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.
1.2Evaluation 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.

1.3Analog 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.

1.4Digital 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.
1.5Power 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
DS805DB25
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).

1.6Auto-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
6DS805DB2
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

12DS805DB2
CDB5463U
2.4.1Refresh Screen Button
The Refresh Screen button will update the contents of the screen by reading all the register values from
the CS5463. It is a good idea to press the Refresh Screen button when entering the Setup window, or
after modifying any registers, to reflect the current status of the CS5463.
2.4.2Reset DUT Button
The Reset DUT button will hardware reset the CS5463. The CS5463 will perform a reset as discussed in
the CS5463 data sheet. After the hardware reset to the CS5463 device, the screen contents will be automatically refreshed with the updated status of the CS5463.
2.4.3CS5463 Crystal Frequency
The CS5463 accepts a wide range of crystal input frequencies, and can therefore run at many different
sample rates. The crystal frequency being used on the CS5463 should be entered in this field to provide
accurate frequency calculation in the FFT window. This will also help the software decide which functions
the evaluation system can perform reliably.
2.4.4Configuration Register
In the Configuration Register box, the contents of the Config register can be modified by typing a hexadecimal value in the HEX: field, or by changing any of the values below the HEX: field to the desired settings. Although the CDB5463U software allows the user to modify any of the bits in the Config register,
changing certain bits may cause the software and board to behave erratically. For the evaluation system
to function properly, the Interrupt Output field should be set to the default Active Low. This applies only to
the CDB5463U evaluation system, and not to the CS5463 chip itself.
2.4.5Temperature, Voltage SAG, Current Fault Registers
These fields display the values of the corresponding registers in both hexadecimal and decimal format.
Each register can be modified by typing a value in the corresponding offset, level, duration, or gain value
field (decimal) or HEX: field (hexadecimal).
2.4.6Mask Register / Status Register
The Mask Register / Status Register box displays the values for these registers in hexadecimal and decodes them to indicate each bit's function. The Mask register can be modified by typing a value in the
HEX: field, or by checking the appropriate check boxes for the bits that are to be masked. The Status register cannot be directly modified. It can only be reset by pressing the Clear Status Register button. The
HEX: field for this register and the lamps are indicators only. A lamp which is on means that the corresponding bit in the Status register is set (except the Invalid Command bit, which is inverted). The value
present in the Mask register may be changed by the software during certain operations to provide correct
functionality of the CDB5463U board.
2.4.7Cycle Count / PulseRateE Register
These fields display the values of the corresponding registers in both hexadecimal and decimal format.
Each register can be modified by typing a value in the corresponding Value: or HEX: field.
DS805DB213
CDB5463U
2.4.8Control Register
The Control Register box contains various bits used to activate or terminate various features of the
CS5463. Refer to the CS5463 data sheet for descriptions of the bits. The user is able to turn each bit on
or off individually. The value of the Ctrl register is displayed in the HEX: field. Most of the Ctrl register bits
are reserved or unused. Only the usable bits are displayed in the Setup window.
2.4.9Operational Modes Register
The Operational Modes Register box contains various bits used to set different operation modes for the
CS5463 functions. Refer to the CS5463 data sheet for descriptions of the bits. The value of the Mode register is displayed in the HEX: field. Many of the Mode register bits are reserved or unused. Only the usable
bits are displayed in the Setup window.
2.5Calibration Windows
The Calibration window is used to display and write to the CS5463 offset and gain calibration registers.
The user is also able to initiate the CS5463's calibration sequences that are used to set the calibration
values. Both AC and DC calibrations can be performed for offset and gain, for either the voltage channel
or the current channel, or both simultaneously. The user should refer to the CS5463 data sheet for more
details on calibration.
The Refresh Screen button will update the contents of the screen by reading all the register values from
the CS5463. It is a good idea to press the Refresh Screen button when entering the Calibration window,
or after modifying any registers to reflect the current status of the CS5463.
Figure 9. Calibration Window
14DS805DB2
CDB5463U
2.5.1Offset / Gain Register
In the Offset & Gain fields, the offset and gain registers for both channels are displayed in hexadecimal
and decimal formats. These registers can be modified directly by typing the desired value in the hexadecimal display fields. There are two types of offset registers: DC offset and AC offset. The AC Offset register
only affects the RMS register values. The DC & AC offset registers are two's complement numbers whose
values ranges from -1 to +1. The gain register value ranges from 0 to 4.
2.5.2Performing Calibrations
Offset and gain calibrations can be performed on both the voltage and current channels of the CS5463.
Because the initial values in the calibration registers will affect the results of the calibrations, it is generally
