USER GUIDE –MP8869S EVALUATION KIT (EVKT-8869S)

Overview

Introduction

The EVKT-8869S is an evaluation kit for the MP8869S. The MP8869S is a highly integrated, high-

frequency, synchronous, step-down switcher with an I2C control interface. The MP8869S is optimized

to support up to 12A continuous/15A peak output current over an input supply range from 2.85V to 18V

with excellent load and line regulation. This kit allows for quick evaluation of the MP8869S. By using the

I2C, users can set the current limit, slew rate, work mode, and output voltage. This device also features

telemetry, which provides output voltage and output current monitoring via I2C.

2.1 Software Installation Procedure

Programming occurs through the MPS I2C GUI. Follow the instructions below to install the software.

Note: In the near future, this software can be downloaded from the MPS website. For now, it is provided

on a USB thumb drive.

1. Plug the thumb drive into the computer using any available USB port.

2. Locate the folder containing the thumb drive contents.

3. Double click the .exe file to open the set-up guide (see Figure 4).

4. Follow the prompts in the set-up guide.

5. Wait for the status screen to verify that installation is complete (see Figure 5).

Section 3. Evaluation Kit Test Set-Up

3.1 Hardware Set-Up

The hardware must be configured properly prior to use. Use the USB cable to connect the EVKT-

USBI2C-02 communication interface to the PC, and 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.

Figure 6: EVB to MPS I2C Communication Interface Wire Connection

3.2 Powering up the EVB

1. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the load to the VOUT and GND pins, respectively.

2. Preset the power supply output between 4.5V and 21V, and then turn off the power supply.

3. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the power supply output to the VIN and GND pins,

respectively.

4. Turn the power supply on. The MP8869S will enter the power-on sequence automatically.

3.3 Software Set-Up

After connecting the hardware according to the above steps, follow the steps below to use the GUI

software.

1. Start the software. It will automatically check the EVB connection.

•

If the connection is successful, the address will be listed in the “Slave Address” (see Figure 7).

•

If not, a warning will appear at the bottom. There are two warnings users can expect.

1) “EVB is disconnected!”This means that the evaluation board is not connected (see Figure 8).

2) “Communication Board is disconnected!”This means that the USB I2C communication

interface is not connected.

2. If the connection is successful, proceed to Step 3. Otherwise, check connections between the EVB,

communication interface, and PC. Re-plug the USB into the computer and restart the GUI.

3. Click the PartSelect button to select the MP8869S (see Figure 7) (The default GUI window is for

the MP8861). The Register Control menu will appear on the left side. I2C register values will be

read and displayed on the right side after clicking the Read button (see Figure 9).

Figure 9: Values from I2C Shown in Table

4. Find the item you want to change and select the desired value from the drop-down menu.

5. Click the Read All button to update values. The changed information of the item will appear on the

right side (see Figure 10).

3.4Troubleshooting Tips

Note: USBI2C-02 and USBI2C-01 drivers are not compatible. USBI2C-02 uses USBXpress and USBI2C

uses Cyusb3. USBI2C-02 is the recommended device for MPS PMBus and I2C.

EVKT-USBI2C-01

In case that the USBI2C-01 driver is not properly

installed, manual installation is required. Follow the

steps below.

1. Open the Device Manager and select update driver

software (see Figure 11).

2. Click “Browse my computer for driver software”, find

the driver located on thumb drive and install.

EVKT-USBI2C-02

In the case that the USBI2C-02 driver is not properly

installed, manual installation is required. Follow the

steps below.

Note: Check driver version. Find “USBXpress” Device in

the Device Manager under USB controllers.

Right click and view properties. Check to make sure the

driver version matches the newest version (see Figure

12).

1. Browse the thumb drive contents and open the

driver’s folder.

2. Install the correct USBXpress “.exe” file.

Choose either 32 bit or 64 bit operating system.

32-bit: USBXpressInstaller_x86.exe

64-bit: USBXpressInstaller_x64.exe

3. Connect the EVKT-USBI2C-02 Dongle to the PC

with the USB cable.

•

No Supply

The MP8869S’s input pin has an under-voltage lockout

(UVLO) detection circuit. If the input voltage (AVIN) is lower than the UVLO rising threshold, the

MP8869S’s functions are disabled.

•

Shutdown Event

If the MP8869S detects that the input voltage is lower than the UVLO falling threshold (enter no supply

state) or over-temperature protection is triggered (enter power-off state), the MP8869S switches to no

supply state or power-off state, regardless of the current state.

•

Thermal Recovery

If the MP8869S is in a power-off state due to the die temperature exceeding the thermal protection

threshold, the MP8869S enters a power-on sequence when the die’s temperature decreases.

•

Shutdown Sequence

When the input voltage is lower than the UVLO falling threshold or the IC is over-temperature, the

MP8869S enters the shutdown sequence directly.
