Evaluation Software www.ti.com
2 Evaluation Software
LM10524 evaluation software is supplied together with documentation regarding the circuit. Download the
software to your PC’s hard disk. Run the software by double clicking the icon of lm10524.exe found in the
folder. The software does not require any installation.
The evaluation software (GUI) allows control of all registers necessary to program the device. To simplify
the use of the GUI, the registers are set by directly named controls. The user does not need the register
value as this is handled by the software. For example, to change BUCK3 output voltage to 1.0 V, choose
the related value and the software will send the correct value to the BUCK3 control register to update the
output level on Buck 3. To observe the corresponding change in the probes, check the Poll Status box at
bottom left.
3 Hardware Set Up
Please use ESD protection when handling the evaluation boards to prevent any damage due to ESD
events!
Connect the LM10524 Evaluation board to the USB port of a PC using the USB cable.
When the USB board is plugged in for the first time, the operating system prompts for “New hardware
found” and installs the USB driver. If this does not happen, try unplugging and plugging in the cable again.
Always disconnect the USB cable from the computer when changing jumper settings.
If the evaluation board is not responding or the evaluation software hangs up, disconnect the USB cable
for 5 seconds.

4.1 Operation
Once the evaluation board is connected to the PC, use the software interface to control the device.
The LM10524 should become active as soon as the USB cable is plugged in and ‘Power Up Mode’ is
clicked.
To Enable DEVSLP mode, PWR_UP mode should be pulled low using PWR_UP Pulse Button.
When the USB cable is plugged in, an orange led LD1 (DC IN) is lit. When the device starts up correctly, a
green LED, LD1 (PWR_OK), is lit. When the LM10524 is in devsleep mode, A red LED, LD2 (DEVSLP), is
lit. All the device functions can be accessed via the control buttons.
4.2 Main Screen (Figure 2 &Figure 3)
The right and lower part of screen is visible as the background for both tab screens. Common functions
can be controlled here.
4.3 Right Part of Screen
The Probe frame contains the results of the voltage measurements. Values can be read when the device
becomes active.
The Pins frame shows the status of IRQ pin & PWR_UP mode. It also contains checkboxes to control
DEVSLEEP and PWR_UP PULSE signals.

4.4 Lower Part of Screen
This part of the screen contains the following checkboxes and buttons:
• ‘’Poll status’’ checkbox: Allows continuous reading of the evaluation chip status register, the state of
I/O pins, and the voltage measurement results.
• ‘’Auto write’’ checkbox: If this box is checked, any change to registers will be written to the device
immediately. Otherwise, the user must press "Write regs" button to update registers. This way, the user
can change values in several registers and update changes simultaneously.
• ‘’Update’’ button: Reads content of every register and updates screen accordingly.
• ‘’Write regs’’ button: If Auto write checkbox is disabled, the user can press this button to update the
content of every register.
The status bar at the bottom right corner of the window indicates whether or not the connection to the
evaluation board has been established, and displays information about the last register write/read
operation. Register information is given in the format: "R/WXX:YY", where first letter indicates operation
(Read or Write), XX is the register address, and YY is data.
Figure 3. Log Tab
4.5 System Settings Tab (Figure 2)
Selecting this tab allows access to the controls of Buck1, Buck2 and Buck3 regulators, comparator
Disable, and PWR_OK pin polarity. It also shows a log of occurred events.
In System status/events frame, the user can observe the Status bits. Also, the user can enable Poll status
checkbox at the lower left corner of the window to get continuous status updates (1 update/sec).
In the Buck1, Buck2 and Buck3 frames, the user can set the output voltage of each buck regulator, enable
each regulator, or force it to PWM mode. Also in Buck3, user can set the output voltage for normal mode
and DevSleep mode.
"Misc Frame" contains controls for Interrupt pin polarity.
4.6 Log tab (Figure 3)
This tab records all SPI transfers. The user can copy write or read sequences to clipboard. The log
window can be cleared by pressing clear button.

and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for
successful communication. This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types
listed in the user guide with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.
Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited
for use with this device.
Concernant les EVMs avec antennes détachables
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et
d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. Le
présent émetteur radio a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés dans le
manuel d’usage et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne
non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de
