Section 3. Evaluation Kit Test Set-up
3.1 Hardware Setup
The hardware must be properly configured prior to use. Follow the instructions below to set up the EVB.
1. Locate the proper wires to connect the EVB to the EVKT-USBI2C-02 communication interface.
2. Connect SCL, SDA, and GND (see Figure 6). If needed, refer to the datasheet for further clarification.

3.2 Powering up the EVB
1. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the load to the SYS and GND pins, respectively.
2. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery to the VBATT and GND pins, respectively.
If it is a battery simulator, preset the battery voltage between 0V and 4.545V, then turn it off. Connect
the battery simulator output to the VBATT and GND pins respectively.
3. Preset the power supply output between 3.9V and 7.0V, and then turn off the power supply. Connect
the positive and negative terminals of the power supply output to the VIN and GND pins, respectively.
4.
Make sure the battery voltage has been preset
(if a battery simulator is used,
turn on the battery
emulator).
Turn the power supply on. The IC will enter the power on sequence automatically.
Reminder: if the battery simulator is connected, please make sure to turn on the battery emulator first,
before the input supply in the start-up sequence.
3.3 Software Set-Up
After connecting the hardware according to Section 3.1 and Section3.2, follow the steps below to use the
GUI software:
1. Start the software. It will check the EVB connection automatically.
If connection is successful, both the USB and MP2663 DEMO board statuses are "connected".
(See Figure 7).
