SC662 EVB Software Installation
The SC662EVB uses a USB compatible microprocessor to
communicate SemPulse
TM
commands to the SC662. The
software driver and executable program included in the
SC662 GUI Kit should rst be installed before connecting
the EVB to a USB port.
The following sequence is recommended.
Run USBXpressinstaller.exe
Place SiUSBXp.dll in the windows/system32
directory
Place SC662.xml in the same folder as
Semtech.exe
Plug the EVB into a USB port and conrm that
the USB device driver is found. USB 2.0 compli-
ant A to A cable may be used to extend the
board away from the PC for convenience when
probing the EVB.
Run Semtech.exe to start the user interface
EVB Operation
SC662 Software Interface Functions
The Semtech SC662 SemPulse Evaluator program fea-
tures are listed as follows.
1. Hardware Status A green Link Status Activity
indicator ashes continuously while USB is connected.
The green light gives no indication of SemPulse
activity.
2. Main Controls These buttons are used to enable/
disable the SC662 and to exit the program.
3. SemPulse Speed A pull down menu for setting the
data rate of the SemPulse. The interface is capable of up
to 1Mbps performance, however, the C8051 rmware
has an approximate maximum speed of 300kbps.
4. Register Map (Write All)One mouse click initiates
writing to all registers.
5. Register Map (8 bit binary data)Text color is red

EVB Operation (continued)
when data is in queue and green after sending.
6. Register Map (Register address in hexadecimal
notation) One mouse click in this box will send
the 8 bits of data located in the eld to the right of
register address eld. Text color is red when data is in
queue and green after sending.
7. Backlight Bank Cong. Pull down menu allows
the user to congure the LEDs as part of the main,
sub, or third display banks.
8. BL1 through BL6 On/O Control — Enables and
disables the backlights BL1 through BL6.
9. Demos This group in the upper left corner
demonstrates functions using the SC662 from a
single mouse click. Each button writes multiple
SemPulse commands to re-congure the SC662.
1 Bank Congures all backlights into one bank,
sets the current to 15mA, and enables the LEDs.
2 BanksCongures 3 backlights for the main bank
and 3 backlights for the sub bank, sets main current to
15mA and sub current to 1.0mA, and enables the LEDs.
Fade to 15mA Sets the main fade control to 6ms per
step and sets the main bank to 15mA. The main bank
will then fade from the current active setting to 15mA.
Fade to 0mA Sets the main fade control to 6ms
per step and sets the main bank to 0mA. The main
bank will fade from the current active setting to 0mA.
All Banks O Resets all registers to zero. The
backlights will be disabled.
10. Main BL Current Sets the current for main backlight
LEDs between 0mA and 25mA.
11. Sub BL Current Sets the current for sub backlight
LEDs between 0mA and 25mA.
12. Third BL Current Sets the current for third backlight
LEDs between 0mA and 25mA.
13. Main Fade ControlEnables and disables the fade
feature to the main display and sets the rate of fade to
2, 4, or 6ms per step. Many non-programmable steps
are included when fading. Refer to the applications
information in the datasheet for more details on the
fade function.
14. Frequency Selection The charge pump has two
selectable clock frequencies, 250kHz and 1MHz.
250kHz provides slightly better quiescent current
compared to 1MHz. 1MHz typically provides improved
ripple performance compared with 250kHz.
15. LDO Supply Voltage An adjustable voltage supply
for the SC662 is provided by an on-board SC560A
LDO. The LDO is programmable between 4.16V and
2.89V in increments of 10mV the approximate
range provided by a typical Li-Ion battery. Typical LDO
output accuracy is 1%. The LDO output is provided
as a tool to demonstate performance of the SC662
in each of charge pump modes, 1x, 1.5x, and 2x. The
default state for the LDO is 4.16V when the main
control is enabled.
SC662 Evaluation and Measurement Tips
This section provides setup information about the EVB.
Install the software and plug the EVB into a USB
port. Suggestion: A USB A to A cable may be
used to relocate the EVB away from the USB port
for easier access to the board while taking
measurements.
R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are zero ohm resistors in
series between the sink pins (BL1 through BL6)
and the LED cathodes of D1 through D6. The
resistors may be removed for experimentation
and replaced with 1% sense resistors for mea-
suring current with a voltmeter at 1mV/1mA.
Test points are provided for voltage measure-
ment at the right edge of the card (as shown on
page 1) for SPIF, VIN, VOUT, and GND.
