for device communi- cation.
The application provides an easy way to control all of the programmable registers and read all of the results for the PAC1934 device on the ADM00805 Evaluation Board. To use this software application with the ADM00805 Evaluation Board, download the soft- ware and launch the application.
PC is a standard type-A USB 2.0 port. INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE Go to www.microchip.com and search for PAC1934. Select the PAC193X Demo Appli- cation and double-click the executable program to download the ZIP file. Extract the files from the ZIP archive.

3-5, which allows the user to select which type of refresh commands, if any, occur on the rising and falling edge of the SLOW pin transitions. Select the desired options and the GUI programs the Slow Register (0x20) in the PAC1934 appropriately (see the 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.
Page 21
Software GUI Description PAC1934 Data Sheet).This register is important if the SLOW pin is being used, the user will be able to capture the data for very accurate energy calculation when switching from a pro- grammed sample rate to the eight samples/second rate under control of the SLOW pin. If the SLOW pin is not being used, these settings can be ignored.
PAC1934 Evaluation Board (ADM00805) User’s Guide FIGURE 3-6: RECENT LOG FILE WINDOW PAC SETTINGS SECTION Each input channel of the PAC1934 is internally set for unipolar/unidirectional voltage on V and unidirectional currents on V by default. However, in the GUI, all four SENSE channels are configured for bidirectional currents by default.
Time to Show (3). Refresh Period determines how often the GUI reads the results from the PAC1934. This is limited to 50 ms maximum by the ADM00805 Evaluation Board hardware, not the PAC1934. The GUI performs the reading by sending a REFESH_V command to the PAC1934 and then reads all of the results registers.
Energy calculations are also displayed and take the sample rate, the elapsed time between refresh commands, the sense resistor value, and the full scale for voltage and current into account. See the PAC1934 Data Sheet for more information about Power and Energy calculations.

Four different results can be displayed for the same channel, the same results for all four channels or any kind of mix and match. FIGURE 3-12: PLOTS WINDOW 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002673A-page 25 Arrow.com. Arrow.com.
PAC1934 Evaluation Board (ADM00805) User’s Guide 3.6.2 Multiple Plots option For Multiple Plots option, the same results register from all four channels are always plotted together in each of the four windows. The drop-down menu is used to select which results are plotted in each window, as shown in Figure 3-13.
DEFAULT CONNECTIONS, DEMO MODE AND SYSTEM MODE The PAC1934 is placed at the center of the board, in a wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP), U1. It is surrounded by probe points with the pin names labeled. There is a provision for an input filter for each pair on input pins, but these are not populated.
USB connection. J27 allows the user to connect the external V , SCA, and SCL signals directly to the PAC1934. SW1 disables the USB bridge and level shifter and connects the pull-up resistors on SCA and SCL pins to the external V voltage.
MEASURING THE VOLTAGE AND CURRENT ON THE V WITH CHANNEL 1 Please note that the GUI is not capable of capturing data points as fast as the PAC1934 is capable of producing them. For this reason, the fastest rate that data can be captured and plotted is approximately one point per 250 samples when sampling at 1024 sam- ples/second.
Removing this shunt selects an 8 Hz sample rate for low power operation. The PAC1934 has a unique feature in that the status of this pin is tracked in a register bit. This allows the GUI to change the displayed sample rate to 8 Hz when the SLOW pin goes high.
