C™ Programming GUI Overview
ZSPM4521 GUI enables the user to communicate with the ZSPM4521 EVB, monitor status bits, and change
settings. It is also designed to accommodate all ZSPM45xx family ICs.
Upon activating the software, select “ZSPM4521 PV Li-Ion Charger” from the drop-down menu under “PRODUCT
S
ELECTION” (see Figure 9.1).
This GUI is divided into sections as shown in Figure 9.1:
The “Status” section allows reading the status registers for monitoring the ZSPM4521.
The “Configuration” and “CONFIGx” sections allow programming different parameters in the ZSPM4521.
The “Reference” section provides information from the datasheet showing definitions for programming
values for configurable registers in
“Configuration” section. See section 9.3 for an explanation of which
register definitions will be displayed.
Note: At the bottom left of the GUI window, the status of communication of the USB to I
2
C™ interface is indicated.
The status should indicate
“Connected” as shown in Figure 9.1 if the cable is connected to the computer. If the
GUI shows “Disconnected,” ensure that the I
2
C™/USB cable is connected to the computer and the driver is
installed; then try again. If there is a problem reading values from the GUI, verify that ZSPM4521 EVB is powered
on.
