Smart Fuse Evaluation Module
Description
The HSS-HCMOTHERBRDEVM and corresponding
daughter cards (such as the HSS-2HCS10EVM)
are used to showcase and evaluate all features of
the Texas Instruments' smart fuse high-side switch
portfolio. The motherboard is designed to be used
with several different daughter cards enabling the use
of a single host EVM for a variety of different high-side
switches with varying on-resistances and functionality.
A pre-flashed MCU is included with each HSS-
HCMOTHERBOARDEVM to act as a USB-to-SPI
bridge and allow the user to seamlessly configure/
manipulate the device. This MCU communicates
with a Windows ® host GUI application titled Smart
Fuse Configurator to allow for full configuration and
evaluation of the attached high-side switch.
Get Started
1. Order both the HSS-HCMOTHERBRDEVM and
an accompanying daughter card (such as the
HSS-2HCS10EVM) on ti.com.
2. Plug the daughter card into the socket of the
motherboard aligning the dots to signify pin 1.
3. Connect a power supply to the VBB line (J9) and
connect the ground of the power supply to the
ground line of the board.
4. Connect the relevant loads to the outputs of the
board (J5 and J7).
5. Download the Smart Fuse Configurator from the
EVM product page.
