EVAL-CN0190-EB1Z Overview
CN0190 is a reference solution for multivoltage power systems. The design can easily be adapted to customer requirements and provides the most popular system voltages. The circuit uses an optimum combination of switching and linear regulators to provide an overall efficiency of approximately 78% when the outputs are fully loaded. Output power delivered under full load is approximately 25 W.
The circuit supplies most of the typical power rails required for digital and analog circuits and also demonstrates an easy way to realize overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent detection and protection. In addition, this module shows how to implement sequencing and power margining control.
The circuit is flexible and can accept a wide input voltage range from 6 V to 14 V. This is possible because the highly efficient switching controllers and regulators used in the first stage of each power rail have correspondingly wide input ranges. The ADM1178 block provides overvoltage and overcurrent detection and protection for the input supply, as well as hotswap control for the whole system. The ADM1066 offers a single-chip solution for power supply monitoring and sequencing control for all of the 12 power rails and also margining control for the 3.3V(2A) rail.

Power Rails Efficiency Measurements
Efficiency = POUT/PIN = (VOUT × IOUT) ÷ (VIN × IIN)
- POUT can be calculated by multiplying VOUT by IOUT
- VIN and IIN can be read directly from the display window of the Agilent E3631A dc power supply
- Electronic load should be set to constant current mode
- POUT can be calculated by multiplying VOUT by IOUT
- VIN and IIN can be read directly from the display window of the Agilent E3631A dc power supply
- Electronic load should be set to constant current mode
Ripple and Transient Response Measurements
- Channel A of the oscilloscope monitors the
output voltage of the module
- Channel B monitors the voltage across the 0.1 Ω current sense resistor, which is proportional to the load current
- Electronic load should be set to “switch” mode with preset amplitude and frequency
- Channel B monitors the voltage across the 0.1 Ω current sense resistor, which is proportional to the load current
- Electronic load should be set to “switch” mode with preset amplitude and frequency

You can design your own control strategy and download it into the
ADM1066 through this I2C bus connector JP1 to make the power
monitoring and sequencing control for your own application
using the ADM106x Super Sequencer Evaluation Board Software and follow instructions below
Software and Driver Installation
1. Install USB-SDP-CABLEZ driver
1.1 Open the file setup.exe located at the path \ADMxxxx Run-Time Installer\Installer\Volume\setup.exe
It is recommended that you install the software to the default directory.
1.2 Follow the on-screen prompts to install the software
1.3 After installing the driver, Windows can automatically find new hardware when you plug the USB- SDP-CABLEZ into the PC.
2. Install the SuperSequencer Application Software
2.1 Open the file setup.exe located at the path \SuperSequencer Apps SW Installer\Volume\setup.exe
It is recommended that you install the SuperSequencer Evaluation Software to the default directory path C:\Program Files\
2.2 Follow the on-screen prompts to install the software
2.3 Install Graphviz
2.4 Upon completion, follow the on-screen promps to install the prog106x Setup Application Software
Downloading Firmware for ADM1066
1. Copy the eeprom file i.e. ADM1066_SuperSequencing_REVB.hex in the root directory on Disk C:
i.e. (C:\ADM1066_SuperSequencing_REVB.hex)
2. Plug USB to I2C converter dongle into the USB port on your PC. Plug the other side of the cable into the JP1 on the right side of the EVAL-CN0190-EB1Z.
Make sure the marks for the signals of JP1 on the PCB match the marks on the USB-SDP-CABLEZ.
Signal Connection:
SCL↔SCL
SDA↔SDA
GND↔GND
