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.
A FRDM-KL25Z is mounted to the EVB as an integral component. The FRDM-KL25Z serves as an interface between the KITPF3000GUI
and the PF3000 or between the PF3001GUI and the PF3001. Analog-to-Digital Convertors (ADCs) in the FRDM-KL25Z monitor the
regulator voltages through the GUI.

5. The 5.0 V input is provided by default (VPWR path.) To switch to the VIN path, first remove the glue from the SW1 switch, set it to the 2-3 position,
then connect the 3.1 V to 4.5 V supply to J4 and J3.
CAUTION
Using the SW1 in the 2-3 position will short J2 to ground (VPWR path). When using the VPWR path (J2 and J3), make sure SW1 stays
in the 1-2 position to avoid a supply short.
6. Board displayed in Figure 3 is Revision A. Hence, some jumpers in later revisions do not appear in the illustration.

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.
