Evaluation Software
LM10507 evaluation software is supplied together with documentation regarding the circuit. Copy the
folder
“lm10507”
to your PC’s hard disk. The software is run by double clicking the icon of lm10507.exe
found in folder. The software does not require any installation.
The evaluation software allows control of all registers necessary to program the device. To simplify the
use of the software, the registers are set by directly named controls. The user does not need the register
value as this is taken care of by the software, e.g. to change BUCK3 output voltage to 1.0V, choose the
value from the drop-down list and software will send the correct value to the BUCK3 control register. To
observe any change in the device outputs, the Poll Status check box must be set.
From the menus there is a facility to enable direct register access should the user require this.

Hardware Set Up
Please use ESD protection when handling the evaluation boards to prevent any damage due to ESD
events!
Connect the LM10507 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.
