MAX20360 Evaluation Kit

Detailed Description of Software

Software Startup

Upon starting the program, the EV kit software automati-

cally searches for the USB interface circuit and then for

the IC device addresses. The EV kit enters the normal

operating mode when the connection is established and

addresses are found. If the USB connection is not detect-

ed, the status bar displays

Not Connected. If the USB

connection is detected, but the MAX20360 is not found,

the status bar shows

MAX20360 Not Found.

ToolStrip Menu Bar

The ToolStrip menu bar (Figure 3) is located at the top

of the GUI window. This bar comprises

File, Device,

Options, and Help menus; each function is detailed in

the following sections.

File Menu

The

File menu contains the option to exit out of the GUI

program.

Device Menu

The

Device menu provides the ability to connect or

disconnect the EV kit to the GUI. The

Advanced → I2C

Read/Write menu allows to read from or write to a select-

ed register with a specified slave address. The

Advanced

→ Use USB2PMB2# option should be checked if using

with the USB2PMB2# adapter board.

Options Menu

The

Options menu provides several settings to access

additional features offered by the GUI. The

Disable

Polling option allows registers to be read manually

instead of receiving automatic frequent register updates

from the IC. The

Lock/Unlock option allows for the lock

or unlock of the charger, bucks, boost, buck-boost, and

LDOs through I2C. The

Use Fletcher-16 Checksum

is checked by default. The EV kit IC has the checksum

enabled (i2c_crc_ena = enabled). Uncheck the

Use

Fletcher-16 Checksum if evaluating an IC with check-

sum option disabled.

plays the GUI splash screen indicative of the GUI version

being used.
