The
POK Status and Fault Interrupt Masks
section (
) 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 data sheet for more information about the operation of the
POKB/INTB pin. Click

The
Output Voltage Configuration
section (
) configures the EV kit ICs output voltage. The output voltage is
changed by adjusting the internal reference voltage. Drag the slider to the desired internal reference voltage (or output
voltage) and click
Write
to change the output voltage. Clicking
Read
returns the programmed internal reference voltage
(or output voltage) to the GUI.
To make evaluation easier, the GUI software displays the corresponding output voltage value in the
Output Voltage
textbox based on the value in the
Internal Reference Voltage
slider. To obtain the correct value, check the
Internal
Feedback
or
External Feedback
checkbox corresponding to the EV kit configuration. For external feedback
configuration, enter the chosen feedback resistor values in the
Top Feedback Resistor
and
Bottom Feedback Resistor
text boxes to allow the correct calculation of the corresponding output voltage to be displayed on the GUI software.
Note:
Changing the
Internal Feedback
or
External Feedback
checkboxes (
) does NOT change the feedback
configuration on the EV kit. It is only for calculating and displaying the correct output voltage value on the GUI software.
If you wish to change the EV kit’s feedback configuration, see the EV Kit Hardware
for details.

The
Miscellaneous Configuration
sections (
) show the remaining register settings of the MAX77857. Use
these sections to control internal compensation resistance, switching frequency, switching current limit, forced-PWM
mode, and output voltage change slew rate (using the internal reference voltage DVS slew rate). Refer to the
MAX77857
IC data sheet for more information on each available setting. Click
