Getting started with the STEVAL-ISC004V1 evaluation board for the
STUSB4710A USB PD controller with on-board DC-DC
Introduction
The STEVAL-ISC004V1 evaluation board is a ready-to-use USB PD source based on STUSB4710A and ST1S14 ICs. It
demonstrates how to convert a fixed voltage DC power input into a USB PD variable voltage output.
The STUSB4710A acts as a T
converter and power paths, and monitors V
The ST1S14 device manages the step down conversion from the DC input port to the negotiated V
The various LEDs indicate the operating status of the STUSB4710A and USB PD port.
The USB PD port is pre-configured with five different PDOs to address a broad range of applications (5 V, 9 V, 12 V, 15 V and
20 V).

1.1How to use the board
Step 1.Connect a DC source with a minimum voltage of 22 V to either J0 DC socket or pins J0-A and J0-B.
Step 2.Connect the T
C cable. The green LED D12 lights up when a device is connected and the VBUS supply is present.
D12 lighting intensity changes according to the VBUS voltage value.
The STUSB4710A I²C interface can be used to customize application parameters: PDO, VBUS under
and overvoltage limits, VBUS discharge time, etc.

4.1Layout constraints
As the VBUS path can carry up to 3 A, power track between DC-DC, Power MOS and Type-C connector is large
enough.
Special care must be taken for DC-DC layout and thermal dissipation.
The STUSB4710A monitors VBUS and discharges the path. The monitoring signal should be separated from the
power signal and QFN exposed pad must be connected to global GND plane through vias to allow thermal
conduction.

5.1Power delivery through STUSB4710A and DC-DC regulator
STUSB4710A advertises the voltage/current couple capability on the CC line (power delivery objects or PDO).
Each object is linked to a VSEL_PDO signal which controls the DC-DC converter
When a contract is negotiated with the sink device connected to the Type-C connector
corresponding to the selected power object is tied low.
The equivalent resistor bridge of the DC-DC controller must be set to match the output voltage with the selected
PDO.
STUSB4710A monitors the VBUS voltage and disconnects the sink device when the voltage is not in the correct
range.
5.2Software configuration
The STUSB4710A settings are stored in non-volatile memory (NVM), accessible through I²C.
STMicroelectronics provides a graphical user interface for evaluation purposes to program this memory via PC.
The STEV
AL-ISC004V1 PDO memory settings must be aligned with the hardware resistor configuration.

5.3Hardware configuration
The buck application delivers 5 output voltages by default. The output voltages can be customized by changing
R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7 resistor values.
The STUSB4710A controls the output voltage through 4 GPIOs which change the voltage divider ratio on the
basis of the feedback signal to the buck controller.
According to the voltage tuning, the voltage divider based on R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7 resistors has to be
tuned accordingly

5.4Voltage output trimming
The output voltage control is based on the voltage divider variation. Each time a PDO is modified, the set of R3,
R4, R5, R6 and R7 resistors has to be modified accordingly
Note:
UM2293 - Rev 2
R2 is fixed at 200 k for the ST1S14.
Firstly, you have to calculate the resistor associated with the divider ratio for each output voltage:
