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 software permits configuration of the device using one pre-defined templates, read and
operations to all control registers while monitoring device status.
The section 'Quick Start Tutorial' provides an abbreviated quick start guide with a practical
configuration example on how to run the evaluation kit.

    Semiconductor for more information on how to obtain one of the transient injection boards. 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.
  • Page 10: Hardware Requirements

    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.

    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”...
