6 TMUX9616QFPEVM Setup Procedure

To properly operate the TMUX9616QFPEVM, complete the steps that follow:

  1. Download and install the GUI software as described in the previous section.
  2. Connect the following jumpers for the desired operation of the TMUX9616(N):
    1. Install the VSS SHUNT jumper on J10.
    2. Do not install (float) SET SHUNT jumper on J9.
    3. If using the on-board SPI, then install jumpers on J12-J18 to enable this functionality. Otherwise, leave the jumpers uninstalled if providing communications externally.
    4. Connect all necessary power supplies to the designated power terminal block (J11) inputs and power up the supplies according to the order in the table that follows:
      Table 6-1 Power Supplies and Designated Power Terminal Block
      TerminalRailVoltageCurrent Limit
      J11-1VSS−10 V to −110 V10 mA
      J11-2GND0 V—
      J11-3VDD10 V to 110 V10 mA
      J11-4VLL5 V50 mA
      Note:
      1. VLL has a higher current limit because it is used to power several other components on the EVM. Not indicative of typical VLL quiescent current for TMUX9616.
      2. Powering the TMUX9616QFPEVM up or down in an arbitrary sequence can cause damage to the device.
  3. Connect the mini-USB between the PC and TMUX9616QFPEVM connector J20 to power up SPI communication block. Green LED (D1) next to J20 should illuminate indicating power is good.
  4. Open up the GUI weblink, select the proper device from the drop-down menu, press connect, and make sure there is a Hardware Connected prompt at the lower left side of the GUI to initialize the TMUXHV-EVM GUI. Then click the Quick Start icon to navigate into the GUI itself.
  5. Connect the desired inputs to the source and drain pins, and solder on the necessary resistors and capacitors for test loading (R/C footprints located on backside of the board for each I/O).
  6. Use the TMUXHV-EVM GUI to select and turn on or off the required channels and proceed with evaluating the TMUX9616PT and TMUX9616NPT.
