CDB5463U

1. HARDWARE

1.1 Introduction

The CDB5463U evaluation board provides a convenient means of evaluating the CS5463 power mea­surement IC. The CDB5463U evaluation board operates from a single +5V power supply. The evaluation
board interfaces the CS5463 to a PC via a USB cable. To accomplish this, the board comes equipped
with a C8051F320 microcontroller and a USB interface. Additionally, the CDB5463U GUI software pro­vides easy access to the internal registers of the CS5463. The software also provides a means to display
the performance in the time domain or frequency domain.

1.2 Evaluation Board Overview

The board is partitioned into two main sections: analog and digital. The analog section consists of the
CS5463 and a precision voltage reference. The digital section consists of the C8051F320 microcontroller,
EEPROM, the hardware test switches, the reset circuitry, and the USB interface. The board also has a
user friendly power supply connection.

1.3 Analog Section

The CDB5463U evaluation board provides screw-type terminals (J23, J27) to connect input signals to the
voltage and current channels. The screw terminals are labels as VIN+, VIN1-, IIN+, and IIN-. A simple
R-C network at each channel input provides a simple anti-alias filter.

The evaluation board provides three voltage reference options for VREFIN to the CS5463. The three volt­age reference options include: VREFOUT from CS5463, the on-board +2.5V reference, and external
REF+ (screw terminal J14).
on J25 in the position labeled VREFOUT, the reference is supplied by the on-chip voltage reference. With
a jumper on J25 in the position labeled VREF, the reference is supplied by an off-chip voltage reference.

Table 1 and Table 2 illustrate the options available for VREFIN. With a jumper

1.4 Digital Section

The digital section contains the microcontroller, USB interface, JTAG header, reset circuitry, and an ex­ternal interface header (J40). The microcontroller interfaces the SPI of CS5463 with the USB connection
to the PC, enabling the GUI software to access all the CS5463 registers and functions. Interface header,
J40, is provided to allow the CDB5463U to be connected to an external energy registration device or an
external microcontroller. To connect the CS5463 to an external microcontroller, R57, R58, R59, R60, R61,
and R62 must be removed from the board. The energy output pins E1, E2, and E3 are routed to LEDs
which provide a simple visual check of the energy output pulses. The MODE pin is also routed to a LED
to indicate whether the CS5463 is operating in auto-boot mode. Jumpers J10, J13, J15, and J16 are
equipped at the factory with jumpers to enable the LEDs.

1.5 Power Supply Section

Table 4 illustrates the power supply connections to the evaluation board. The +5V binding post (J3) sup-

plies the positive analog (VA+) for the CS5463 and the +2.5V reference. The VD+_EXT binding post (J5)
supplies the digital section of the CS5463 (VD+) and level shifters. Jumper J8 allows the VD+ supply to
be sourced from the VD+_EXT binding post (J5), the +5V binding post (J3), or the regulated 3.3V supply
derived from the microcontroller. The Vu+_EXT (J6) binding post supplies the positive supply for the 8051

DS805DB2 5

CDB5463U

microcontroller (8051_REGIN). Jumper J9 allows the 8051_REGIN supply to be sourced from either the
Vu+_EXT binding post (J6), +5V binding post (J3) or VD+_EXT binding post (J5).

1.6 Auto-boot Mode

With a jumper connection on J18 (AUTO-BOOT ENABLE), the CS5463 operates in auto-boot mode and
the CDB5463U board operates as a stand-alone system without attaching it up to a PC. When in auto­boot mode, a hardware reset (press on S1) will cause the CS5463 to boot up using the serial data from
the serial EEPROM on the board (U10). When the CS5463 is in auto-boot mode, the SPI connections

6 DS805DB2

CDB5463U

between the microcontroller and the CS5463 are removed and the GUI software can not access the
CS5463 registers and functions.

The EEPROM must be programmed prior to the auto-boot sequence. When the CDB5463U Evaluation
Board is sent from the factory, the EEPROM is programmed with the following CS5463 command/data
sequence:

1. Write Mode register, turn high-pass filters on:

0x64 0x00 0x00 0x60

2.

Unmask bit #2 (LSD) in the Mask register:

0x74 0x00 0x00 0x04

3.

Start continuous conversion:

0xE8

4.

Write STOP bit to Control register, to terminate auto-boot sequence:

0x78 0x00 0x01 0x00

This sequence programs the CS5463 for continuous conversion mode. If voltage and current signals are
applied to the inputs, the CS5463 will issue pulses on the E1
details on auto-boot.

pin. See the CS5463 data sheet for more

2. SOFTWARE

CDB5463U

The evaluation board comes with software and an USB cable to link the evaluation board to the PC. The
evaluation software was developed with LabWindows
tional Instruments. The evaluation software is available for download on the Cirrus Logic web site at

2.1 Installation

To install the software, go to the Cirrus Logic web site at http://www.cirrus.com/industrialsoftware and re-
fer to application note AN278.

2.2 Using the Software

Before launching the software, check all jumper settings on the CDB5463U evaluation board as described
in Section 1, and connect the board to an open USB port on the PC using the provided cable. Once the
board is powered on, the software program can be launched.

2.3 Start-up Window

When the software is launched, the start-up window will appear. This window contains information con­cerning the software's title, revision number, copyright date, etc. See Figure 2.

Figure 2. GUI Start-up Window

At the top of the screen is a menu bar which displays user options. The menu bar has three items: Menu,
Setup, and Quit. Initially Menu is disabled. After establishing a link to a data source, the Menu item will

become available.

CDB5463U

2.3.1 Setup Menu

Setup allows user to establish a USB communication connection with CDB5463U board or select a pre­viously saved data file for further analysis.

If the USB item in the Setup menu is selected, the evaluation software will poll the CDB5463U, verifying
the serial communication link is ready. At this point, the USB menu item is checked indicating that the PC
has successfully communicated with CDB5463U evaluation board, and device and micro-code version
information are read from the board and displayed on the screen. See Figure 3. Due to improvements to
the software or new features being added, the version displayed may be different than the image shown
here.

Figure 3. Setup Menu Showing Successful USB Connection

If the evaluation software is unable to establish a communication link with the CDB5463U board, a mes­sage will appear, indicating that the initial communication has failed. See Figure 4.

Figure 4. USB Error Message

Check to verify that the USB cable is connected properly and the power supply is on and connected prop­erly to the CDB5463U. Reset the board (press the RESET button on the board) and try to setup the USB
connection again.

DS805DB2 9

CDB5463U

If the Data from Disk item in the Setup menu is selected, a file selection window will appear as shown in
Figure 5. User can select a pre-saved data file for further analysis using time domain, FFT, and histogram
plots in Data Collection Window of the software.

Figure 5. Data from Disc File Selection Window

2.3.2 Menu Menu

Excluding the Start-Up window, the Menu menu provides 7 options: Setup Window, Calibration Window,
Conversion Window, Pulse Rate Window, Data Collection Window, EEPROM Window, and Debug Win-

dow. Each window provides a means to evaluate the different functions and performance of the CS5463.
Each option has an associated function key (<F1>, <F2>, etc.). See Figure 6.

Figure 6. Menu Pull-down Options

2.3.3 Quit Menu

The Quit menu allows the user to exit the evaluation software. Upon selecting Quit, a message window
appears and queries if exiting the evaluation software is desired. See Figure 7.

2.4 Setup Window

The evaluation software provides access to the CS5463's internal registers through the Setup window.
See Figure 8. The user can enter the Setup window by pulling down the Menu menu and selecting Setup
Window, or by pressing <F2> on the keyboard.

In the Setup window, all of the CS5463's registers are displayed in hexadecimal notation and are decoded
to provide easier readability. Refer to the CS5463 data sheet for information on register functionality and
definitions. See Figure 8.
