4 TMCL-IDE Evaluation Features

This section gives tips on using TMCL-IDE.
NOTE

4.1 General Settings

To configure general settings for the MAX22216-EVAL, open the MAX22216 General Settings tool by click-
ing the appropriate entry in the tool tree. This tool usually includes settings to control the IC globally e.g.
to turn it on or set special modes.
To get the MAX22216-EVAL started, set the part to ACTIVE, clear the flags within the EvalBoard Flags Tool,
and select the desired output configuration through CHS. For a more stable SPI communication, CRC can
be enabled. This automatically sets the needed CRC-ENABLE pin of the MAX22216 and appends the CRC
checksum to the communication.
The voltage control is VDRDUTY by default but VDRnVDRDUTY can change it to VDR. In VDRDUTY, a fixed duty
cycle is given to the output and the voltage changes with input-voltage changes. In VDR, the set output
voltage is fixed and adapted to input-voltage changes.
To achieve optimal settings, refer to the descriptions and flow charts in the
MAX22216 data sheet. The register browser of the TMCL-IDE provides helpful in-
formation about any currently selected parameter. Beyond that, the data sheet
explains concepts and ideas which are essential for understanding how the reg-
isters are linked together and which settings are suitable for the application. At
first, to get more familiar with the evaluation board, drive the load using the
solenoid sequencer.
