3 USB-PMBus adapter
The USB-PMBus adapter used with this board is the Flex KEP 910 17.
3.1
Connection of Flex KEP 910 17 USB-PMBus adapter
Connect the Flex KEP 910 17 USB-PMBus adapter to the PMBus
header, see position 5 in Figure 1a.
4 Power-up and Power-down Instructions
4.1
Power-up instruction
Before power up, read the following table to make sure the module works in the
best condition.
Note: The default switching frequency (f
sw
) is 500kHz, if the module work with
output voltage higher than 1.8V, frequency shall be changed, f
sw
change should
be done by using “Flex Power Designer” software tool.

Make sure Enable switch is set to OFF position
By default, the module is configured to set Vout with pin-strap resistors.
Make sure jumper in the position 10 is populated with desired Vout.
Connect power supply to connectors on position 1.
Connect load to connectors on position 2.
Connect the PMBus adapter/cable to the board.
Apply Vin = 6-15V through connectors on position 1.
Set Enable switch to ON position. The power good LED will give green
light.
Note: PG LED is powered by USB-PMBus adapter, so only connect demo
board with computer through adapter, LED will be lit when module Vout is
ready.
Then increase the load, and through K2 (position 7) to measure the Vout
and ripple.

R4 and R5
5 Address and VSET Resistor
5.1
Adjustment of address resistor
To change the address, change the resistor shown in Figure 2. Change R4
and R5 (position 11) to achieve the desired PMBus address for the
module.
Refer to chapter ‘PMBus addressing’ in the technical specification to select
the proper values.
Figure 2 Address resistor position, R4 and R5, is shown in the picture.
5.2
Adjustment of VSET resistors
Populate a jumper in each “Vset” position to get the desired output voltage. The
silk screen marking shows the voltage settings that can be achieved by populating
jumpers.
6 Test points
Input voltage should be measured at test points VIN/GND, which are
connected directly to the VIN / GND pin of the module.
Output voltage should be measured at test points VO/GND, which are
connected directly to the VO/GND pin of the module.

8 Electronic loads
In order to perform load transient tests on the modules, up to 2 pcs of PuLS loads
can be connected to the output of the board.
