INTRODUCTION
The UCS1003-2 Evaluation Board provides the means to demonstrate all of the
UCS1003-2 functionality. The LEDs indicate the status information.
3.1.1
Power Source
The UCS1003-2 Evaluation Board requires 5V, 3.0A. It has two power supply
connectors:
• J6 jack for AC-DC wall adapters
• J4 for connection with wires from a laboratory power supply
The board allows using only one of these power supplies or both (for the evaluating split
supply feature).
According to the note from the Electrical Characteristics table from the data sheet, for
split supply systems using the Attach Detection feature, the V
S
must not exceed
V
DD
+ 150 mV. If this condition cannot be met, then V
DD
and V
S
can be tied together,
to avoid a voltage difference higher than 150 mV between them.
The V
S
and V
DD
supply source is selected by populating jumpers on the J5 and J8
headers. The two headers must always have two jumpers populated on them in total.
The board is not functional if the jumpers are populated in other configurations. See
for J5 and J8 jumper options.

Note 1:
Simple setup that can be made with the AC-DC adapter from the UCS1003-2 Evaluation Board Kit.
2:
This setup can be used to evaluate the charging process at different supply voltages (up to 5.5 V) and to
have an indication of the charging current from the bench power supply.
3:
This setup can be used to evaluate the split power supply feature.
4:
This setup can be used only if the USB port connected to jumper J9 is capable of delivering the required
charging current.
