LM10524EVM User Guide

The LM10524 is an advanced PMU containing three configurable, high efficiency buck regulators for

supplying variable voltages. The device is ideal for supporting ASIC and SOC designs for SSD and

Flash drives.

Evaluation Kit Overview

1 Evaluation Kit Overview

LM10524EVM board operates through the USB port. The Evaluation Kit consists of:

• LM10524EVM Board

• USB Interface Cable

• Evaluation Kit Document (this document).

Evaluation Software

www.ti.com

2 Evaluation Software

LM10524 evaluation software is supplied together with documentation regarding the circuit. Download the

software to your PC’s hard disk. Run the software by double clicking the icon of lm10524.exe found in the

folder. The software does not require any installation.

The evaluation software (GUI) allows control of all registers necessary to program the device. To simplify

the use of the GUI, the registers are set by directly named controls. The user does not need the register

value as this is handled by the software. For example, to change BUCK3 output voltage to 1.0 V, choose

the related value and the software will send the correct value to the BUCK3 control register to update the

output level on Buck 3. To observe the corresponding change in the probes, check the Poll Status box at

bottom left.

3 Hardware Set Up

Please use ESD protection when handling the evaluation boards to prevent any damage due to ESD

events!

Connect the LM10524 Evaluation board to the USB port of a PC using the USB cable.

When the USB board is plugged in for the first time, the operating system prompts for “New hardware

found” and installs the USB driver. If this does not happen, try unplugging and plugging in the cable again.

Always disconnect the USB cable from the computer when changing jumper settings.

If the evaluation board is not responding or the evaluation software hangs up, disconnect the USB cable

for 5 seconds.

4 Using the Evaluation Software

Figure 2. System Settings Tab

The graphical user interface has a main screen with two tab screens which allow control and indication for

different functions of the device.

Using the Evaluation Software

4.1 Operation

Once the evaluation board is connected to the PC, use the software interface to control the device.

The LM10524 should become active as soon as the USB cable is plugged in and ‘Power Up Mode’ is

clicked.

To Enable DEVSLP mode, PWR_UP mode should be pulled low using PWR_UP Pulse Button.

When the USB cable is plugged in, an orange led LD1 (DC IN) is lit. When the device starts up correctly, a

green LED, LD1 (PWR_OK), is lit. When the LM10524 is in devsleep mode, A red LED, LD2 (DEVSLP), is

lit. All the device functions can be accessed via the control buttons.

4.2 Main Screen (Figure 2 &Figure 3)

The right and lower part of screen is visible as the background for both tab screens. Common functions

can be controlled here.

4.3 Right Part of Screen

The Probe frame contains the results of the voltage measurements. Values can be read when the device

becomes active.

The Pins frame shows the status of IRQ pin & PWR_UP mode. It also contains checkboxes to control

DEVSLEEP and PWR_UP PULSE signals.

4.4 Lower Part of Screen

This part of the screen contains the following checkboxes and buttons:

• ‘’Poll status’’ checkbox: Allows continuous reading of the evaluation chip status register, the state of

I/O pins, and the voltage measurement results.

• ‘’Auto write’’ checkbox: If this box is checked, any change to registers will be written to the device

immediately. Otherwise, the user must press "Write regs" button to update registers. This way, the user

can change values in several registers and update changes simultaneously.

• ‘’Update’’ button: Reads content of every register and updates screen accordingly.

• ‘’Write regs’’ button: If Auto write checkbox is disabled, the user can press this button to update the

content of every register.

The status bar at the bottom right corner of the window indicates whether or not the connection to the

evaluation board has been established, and displays information about the last register write/read

operation. Register information is given in the format: "R/WXX:YY", where first letter indicates operation

(Read or Write), XX is the register address, and YY is data.

Figure 3. Log Tab

4.5 System Settings Tab (Figure 2)

Selecting this tab allows access to the controls of Buck1, Buck2 and Buck3 regulators, comparator

Disable, and PWR_OK pin polarity. It also shows a log of occurred events.

In System status/events frame, the user can observe the Status bits. Also, the user can enable Poll status

checkbox at the lower left corner of the window to get continuous status updates (1 update/sec).

In the Buck1, Buck2 and Buck3 frames, the user can set the output voltage of each buck regulator, enable

each regulator, or force it to PWM mode. Also in Buck3, user can set the output voltage for normal mode

and DevSleep mode.

"Misc Frame" contains controls for Interrupt pin polarity.

4.6 Log tab (Figure 3)

This tab records all SPI transfers. The user can copy write or read sequences to clipboard. The log

window can be cleared by pressing clear button.

Menus

5 Menus

Under the “File” menu the user can save and load contents of register map.

Under the “Tools” menu, the user can open “Direct Register Access” dialog, shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4. Direct Register access

The registers may read and write binary data. Use hexadecimal values in address and data fields. Correct

data value can also be created by setting and clearing individual bits. Value is immediately written to the

device by pressing the "Write" button, and read from the device by pressing the "Read" button. Next to

each bit is a description.

6 Using the Evaluation Hardware

Connectors are provided to allow a battery connection and output voltage measurement. Jumpers allow

selectable or USB controlled settings for device functions.

6.1 Power Supply

The evaluation board may be powered from a battery connector or from the USB interface.

Set jumper between J2 pin2 and TP27 to use supply from USB. Maximum current for USB supply is 500

mA.

6.2 Control

A green LED (PWR_OK) will be illuminated once the LM10524 has started up. JP11 and J13 should be

set accordingly.

The logic signals can be controlled either by the evaluation software or externally through the connector

labeled ‘I/O LINE SEL’. Set the jumper block from JP2 to JP9 accordingly.
