(MCU) with an integrated buck-boost battery charger. EZ-PD™PMG1-B1 is targeted for battery-powered
applications that are powered by USB-C PD such as cordless power tool chargers, wireless speakers, and
portable electronics. EZ-PD™PMG1 (Power Delivery Microcontroller Gen1) is a portfolio of high-voltage USB-C
PD microcontrollers. These MCUs include Arm® Cortex® CPU core, USB-C PD controller, and configurable
integrated analog and digital peripherals. EZ-PD™PMG1-B1 is targeted at embedded systems that power from
USB-C port and need an MCU to implement the product features.
Intended audience
This document is intended for designers who want to Sink or Source power through the USB-C PD port in
applications such as the cordless power tool charger, wireless speakers, and portable electronics. The kit can
be used to sink up to 100 W and source up to 27 W. The kit can also be used to charge 2 cell-5 cell batteries, and
the battery charging algorithm is implemented as part of PMG1-B1 SDK in ModusToolbox™software.

Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Note: The following warnings are regarding the hazards associated with development systems.
Table 1 Safety precautions
Warning: Remove or disconnect power from the drive before you disconnect or
reconnect wires, or perform maintenance work. Wait five minutes after removing power
to discharge the bus capacitors. Do not attempt to service the drive until the bus
capacitors have discharged to zero. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
death.
Caution: The heat sink and device surfaces of the evaluation or reference board may
become hot during testing. Hence, necessary precautions are required while handling
the board. Failure to comply may cause injury.
Caution: Maximum current that can be consumed by an external load connected to the
EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit board cannot exceed 7 A
Caution: The EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit board contains ESD-sensitive devices.
Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the human body and any equipment,
which can cause a discharge without detection. Permanent damage may occur to
devices subjected to high-energy discharges. Proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. Store unused
EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit boards in the protective shipping package
Warning: End-of-life/product recycling
The end-of-life cycle for this kit is five years from the date of manufacture mentioned on
the back of the box. Contact the nearest recycler to discard the kit
Caution: The EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit is intended for use as an evaluation platform for
hardware or software in a laboratory environment. The board is an open-system
design, which does not include a shielded enclosure. Due to this reason, the board may
cause interference to other electrical or electronic devices in close proximity. In such
cases, take adequate preventive measures. Also, do not use this board near any
medical equipment or RF devices.
Caution: Attaching additional wiring to this product or modifying the product operation
from the factory default may affect its performance and cause interference with other
apparatus in the immediate vicinity. If such interference is detected, suitable mitigating
measures must be taken.

PMG1 is a family of high-voltage power delivery microcontrollers. These microcontrollers include CPU core,
Power Delivery controller, and configurable integrated analog and digital peripherals. PMG1 is targeted for any
embedded systems that powers from high-voltage USB-C port and needs a microcontroller to control the
actions and features of a product.
PMG1-B1 is a new device in the PMG1 MCU portfolio with the following features:
•Programmable USB-PD 3.1 solution with an on-chip 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0 processor
•128-KB Flash
•16-KB RAM, 32-KB ROM
•Buck-boost controller
•Analog and digital peripherals such as NFET VBUS gate drivers, 12-bit ADC, PWMs timers, and 21x GPIOs
The EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit includes the PSoC™5LP-based KitProg3 module to enable programming and
debugging of PMG1-B1 without any additional hardware/ programmer module. There is an on-board Type-C
connector to interface with the KitProg3 module. The PCB design enables users to break away the KitProg3
section of the board if required. The portion of the board which contains the PMG1-B1 MCU can operate
independently even after the KitProg3 section is detached.

