The RAA210130 is a 30A synchronous step-down
DC/DC converter power module with integrated digital
PWM controller, smart power stage (SPS), output
inductor and passive components. The
RTKA210130DE0010BU is a socket board used for
programming the RAA210130 (shown in Figure 11).
The RTKA210130DE0010BU socket board is a 4.4in
x 5.0in 6-layer FR4 board with 2oz. copper on all
layers. Use this board together with the
ISLUSBEVAL1Z dongle and USB cable for
connection between the dongle and the computer.
The Renesas PowerNavigator™ can be used
together with this board to configure and program the
RAA210130 device.
This manual highlights the procedure to program the
RAA210130 module using the
RTKA210130DE0010BU socket board. For details
about the RAA210130 power module, see the
RAA210130 Datasheet.

1. Functional Description
The RTKA210130DE0010BU provides the peripheral circuitry to program the RAA210130. Connecting a jumper
between pin 1 and 2 of the VIN_CONNECTOR, allows using VIN to power the internal analog 5V and 3.3V
supplies. Figure 11 and Figure 12 show the photograph of the front and back of the RTKA210130DE0010BU
board.
1.1 Setup and Configuration
1. Disable output of the socket board (switch SW1). Note the ON/OFF position on the board. Connect the
ISLUSBEVAL1Z dongle to the RTKA210130DE0010BU socket board and plug in the USB connector to the
host computer. Make sure there is a jumper between Pin 1 and 2 of VIN connector behind the board.
2. Use the appropriate cables to connect the DC input power supply to banana sockets 12V0 and TP1GND.
Ensure that the polarity for the power leads is correct and the input voltage is within the operating range (4.75V
to 15V) of the module.
3. Use test points TP1 (VIN) and TP2 (PGND) for accurately measuring the input voltage. Use test points TP3
(VOUT) and TP4 (PGND) for accurately measuring the output voltage.
4. Ensure the power supply at VIN is off. Open the latch on the socket and place the RAA210130 module in the
socket. Location of Pin 1 of module is indicated in Figure 1. Close the latch of the socket to secure the module.
5. Turn on the input power supply. Turn the switch SW1 to the ON position to enable the module. 2.75V should
be observed on the output. Turn SW1 to the OFF position.
6. Launch Power Navigator on the computer.

7. Observe module part number and I2C address(0x60) under the scanned devices as shown in Figure 2.
8. Click on Open Existing Project as shown in Figure 2. Click on Change Folder if the configuration file is not
in the current folder. A window called Open Project pops up as shown in Figure 3. Click on Navigate to
navigate to the folder where the configuration file is stored. Select a project on the right-hand side to write to
NVM. Select Open.

10. In the configurations window, under Memory Config, select Save to NVM. Check that the CRC number shown
in Project information section is what is to be written. Under Save Project section, click on Refresh. Under the
Configurations section the word Save on the right of every Configuration ID turns blue as shown in Figure 6.
The first line under Configurations section shows the number of NVM saves remaining. Select a configuration
to save to and hit Save. In this example, Configuration ID 2 is selected. The user can select any of the 16
configuration IDs.
11. If the word Save Project in the middle section becomes blue, instead of the word Save on the right of every
Configuration ID after hitting Refresh, as shown in Figure 7, click on Save Project to save the changes to the
project. A Save Project window pops up. Click on Navigate to select the folder to save the configuration file.
Hit Save to save the configuration file.

12. After the project is saved, the word Save on the right of every configuration ID turns blue, as shown in Figure 6.
Select a configuration to save to and hit Save.
13. A window pops up (see Figure 8) for the user to confirm the use of 1 of the 28 available OTP banks to write to
the NVM. Click OK.
14. When saving to the OTP is successful, another window pops up (see Figure 9). Click Close Program to close
the Power Navigator. Power cycle the board.
