GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This user guide describes how to use the ADM1062 to
ADM1169 evaluation kits. The kits provide all of the support
circuitry required to operate the ADM1062/ADM1063/
ADM1064/ADM1065/ADM1066/ADM1067/ADM1068/
ADM1069/ADM1166/ADM1168/ADM1169 (hereafter referred
to as ADM1062 to ADM1169) in their various modes and
configurations, including multiple board setups. The ADM1062
to ADM1169 data sheets, available at www.analog.com, provide
additional information, and should be consulted when using the
evaluation board. All documents and software tools are
available at www.analog.com/power-management.
Note that USB-SMBUS-CABLEZ is not included in the
evaluation kit and should be ordered separately. Only one
dongle is required in multiboard cascade setup. One device
socket is included in each kit. Sockets for different device
packages are not included. Refer to the Socket Selection Guide
section for details regarding the corresponding socket types.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
The EVAL-ADM1062-69CASZ evaluation board is designed for
advanced evaluation of ADM1062 to ADM1169 SuperSequencer®
ICs. The board is easy to use, easy to probe, allows flexible
wiring, and offers multiple board cascadability.
SUPPORTED DEVICES
The evaluation board is designed to support all ADM1062
to ADM1169 devices in various packages. A device socket is
generally required for use with this board.
Devices can be easily fitted and changed using the ADM1062 to
ADM1169 device sockets. Solder pads for a single 48-lead thin,
plastic quad flat package (TQFP) is also available on the board,
allowing the user to solder parts onto the board.
Note the labeling on the board. For example, VP1/VX4 indicates a change in function depending on the ADM1062 to
ADM1169 device in use. The text on the left, VP1, is for use
with the ADM1062 to ADM1067 and ADM1166, whereas
the text on the right, VX4, is for use with the ADM1068/
ADM1069/ADM1168/ADM1169.
POWER SUPPLIES
The evaluation board can accept 9 V to 14.4 V from a bench
power supply through Connector J1 and Connector J2. It also
supports a wall-mountable switching power supply with the
same voltage range using Connector J3. J3 is grounded in the
core and has polarity protection circuits to prevent damage
due to incorrect polarity setup.
INPUTS EMULATION
Ten onboard adjustable voltage regulators from Analog Devices,
Inc., provide input supply emulation for all different setups
supported by the ADM1062 to ADM1169 devices. Each regulator operates independently and output voltages can be easily
adjusted by hand using an on-board rotating potentiometer.
Every regulator can be enabled or disabled by the user or by
the ADM1062 to ADM1169 device, depending on the jumper
configuration. Each regulator has an LED assigned to it to
indicate its status.
All regulators have a feedback pin that allows the user to evaluate
the margining function of the ADM1062 to ADM1169 devices.
An additional on-board two-way, push-pull/open-drain switch,
S3, can be used by the user to emulate digital inputs, if required.
OUTPUT SIGNALS
PDO output signals from the ADM1062 to ADM1169 devices
can be easily wired across to the regulator enable control
circuits to control the on-board voltage regulators. This allows
the board to perform simulations for real-world sequencing
applications. The DAC output signals can also be wired to the
feedback node of the regulators to achieve supply margining.
The wiring is made easy with the point-to-point patch cables
included in the evaluation kit. The user can easily cross link
the PDO output to a regulators enable input or connect DAC
outputs to a regulator’s feedback node.

I²C INTERFACE
The evaluation board supports an IC interface. The user can
connect from the PC USB port to the board using the USBSMBUS-CABLEZ dongle from Analog Devices. The dongle has
internal pull-ups for the SDA and SCL bus. Users can use their
own IC cable. The evaluation board can provide on-board
3.3 V voltage pull-up by populating R21 and R22.
The board is compatible with all ADM1062 to ADM1169
evaluation software.
MULTIPLE BOARD SETUP
Connector J7 and Connector J9, along with the eight-way
ribbon cable, allow multiple EVAL-ADM1062-69CASZ boards
to be connected together to evaluate complex cascade sequencing setups.
The connection cable carries both power and IC communication signals across every board that is connected. The user only
needs to connect the power and IC cable to one board. It is
recommended to connect the power supply to the board in the
middle of the multiple board setup to avoid uneven power
dissipation in the traces/cables.
Apart from power and IC signals, the cable also links three
independent GPIO signal lines between the two boards that
it connects. The user can connect them to the inputs and/or
outputs of the ADM1062 to ADM1169 devices to achieve
sequencing across multiple boards. This allows multiple
ADM1062 to ADM1169 devices to work together to increase
the number of supply rails to be sequenced and monitored.

MARGINING GUIDE
The ADP3331 LDO is used to provide adjustable VX and VP
input voltages.
The feedback topology for this part is different from other
regulators (see Figure 3). Another voltage divider is used inside
the part to provide feedback voltage to the error amplifier. This
causes margining calculation in the ADM1062 to ADM1169
evaluation software tool to be different.

A separate Excel tool has been created for users to calculate the
settings for margining function.
Note that closed-loop margining is less affected by this topology,
although the margining range may differ from the calculated
values in the software tool. For the VH pin, the use of ADP3367
results in the margining functions performing correctly with
both open and closed loop.

DEMO 2
Use the same method described in the Demo 1 section to
load the corresponding Demo 2 configuration .txt file into
the device.
The sequencing engine configuration in Demo 2 is more
complex and closely resembles the setup for a real application.
Most of the sequencing engine states use all three exit conditions, namely sequence, timeout, and monitor. The status of
each supply being enabled is checked, ensuring that all supplies
are powered up to the correct level and are stable before
advancing the sequencing engine.
If the supply did not rise to the expected level after the timeout
period, the sequencing engine can exit to a user-defined fault
state. In each state, the sequencing engine also monitors the
status of the supplies being enabled in previous states to ensure
the integrity of the supply chain. The status of each inputs can
be defined using the Inputs tab shown in Figure 15.
In Demo 2, a window comparator is applied to each of the
inputs except for VH. Use the knob of on-board potentiometer
to adjust the voltages on VXx and VPx inputs to the exact level
in order to advance the sequencing engine, starting from VX1.
Observe the sequencing engine advancement based on the
status of the on-board LEDs, or use a DMM to probe each VXx
and VPx inputs while tweaking the knob to get the accurate
voltage reading. For devices with ADC functions, use the
Readback tab to continuously read the voltage level on each
inputs as shown in Figure 16.
