SOFTWARE OPERATION
The main window of the EVA L-AD5171DBZ software is
divided into the following sections: FUSE, RDAC, and
MANUAL DATA.
FUSE has the following options:
• BLOW FUSE allows you to program the fuses. The A11
link must be connected to 5 V. If the board is operated at a
different supply, close the program, change the link, and
rerun the software. Due to the supply voltage limitations
of the SDP board, the logic digital levels operate below a
recommended value (2.5 V), and proper communication is
not guaranteed.
• MEMORY STATUS shows the fuse status.
RDAC has the following option:
• Enter a desired value into the text box to update the RDAC
registers and click WRITE. When WRITE is clicked, a
write/read operation is performed, and the value displayed
in this section is updated with the actual RDAC register
value. This function can be used to verify whether the
write operation was completed successfully.
MANUAL DATA has the following option:
• A customized I
2
C data-word can be sent by manually
switching the scroll bars from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0 as
desired and then clicking SEND DATA.
EXIT closes the program.
