3 Getting to Know the Hardware

3.1 Board Overview

The KITPF3000FRDMEVM Evaluation Board (EVB) is an easy-to-use circuit board allowing the user to exercise all the functions of the
PF3000 and PF3001 Power Management IC. This board can be used to emulate the PF3001.

4.4 Understanding and Using the GUI

4.4.1 GUI Structure for PF3000

Figure 10 shows the different components of the GUI.

To enable the volt meters on the board, click on the "Read Meters" button located in the bottom left of the window. The output of the meters
is displayed in the right side of the window. Clicking the "Enable Live Meters" button enables continuous polling of the meters.

You are encouraged to explore the different tables, buttons and sliders in the various tabs of the GUI.

4.4.2 Try-Before-Buy Mode using the “Configuration” Tab

The PF3000FRDMPEVM comes with a PF3000 device whose OTP memory is pre-programmed. The PF3000 allows the user to override
the OTP memory using the "Try-Before-Buy" mode.

To use this mode, go to the "Configuration" tab and click on the "Enter TBB Mode" button in the top-right of the window. Use the drop down
options to change the voltage, sequence and configuration of the regulators. Click the "Update" button after all the desired options are
selected.

To restart the PF3000 using the selected configuration, click on the "Restart PMIC" button. Alternatively, you can toggle the PWRON button
to initiate the startup. The startup sequence can be monitored on an oscilloscope and will match this selection in the "Configuration" tab.
To measure voltages, use either a stand-alone meter or the on-board meters available in the GUI.

Use the "Save Configuration" and "Load Configuration" buttons to save the configuration for later use.

4.4.3 GUI Structure for PF3001

Figure 12 shows the different components of the GUI.

To enable the volt meters on the board, click on the "Read Meters" button located in the bottom left of the window. The output of the meters
is displayed in the right side of the window. Clicking the "Enable Live Meters" button enables continuous polling of the meters.
