Using the EVB
Warning: Always wear Safety Glasses when working around electronic modules and when soldering.
Please remove the capacitor C4 when testing reverse supply on Vpwr.
1. The EVB allows the customer to quickly evaluate features of the device with a simple bench top setup. All switch
2. Using a standard 25 pin Sub-D parallel port cable and the enclosed SPIGen SPI Driver software, you can use a
3. Connect power supply to the VPWR and GND terminals on the EVB. Make sure the voltages provided are in
4. Connect desired external load between one of the output (OUT0 - OUT3) and power supply ground.
5. For direct control of the outputs apply +5V on connectors IN0 - IN3. Corresponding HS output turns-on. Each IN
6. For preparing the evaluation board for SPIGen, place jumpers JP9, JP10 to 1-2 position.
7. To use SPIGen, Go to the Windows Start menu, then Programs, then SPIGen, and click on the SPIGen icon.
8. To set up the device to read switch inputs the user may use the batch commands from the “Send a Batch of

accordance with the device data sheet and that the supply currents are sufficient to supply the switch contact
wetting current. For the SPI communication is needed +5V. This voltage can be provided from PC via parallel

The SPIGen “Generic SPI Generator” GUI will appear. Go to the File menu in the upper left hand corner of the
GUI, and select Open, then browse the CD to find and select the Device_EVB_CONFIGURATION_FILE.spi. file
for the Kit. Click Open, and SPIGen will open a specifically configured SPI command generator for the Kit. The
configuration file will set all parameters for SPI signals from the PC and provide a list of commands that may be
sent to the EVB.

batch of commands to the EVB, click the Send Once tab. To quickly evaluate the EVB and device, simply click
on the “Send one Command at a Time” tab, select the switch status command from the Quick Commands list,
and click the Send Continuous tab. The opening and closing of switches may now be seen on the Word
Received bits window field. Refer to the device data sheet for detailed information on I/O communication and
device operation.
