Important notice
NXP provides the enclosed product(s) under the following conditions:
This evaluation kit is intended for use of ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT OR
EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY. It is provided as a sample IC pre-soldered to a
printed circuit board to make it easier to access inputs, outputs, and supply terminals.
This evaluation board may be used with any development system or other source of
I/O signals by simply connecting it to the host MCU or computer board via off‑the‑shelf
cables. This evaluation board is not a Reference Design and is not intended to represent
a final design recommendation for any particular application. Final device in an
application will be heavily dependent on proper printed circuit board layout and heat
sinking design as well as attention to supply filtering, transient suppression, and I/O
signal quality.
The goods provided may not be complete in terms of required design, marketing, and
or manufacturing related protective considerations, including product safety measures
typically found in the end product incorporating the goods. Due to the open construction

returned within 30 days from the date of delivery and will be replaced by a new kit.
NXP reserves the right to make changes without further notice to any products herein.
NXP makes no warranty, representation or guarantee regarding the suitability of its
products for any particular purpose, nor does NXP assume any liability arising out of the
application or use of any product or circuit, and specifically disclaims any and all liability,
including without limitation consequential or incidental damages. “Typical” parameters
can and do vary in different applications and actual performance may vary over time.
All operating parameters, including “Typical”, must be validated for each customer
application by customer’s technical experts.

Overview of the PF1510 PMIC development environment
NXP offers a combination of boards that support the evaluation of the PF1510 power
management integrated circuit (PMIC).
The FRDM-PF1510EVM boards serve as an evaluation platform that allows users to test
and demo designs that incorporate the PF1510 PMIC. The evaluation board contains
a preconfigured MC32PF1510A4EP device and provides numerous jumpers and test
points that allow users to tailor the evaluation to their needs.
The kit comes with a FRDM-KL25Z already mounted and loaded with compatible
microcode. The primary function of the FRDM-KL25Z is to control communication
between the evaluation board and a PC.

FRDM-KL25Z Freedom development platform
The NXP Freedom development platform is a set of software and hardware tools for
evaluation and development. It is ideal for rapid prototyping of microcontroller-based
applications. The NXP Freedom KL25Z hardware, FRDM-KL25Z, is a simple, yet
sophisticated design featuring a Kinetis L series microcontroller, the first microcontroller
of the industry built on the Arm Cortex-M0+ core.
6.1 Connecting the FRDM-KL25Z to the board
The FRDM-KL25Z evaluation board was chosen specifically to work with the
FRDM‑PF1510EVM kit because of its low cost and features. The FRDM-KL25Z board
uses the USB, built-in LEDs, and I/O ports available with NXPs Kinetis KL2x family of
microcontrollers.
The FRDM-PF1510EVM connects to the FRDM-KL25Z using the four dual row Arduino
R3 connectors on the bottom of the board.

7.2 Configuring the hardware and using the GUI for control and
monitoring
Figure 6. Hardware configuration
1. Apply input voltage to the board.
• First solution is to use power directly from the FRDM-KL25Z by connecting J12
jumper. Advantage of this configuration is that only one USB port (USB for GUI
communication) is needed. This solution may have limited performance because of
the current capability of the USB port.
• Second possibility is to use 5.0 V either from USB input (J3) or from DC power
supply. In these cases, keep J12 open. The DC power supply connection is
recommended for higher currents.
2. Connect the mini-USB cable from a PC to the KL25Z USB port on the FRDM-KL25Z
board.
3. Windows automatically installs the necessary drivers. Wait for this operation to
complete.
4. Launch the PF1510 GUI.
5. In the PF1510 GUI window, click the Scan For Devices button in the top-left corner.
A confirmation message that a valid device is available is logged.

7.3 Understanding and using the GUI
7.3.1 GUI structure for PF1510
Figure 7 shows the different components of the GUI.
Figure 7. GUI components
7.3.2 GUI panels
When the GUI is launched, it looks for a PF1510 target board connected via the USB
cable. If connected, the USB connection panel displays the vendor ID: 0x15A2, and part
ID: 0x00D0.
The main log window displays messages, example, when the board is connected
(PF1510 attached) and when the board was removed (PF1510 removed).

Figure 8. GUI startup
Pressing the Scan For Devices button attempts to read from each of the eight
2
permissible I C-bus device addresses. The results are displayed in the main log window.
If multiple PMIC devices are detected, the GUI can be configured to communicate with a
particular device by selecting the corresponding device address.
Note: The GUI can communicate with only one PMIC device at a time.

The switching supplies panel allows users to adjust the functional parameters of each
supply.
Figure 10. Switching supplies panel
To change supply parameters, click and adjust the desired control. An Update button
appears whenever a change is made, and pressing the Update button writes the change
to the PMIC.
Note: Multiple changes can be made at a time, and all changes are written when the
Update button is pressed.

The OTP configuration panel allows access and editing of the PF1510 startup
parameters.
Figure 12. OTP configuration panel
Initially, the panel display is the OTP configuration read from PMIC PF1510.
The Load CFG File button opens the configuration file open dialog, and populates the
panel with the parameters contained in this file.
The Load From PMIC button loads the OTP configuration data from the PMIC PF1510 of
the evaluation board.

7.3.7 Interrupts panel
The interrupts panel displays the state of all PF1510 interrupts.
Figure 14. Interrupts panel
The Interrupts tab displays status, mask, and sense registers for INT0, INT1, INT3, and
INT4. Selecting the Poll Interrupts checkbox enables update of this information with
period of 500 ms. To activate interrupt, the appropriate mask has to be set. When an
interrupt occurs, the appropriate checkbox is selected. Interrupt can be then cleared by
unchecking this checkbox.
The state of the PF1510 INTB pin is displayed, and updated asynchronously. Interrupts
that are unmasked, cause the INTB pin to go LOW while the interrupt condition exists.
The PF1510 target hardware detects when the INTB pin goes LOW, and sends a
message to the GUI to indicate that an interrupt has occurred. The INTB label on the
panel is LOW until the interrupt condition is cleared.

7.3.8 Script editor panel
The script editor panel allows the user to write and execute scripts that exercise
various functions on the PF1510 PMIC. These functions include setting voltages on
2
the regulators, reading and writing I C-bus addresses, and clearing interrupts. Script
commands can be written directly in an editor window. Alternatively, the user can build
the scripts by selecting commands from drop-down menus and entering the appropriate
values.
The scripts are executed within the Files: section of the panel, and the results are
displayed in the Script Log section.
Completed scripts can be saved as text files for later use. Commands can be generated
easily.
Figure 15 shows the main elements in the Script Editor panel.
