Attention: The instructions in this manual work without V AC connection.
Attention: Before you connect the reference board to the mains, pay careful attention to the safety hints in
the recent “REF-XDPL8219-U40W engineering report”. Incorrect use of the reference board could
be dangerous, and even life-threatening!
2.1 Hardware connection
Connect the .dp Interface Gen2 to a notebook/PC with the USB cable.
Figure 1 Connection between .dp Interface Gen2 and notebook
Note: Sometimes the detection of the .dp Interface Gen2 fails on USB3.0 ports. Therefore, the use of a
USB2.0 port might be necessary (which can be provided by an external USB2.0 hub if the machine
only offers USB3.0 ports).

Getting started with the XDPL8219 reference board using .dp Vision
software
Getting started
There are two options available to configure the IC based on the parameter values in .dp Vision:
1) Non-permanent for testing
2) Permanent for regular operation
1) Test configuration
This function will download the parameter values from .dp Vision into the XDPL8219 RAM memory space, and it
will then be followed by an automatic IC start-up for application testing with the new configuration. As long as
the board is activated, the VCC is supplied.
Parameter configuration with this option is not permanent, because the loaded RAM content gets lost once the
IC supply voltage is turned off or the IC restarts due to certain protections. For detailed information, please
refer to the “dpvision User manual” in the “Documents” folder.
Table 2 shows the procedures for using the test configuration function in .dp Vision to load the new parameter
values in the RAM and test the application with the new configuration.
Table 2 Test configuration procedures
Step
Instruction
1
Open configuration file (see example in Figure 7).
2
Ensure ENUART,REPORTING parameter is disabled and change the desired parameter value.
Note: If the ENUART,REPORTING parameter is enabled, the success of the test configuration cannot be
guaranteed, because .dp Vision will show an error due to being unable to get the status from
XDPL8219 with UART reporting, after the automatic IC start-up with the new configuration in RAM.
3
Ensure that the primary supply voltage (AC input) to the board is not active and the hardware
connection for configuration is OK based on Figure 2 and Figure 3.
4
Press to supply power and establish a connection to the target XDPL8219. After this, XDPL8219
will be in configuration mode and the device status should change to .
5 (optional)
Ensure that the LED output is connected to a load, and switch on AC input (e.g. 230 V AC).
After this, the board will not start because XDPL8219 is still in configuration mode.
6
Press to test the configuration with target XDPL8219. After this, the IC will automatically start
normal operation with the new configuration and the window below will pop up:
Note: If the parameter configuration is equivalent to the pre-existing parameters, the XDPL8219
will not download them to RAM.
7
Press “Close” on the pop-up window.
8
To test another configuration, repeat these steps.
New configuration is successfully downloaded to
RAM and the application has started

Note: If there is any error between steps 1 and 7, refer to the message bar of .dp Vision for the error
message. For further information, please refer to the “dpvision User manual”.
2) Burn configuration
As the XDPL8219 chip on the 40 W reference design PCB has a first full set of parameters in its one-time
programmable (OTP) memory space, only changed parameters are written in the OTP memory. For detailed
information, please refer to the “dpvision User manual” in the “Documents” folder.
Table 3 shows the procedures to burn a parameter update in .dp Vision into the OTP memory.
Table 3 Burn configuration procedures
Step
Instruction
1
Load configuration file (see example in Figure 7).
2
Modify the parameter value needed, then press [File] >> [Save] or [File] >> [Save as], to save
the configuration file. Otherwise, proceed to step 3.
3 (optional)
Disconnect or turn off AC input voltage and check the hardware connection for configuration –
see Figure 2 and Figure 3.
4
Press to supply power and establish connection to the target XDPL8219. After this, XDPL8219
will enter configuration mode and the device status should change to .
5
Press to burn configuration into target XDPL8219.
After this step, a window pops up, like one of these below.
Note: If the parameter configuration is equivalent to the pre-existing parameters, the XDPL8219
will not burn them in the OTP memory.
6
Press “Proceed” or “Yes” to burn the configuration. After this, a window pops up indicating
success.
7
Press “OK” on the pop-up window then disconnect the programming cable from the board
connector and test the application, if needed.