a good idea to software reset the CS5463 before running calibrations. A software reset will reset these
registers back to the default values of zero offset and unity gain. Offset calibration should be performed
before gain calibration to ensure accurate results.
2.5.2.1Offset Calibrations
1. Ground the channel(s) you want to calibrate directly at the channel header(s) J17 and J22 for the voltage
channel, and J24 and J26 for the current channel. The channel(s) could also be grounded directly at the
screw terminals.
2. Press the corresponding AC or DC offset calibrate button (Cal V, Cal I, or Cal Both) beside or below the
corresponding offset registers fields.
The calibration value(s) will automatically update when the calibration is completed.
2.5.2.2Gain Calibrations
1. Attach an DC or AC calibration signal to the screw terminals, and make sure the corresponding channel
headers (J17, J22, J24, and J26) are set to the input position.
2. Press the corresponding AC or DC gain calibrate button (Cal V, Cal I, or Cal Both) beside or below the GainRegisters fields.
The calibration value(s) will automatically update when the calibration is completed.
The Calibration Window also contains the Power Offset Register display and adjustment. The user can
read and write the value in the power offset (Poff) register.
DS805DB215
CDB5463U
2.6Conversion Window
The Conversion Window allows the user to see the results of single and continuous conversions, perform
data averaging, and utilize the power-saving modes of the CS5463. See Figure 10. The Conversion Window can be accessed by pulling down the Menu option, and selecting Conversion Window, or by pressing
F4.
Figure 10. Conversion Window
2.6.1Single Conversion Button
Pressing this button will cause a single conversion to be performed. After a single conversion is complete,
the Result column will be updated with the values present in each data register.
2.6.2Continuous Conversion Button
Pressing this button will cause continuous conversions to be performed until the user presses the Stop
button. After each conversion is complete, the Result column will be updated with the values present in
each data register. The Mean and Standard Deviation columns will be updated every N cycles, where N
is the number in the Samples to Average field. If the Samples to Average is set to a large number, it may
take many collection cycles after pressing the Stop button before the data actually stops being collected.
16DS805DB2
CDB5463U
2.6.3Standby / Sleep Mode Buttons
When these buttons are pressed, the CS5463 will enter either standby or sleep power saving modes. To
return to normal mode, press the Power Up button.
2.6.4Power Up Button
This button is used to send the Power Up/Halt command to the CS5463. The part will return to normal
operating mode and halt any conversions that are being done at this time.
2.6.5Temperature Settings Window
The Temperature Settings Window is used to adjust the temperature offset register (Toffset) and temperature gain register (Tgain) to convert the temperature register (T) from a Celsius scale (°C) to a Fahrenheit
scale (°F) or vice versa and to improve temperature measurement accuracy. Refer to the CS5463 data
sheet for the details of the on-chip temperature sensor.
2.6.6Write Data to File Window
This window provides a means to write the conversion result data to a .txt text file for later analysis or
print out. The file path and name will be shown in Filename field. The Open File button is used to open a
new or existing .txt text file for data writing. Each time the Write Data button is pressed, the result data is
written into the file and the Number of Lines Written field value will be increased by 1.
DS805DB217
CDB5463U
2.7Pulse Rate Window
The CS5463 features a pulse-rate energy output. The CDB5463U has the capability to demonstrate the
functionality of this output in the Pulse Rate Output Window. See Figure 11. The Pulse Rate Output Win-
dow can be accessed by pressing <F5>, or by pulling down the Menu menu, and selecting the Pulse Rate
Window item.
Figure 11. Pulse Rate Output Window
2.7.1Integration Seconds
This field allows the user to select the length of time over which pulses will be collected. Because there is
a time delay (2x N / OWR) from start conversion to pulse output, the Integration Seconds field is normally
set to a delay longer than the actual pulsing period.
2.7.2Periods To Average
This field allows the user to average a number of integration periods.
2.7.3Start Button
When the Start button is pressed, the CDB5463U will capture pulse rate data according to the values in
the Integration Seconds and Periods to Average fields. After each integration period, the Pulse Count and
Frequency columns will be updated. The Average Frequency and Standard Deviation columns will only
be updated after all the integrations have been collected. The software stops collecting data when the
user presses the Stop button, or when the data collection is finished. Due to speed limitations of the on-
board microcontroller, some higher pulse rates cannot be accurately collected.
18DS805DB2
CDB5463U
2.8Data Collection Window
The Data Collection Window (Figure 12) allows the user to collect sample sets of data from the CS5463

4. The data from the file should appear on the screen. To select a different file, repeat the procedure.
2.8.10Analyzing Data
The evaluation software provides three types of analysis tests: Time Domain, Frequency Domain, and
Histogram. The time domain analysis processes acquired conversions to produce a plot of magnitude ver-
sus conversion sample number. The frequency domain analysis processes acquired conversions to produce a plot of magnitude versus frequency using the Fast-Fourier transform (results up to Fs/2 are
calculated and plotted). Also statistical noise calculations are calculated and displayed. The histogram
