The DA9068 Evaluation Board (EVB) has been designed to allow measurement and evaluation of the DA9068 PMIC. The simple Graphic User Interface (GUI) is called Power Commander which allows the DA9068 to be controlled via a USB port of a PC.
Hardware The DA9068 EVB consists of two boards: 1. A daughterboard containing the DA9068, the essential external components and headers to allow test access. This board could also be used in standalone or as a module for a customer development platform. The term daughterboard is synonymous with mini board.
DA9068 GUI and Evaluation Board 2. A motherboard containing many circuit blocks that allows for flexible configuration and provides test access to the DA9068. It includes: a. USB Interface with Control Interface level shifters b. various switches: USB reset, ONKEY, NON2, 3.3 V reset, and TP c.
DA9068 GUI and Evaluation Board Power Supplies The DA9068 is powered from either: 1. +5V_DUT that can be driven from +5V_EXT (external power supply) or +5V_USB. 2. VBAT_DUT that can be driven from VBAT_EXT (external power supply) or VBAT_3V6 (on board regulator).

UM-PM-032 DA9068 GUI and Evaluation Board 8. Click Browse to locate the driver in the \Software\USB_driver folder on the memory stick. 9. In the Windows Security dialog, click Install. Figure 6: Successful Installation Procedure The Device Manager tab now shows Dialog USB Devices\Dialog USB Driver (DLGUSB).
DA9068 GUI and Evaluation Board Configuration Tab Start the DA9068 GUI program by clicking the shortcut in the Start menu. The best PC display resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels or higher. Font size on the PC display should be Normal (95 dpi). A display size other than the recommended setting may affect the way in which the panels appear.
UM-PM-032 DA9068 GUI and Evaluation Board Deselecting Autostart allows more options for evaluating wake-up conditions, but is more complicated to use. The command button Stop Program ends the DA9068 program. Configuration Tab Details This screen is used to: ● select a suitable template file for the processor ●...
Figure 8: Power Sequence Control Window This graph shows the relative timing of all the LDO and buck regulators, their placement in the slots, and the positions of the control markers. See the DA9068 datasheet for details. Changes to relative positions are achieved by clicking the appropriate edge and dragging it left or right.
UM-PM-032 DA9068 GUI and Evaluation Board The Power Sequence Control window options are: Labels Switches the labels on the left hand Y-axis between alias names and regulator names. Time Scale Switches the labels on the lower X-axis between slot numbers and calculated elapsed time.

To recheck, from the File menu, select Check Project. Check Trim This feature is no longer required for DA9068 as it is a mature product. (This checks to see if trim values are stored in the device. Samples are normally delivered tested and trimmed. If this is the case, a file trim.txt is generated which ensures that correct trim values are used instead of default values for all subsequent operations.
UM-PM-032 DA9068 GUI and Evaluation Board Status and Controls Device Status information indicates the current mode of the device. A flashing yellow indicator on Reset indicates that the status is invalid, probably due to communication not being established yet. Device status, ChipID, IRQ status, and RTC are read at one second intervals.

UM-PM-032 DA9068 GUI and Evaluation Board Slave Address: Set slave address of device. This affects all I communications. In Power Commander mode this should be 0x92. In normal mode it should match the port in use (Register INTERFACE). Note that this is the 8-bit value (92h for Write, 93h for Read).
6) to the device. The controls on the Configuration tab, and repeated on the GPIO and Event, Status, IRQ, SYS tabs, indicate the logic levels being applied to DA9068 by the USB interface. The grayed-out controls are indicators. They show the level at the interface, but do not drive it.
UM-PM-032 DA9068 GUI and Evaluation Board The Event Register is labelled with a register number in decimal and its hexadecimal equivalent. Hex equivalent of mask register bits. Name of mask register bits, and also event names. Event bit set. Press to clear and reset.
It is necessary to start up the DA9068 GUI with the board powered and a connection to the PC via the USB cable. A 7.5 V supply should also be available to connect to the VPP pin of the daughter board when programming the OTP.
UM-PM-032 DA9068 GUI and Evaluation Board NOTE The device should be in Power Commander mode with the slide switch in the right-hand position. 3. Press Start Device to initialize the device into the active mode. 4. Press Set All OTP.

UM-PM-032 DA9068 GUI and Evaluation Board It is possible to load only a limited number of registers. If the input value is zero no change will be made. To do this, select Clear Inputs instead of Set All OTP. This will set all registers to zero. The device may power down, but it will maintain communication and can be programmed.
