[8] Be sure to wear insulated gloves when handling is required during operation. After Use [9] The ROHM Evaluation Board contains the circuits which store the high voltage. Since it stores the charges even after the connected power circuits are cut, please discharge the electricity after using it, and please deal with it after confirming such electric discharge.

The evaluation board provided here has only been subjected to functional testing under typical load conditions. The design of this evaluation board is tested by ROHM only as described in the user guide for this board. The design is not qualified in terms of safety requirements, manufacturing and operation over the entire operating temperature range or lifetime.
Current FPGA-based designs require highly integrated power supply solutions containing multiple well-defined and accurate output voltages. Starting up and shutting down an FPGA demands a well-defined power sequencing. The scalable PMIC BD96801 is a configurable power management IC that can quickly be adapted to work with various FPGAs. The voltages of the PMIC outputs are programmable via OTP setting or I2C.
The system is powered by a primary buck controller BD9F500, a secondary PMIC BD96801 as well as a termination regulator BD35395. The PMIC has preconfigured OTP settings which defines all required power settings, such as output voltages, protection levels and voltage up- and down-sequencing.
3.7. PMIC status pins The PMIC BD96801 has some status output pins that can be connected to free input pins of the Spartan-7 FPGA: INTB: this open drain pin is asserted to low level when PMIC indicates a warning. It can be connected to pin F15 of the FPGA by inserting the 0R resistor R563.
The test points TP132 to TP134 offer access to the I2C bus which may be needed to read out registers (e.g., status registers) of the PMIC BD96801. It is also useful to change settings of the PMIC BD96801 by programming the onboard EEPROM. Attention: be careful when changing settings! This may lead to the destruction of the board if not applied carefully.
TP3 (V_5.0) and TP4 (GND). PMIC BD96801: the PMIC starts up when first inserting a jumper between pins 1-2 of connector CN130, and then a jumper between pins 3-4 of the same connector. When the PMIC has successfully started-up, LED 100 to LED102 should be off and LED60 should be on.

EN-jumper (position 3-4). For further diagnosis: connect external I2C-USB controller board to Spartan-7 EVK and to PC/laptop. Read status registers of PMIC BD96801. PMIC 7-bit slave address is 0x60h. See data sheet of PMIC for register details. LED301 or LED302 is on, or Press SW304 (PROGRAM_B) to re-transfer FPGA code from onboard Flash memory to Xilinx LED303 or LED304 is off.
