Getting to Know the Hardware 4.8.1 Compensation Network A voltage regulator needs feedback from the V voltage to be able to adjust (control) output voltage. For this reason, two bridges are CORE implemented in the external MC34FS6407 or MC34FS6408 circuitry. Static feedback (steady-state) voltage is defined by a simple resistor bridge (given by RA3/RB3 and RA4).
Page 19
Getting to Know the Hardware 4.8.2 Second Resistor Bridge - V Monitoring DRIFT To increase the safety level of an application, a second resistor bridge has been added. This bridge generates the same voltage as the bridge connected to FB_core pin. If the difference between voltages is greater than V , the FS state machine is impacted.

Accessory Interface Board Accessory Interface Board The KIT34FS6407EVB and KIT34FS6408EVB are generally used with the KITUSBSPIDGLEVME interface dongle (see Figure 6), which provides a bidirectional SPI/USB conversion. This small board makes use of the USB, SPI, and parallel ports built into Freescale’s MC68HC908JW32 microcontroller.
Page 22
Connecting the KITUSBSPIDGLEVME Interface Dongle A typical connection of KITUSBSPIDGLEVME Interface Dongle (see Section 5 "Accessory Interface Board") to the KIT34FS6407EVB or KIT34FS6408EVB evaluation board is done through connector J24 (see Figure 7). In this configuration, it is recommended that you use the EVB in a debug mode (J17 configured as Debug).
Installing the Software and Setting up the Hardware Installing the GUI Software Two different Graphical User Interfaces (GUI’s) provide the software interface that allows you to communicate with the KIT34FS6407EVB or the KIT34FS6408EVB. • SPIGen is Freescale’s generic GUI for use with the KITUSBSPIDGLEVME Interface Dongle.

Installing the Software and Setting up the Hardware Running the GUI With the KIT34FS6407/8 EVB’s, you are provided with two separate graphical user interfaces (GUI’s) that allow you to configure registers: • SPI generator (SPIGen) • MC3390X_GUI Both GUI’s are similar in function. You may use either one at your own discretion. 6.3.1 Running SPIGen To run SPIGen, do the following:...
Page 26
Installing the Software and Setting up the Hardware In order to fill a specific need, it is also possible to edit registers with another value and to save it for further use, either as standalone or inside a batch. Figure 10 shows a batch called “RST_counter_to_0”, as an example.
Page 27
Installing the Software and Setting up the Hardware 6.3.2 Running the MC3390X_GUI The MC3390X_GUI allows you to program all SPI features by using a friendly interface. Advanced users can also use MC3390X_GUI to modify the register table manually. To launch the MC3390X_GUI application, click on the application icon located either on your desktop or in Program Files menu as shown in Figure Figure 11.
Page 28
Installing the Software and Setting up the Hardware Click on the “KIT3390xxEEVB” button on the left side of the screen. (See Figure 13.) Click Here Figure 13. MC3390X_GUI Configuration Selection A screen similar to the one in Figure 14 appears showing the status of the registers at startup. In this example, register INIT_FSSM2 has bit IO_23_FS configured as SAFETY CRITICAL.

Installing the Software and Setting up the Hardware 4. In the right side of the GUI, select NOT SAFETY and send the command as shown in Figure Figure 15. MC3390X_GUI Register KT34FS6407-34FS6408UG User’s Guide Rev. 1.0 8/2015 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
Debug Mode The KIT34FS6407EVB or KIT34FS6408EVB is mainly intended to be used in Debug mode. In Normal mode you must either use an MCU that is able to manage the WD or you must disable WD. If WD is enabled, you must send a valid WD response at startup. The response must occur within the 256 ms windows after reset release.
