Product details
Overview
DA9217-EVAL1 from Renesas Electronics is an evaluation board designed specifically for the DA9217 single-channel dual-phase buck converter PMIC. It supports input voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers configurable output from 0.3 V to 1.57 V, and enables full register-level configuration and real-time monitoring via I²C using the SmartCanvas GUI software. The board is used to validate power sequencing, efficiency, transient response, and GPIO-controlled power-up/down behavior in Li-ion battery-powered embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the DA9217-EVAL1 datasheet, DA9217-EVAL1 pinout, DA9217-EVAL1 application, or DA9217-EVAL1 equivalent, this page provides verified hardware interface details, GUI software integration guidance, I²C address configuration (default 0xD0), link jumper settings for GPIO/EN/SDA/SCL biasing, and evaluation workflow support for DA9217-based power designs.
Technical Context
The DA9217-EVAL1 implements a fixed-layout PCB with on-board decoupling, current-sense resistors, and test points aligned to the DA9217's 40-pin QFN package. It integrates jumpers (J7, J10–J16) to configure AVDD, VDDIO, GPIO0–GPIO2, IC_EN, SDA/SCL pull-up/down, and USB-I2C module VDDIO sourcing - enabling flexible validation of bootstrapping, enable sequencing, and I²C communication under varied supply conditions.
Hardware interaction occurs exclusively through the USB-I2C interface module (162-09), which bridges PC-hosted SmartCanvas GUI to the DA9217 device. Communication uses standard 8-bit I²C addressing (default 0xD0), with register access spanning buck control (0x20–0x2F), system status/event (0x01–0x15), OTP identification (0x48–0x4B), and full register table view.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DA9217-EVAL1 evaluation board?
The DA9217-EVAL1 evaluation board is a hardware platform designed to evaluate the DA9217 single-channel dual-phase buck converter PMIC. It allows engineers to configure, monitor, and validate the device's power delivery performance-including output voltage setting, soft-start timing, power-up/down sequencing, and fault reporting-using the SmartCanvas GUI over I²C. DA9217-EVAL1 does not operate as a standalone power supply but serves strictly as a characterization and development tool for the DA9217 IC.
Which PMIC does the DA9217-EVAL1 support, and what are its key electrical capabilities?
The DA9217-EVAL1 supports only the DA9217 PMIC, a single-channel dual-phase synchronous buck converter with integrated power FETs. Its key electrical capabilities include an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, output voltage programmability from 0.3 V to 1.57 V, and support for flexible power sequencing via I²C-configurable registers. DA9217-EVAL1 provides physical access to all critical signals and jumpers needed to replicate these capabilities in lab testing.
How is communication established between the PC and the DA9217-EVAL1 board?
Communication between the PC and the DA9217-EVAL1 board is established using the included USB-I2C interface module (162-09) and the SmartCanvas GUI software. The module connects via USB to the host PC and electrically interfaces with the DA9217-EVAL1 through a dedicated header. DA9217-EVAL1 uses standard I²C protocol with a default 8-bit address of 0xD0, and the GUI supports register read/write, polling, and register dump import/export.
What jumper settings are required to enable basic operation of the DA9217-EVAL1 with the DA9217 IC?
For basic operation, DA9217-EVAL1 requires J7 closed (AVDD to VSYS), J14 set to pull up IC_EN to VDDIO (pins 1–2), and J13 configured to pull up SDA/SCL to VDDIO (pins 1–3). J10 and J11 may be left unconfigured unless GPIO0/GPIO1 control is needed. These settings ensure proper power routing, IC enable assertion, and I²C bus termination - allowing immediate GUI connection and register access without modification. DA9217-EVAL1 documentation confirms these as default functional positions.
Is the SmartCanvas GUI software compatible with modern Windows operating systems?
The SmartCanvas GUI software shipped with DA9217-EVAL1 was validated for Windows 7, but it operates successfully on Windows 10 and Windows 11 when installed with administrator privileges and using the legacy USB-I2C driver. The installer (setup_DA9217_DA9220_DA9121_DA9122_GUI.exe) places files under C:\Dialog Semiconductor\Power Management\, and the GUI maintains full functionality-including buck/sys/otp tabs, Raw I/O, and register dump-on supported 64-bit Windows versions. DA9217-EVAL1 users should verify driver signing compatibility if using Secure Boot.
