MAX77831 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX77831
Configuration
The Configuration tab ( Figure 4 ) displays information
and status of the IC on the EV Kit as well as all available
register settings. It is divided into different sections: Chip
Identification, POK Status and Fault Interrupts, Output
Voltage Configuration, and Miscellaneous Configuration.
Click
Read Once located on the top of the GUI window
to obtain all setting values currently stored on all the
MAX77831’s registers. After changing the setting values
in the GUI software, click Write on the top of the GUI
window to apply all settings to the MAX77831’s registers.
Alternatively, click Read on each setting section to obtain
the setting values of that particular section currently
stored on the MAX77831’s registers. After changing the
setting values in the GUI software, click Write in the
corresponding setting section to apply the new settings
for that particular section to the MAX77831’s registers.
The Chip Identification section (
Figure 7 ) displays the
revision and version information of the MAX77831 IC on
the EV Kit. Click Read to obtain information from the IC.
The POK Status and Fault Interrupt Source section
( Figure 8 ) displays the power-OK status and any fault
conditions detected on the MAX77831 IC, which are
stored in the INT_SRC register. Periodically check the
POK Status and Fault Interrupt Source section during
evaluation to monitor the status of power-OK (POK),
overvoltage protection (OVP), output hard-short, thermal
shutdown (THS), and overcurrent protection (OCP). Click
Read to obtain the latest status from the IC.
The POK Status and Fault Interrupt Masks section
( Figure 9 ) configures the reflection of the bits in INT_SRC
to the POKB/INTB pin. If a bit is masked, its status in
the INT_SRC register is not shown on the POKB/INTB
pin. Refer to the Power-OK Monitor and Fault Interrupts
section in the IC datasheet for more information about
the operation of the POKB/INTB pin. Click Read to obtain
the setting stored on the IC and click Write to apply new
settings to the IC.
