Evaluation Board UM-PM-010 Abstract This document describes the hardware and software used by Dialog Semiconductor to test and evaluate the DA9155M slave battery charger. The hardware solution is based on PCB numbered 287-06-A. The software uses a PC operating Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7 ™ with USB (1.1, 2.0 or 3.0) interface.

The performance board includes an interface connector to the communication board referred as the Digital I/O (DIO) board. This DIO board connects the DA9155M to a computer via USB-to-I2C, for status monitoring and control using the DA9155M Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Company confidential Board recommended operating conditions Table 1 lists the recommended operating conditions of the DA9155M Performance board. Stressing the board beyond these ratings may cause permanent damage to the board. Table 1: DA9155M Performance Board recommended operating conditions Parameter...
UM-PM-010 DA9155M Getting Started with Evaluation Board Company confidential DA9155M Performance Board Hardware The DA9155M board functional overview is shown in Figure 2. The board functionality can be broken down into the following functions: Figure 2: Functional overview Table 2: DA9155M Performance Board overview and descriptions Section No.
[Ref 1] and also shown in Figure 3 below. The same layout guidelines were followed and implemented for the DA9155M Performance Board, with the exception of the footprint for additional output capacitors are included in the board for experimentation purposes.
○ Input voltage VIN sense ○ Output voltage VOUT (measured at DA9155M output capacitor node) Figure 5: Test point J10 header Digital I/O board connectivity headers The DIO interface connectors select the signals from the DIO board to the DUT board and also provide test point terminals to monitor the different voltage rails of the DIO board.

Connectivity To evaluate the features of the DA9155M slave charger, it is necessary to connect the DUT to a computer to perform status monitoring and configure the device. The DA9155M Performance Board uses the DIO board as an interface to convert the USB datalink to I C bus on the DUT.
Before connecting a standard DC power supply to the VBAT terminals, ensure that the DC power supply is able to source and sink current. Once the DA9155M charger is enabled, current needs to flow into the VBAT supply. Failure to do so could damage the DC power supply and/or the DA9155M Performance Board.
Company confidential DA9155M Performance Board Graphical User Interface The user can explore all the features of the DA9155M with the Graphical User Interface (GUI) using the I C interface. This includes changing the control settings and monitoring the status/fault of the DUT.
12. If either one of these indicators is not green communication has not being established between the DA9155M and the GUI. It is possible to verify this by disabling the VBAT and the input voltage of the performance board, and then the green light should be disabled.
It is recommended to disable “Auto Status On” if other I C devices in addition to the DIO and DA9155M are connected to the communication interface, particularly if another I C master is connected, as this could create conflict in the communication link. If this is the case, the “Single Update”...
GUI will not perform any data manipulation or validation to the data written or read. File I/O is used to save all DA9155M registers to a file. This feature is helpful when used after the “Read All Registers”, as it will capture a snap shot of the device under specific test conditions.

Connect the USB cable: If not already so, connect the USB cable from the DIO port to the computer host computer. Using the GUI: At this point the hardware setup is completed and the DA9155M GUI can be initialized. Once the GUI is done loading check the Active Communication Indicator, see Figure a.