2.3 KitProg3 (PSoC™ 5LP MCU)
An onboard PSoC™5LP MCU (CY8C5868LTI-LP039)-based KitProg3 module is used to program and debug the
EZ-PD™PMG1-B1 microcontroller.
Figure 11 PSoC™5LP MCU device
The PSoC™5LP MCU device interfaces with a PC through a Type-C USB connector (J1), and functions as a
bridge between the PC and EZ-PD™PMG1-B1 MCU devices over SWD, I2C, and UART interfaces. The KitProg3
module gets power through the J1 port and receives and transmits data between the host PC through D+/D-
signals. The programming/debugging module can access the EZ-PD™PMG1 MCU device in programming or
debugging mode via the SWD header. In addition to being an onboard programmer, the KitProg3 functions as
an interface for the USB-I2C and USB-UART bridges.
The USB-Serial pins of PSoC™5LP MCU are hard-wired to the I2C pins of the EZ-PD™PMG1-B1 MCU, and these
pins are also available on the KitProg3 headers (J3 and J4).
The USB-UART bridge functionality is enabled by default by hard-wired connections of the UART lines between
KitProg3 and EZ-PD™PMG1-B1 MCU
The UART lines from the EZ-PD™PMG1-B1 MCU are routed to the MCU I/O header (J6) and UART lines from
KitProg3 are connected to the KitProg3 header (J3).

Hardware
Do the following to establish the UART connection on older revisions of the PMG1 kit boards as listed above:
1. Connect J6.10 (EZ-PD™PMG1-B1 MCU UART Tx) to J3.8 (KitProg3 UART Rx).
2. Connect J6.9 (EZ-PD™PMG1-B1 MCU UART Rx) to J3.10 (KitProg3 UART Tx).
2.3.1 Mode button
The KitProg3 mode button on the EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit enables the KitProg3 module to enter the
bootloader mode. The bootloader mode is required to update the KitProg3 firmware on the PSoC™5LP MCU
when the existing firmware is corrupted, or a newer version is available.
2.3.2 KitProg3 power and status LEDs
The KitProg3 power LED (amber) turns ON when the KitProg3 module is supplying power to the target MCU.
The LED will always be ON in a fault-free condition when the kit is powered through the programming
connector.
The status LED (amber) indicates the KitProg3 programming mode and the programming status. See the
KitProg3 user guide [6] for more details.

Kit operation or demo
3Kit operation or demo
This section describes how to configure the EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit to demonstrate its functionality as a USB
Type-C Power Sink/source mode.
3.1 External hardware required for demo
•A USB Type-C power adapter (for example, Apple power adapter, Google Type-C charger, HP laptop AC
power adapter)
•A lithium-ion battery, preferably 5-cell battery. For internal testing, a 5-cell DeWalt lithium-ion battery
(DCB210) is used.
•Electronically marked cable to connect the power adapter (if not already provided with the USB-C power
adapter) to the Type-C receptacle(J10) on the EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit
•A cable to connect the battery to the 2-pin output load terminal (J9)
•A 3-mm flat head screwdriver
•A multimeter to measure voltage.
3.2 Running demos
3.2.1 Demo#1 – Fixed output voltage in sink mode
In this demo, the EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit’s USB-C port operates in sink mode. The integrated buck-boost
output voltage is configured to 20 V.
3.2.1.1 Test setup needed for Demo#1
The following items are needed to perform this DEMO:
•USB type-C power adapter
•USB-C to C cable
•Electronic load
•EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit board
•Multimeter

3.2.1.2 Running Demo#1
Figure 13 Connection for DEMO#1 (sink mode)
•Program the EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit with USB PD DRP firmware or SINK only firmware by connecting a
type-c cable on J1.
•Use default switch settings as shown in Table 4.
•Connect the positive and negative terminals of electronic load to J9; follow polarity as shown on the
EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit board.
•Connect the USB-C power adapter to J10 of the kit using USB-C to the C cable.
•Blinking LED3 (STATUS LED) indicates the sink mode of operation, LED4 (POWER LED) indicates board is
powered.
Higher load current can be drawn by modifying input current parameter as shown in the Modifying
maximum input current in Sink mode of DRP or SINK firmware section.
Expected voltages and other behaviors are shown in Table 6.

3.2.1.3 Common problems and troubleshooting
If the demo is not functional, follow these guidelines to troubleshoot:
•Ensure that the correct firmware is programmed on the EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit board
•Ensure that the power adapter is working as intended.
•Ensure that the polarity mentioned on the EVAL_PMG1_B1_DRP kit board is followed.
Note: Better transient response can be seen if compensation network is modified to values shown in
Table 7.
