I received the EV6631H-L-00A board and purchased the EVKT-USBI2C-02 (which I believed to be a universal tool). However, I cannot establish I2C communication.
Background:
- I previously used the MP6631H chip alone but was told it cannot communicate via I2C without additional hardware.
- The EV6631H-L-00A board has SCL/SDA pins, so I assumed it included a dedicated I2C interface chip. Was this a misunderstanding?
Key Questions:
- EVKT-USBI2C-02 Compatibility
- The MP6631H datasheet mentions using a “communication kit” to connect to a PC. Is the EVKT-USBI2C-02 the correct kit?
- I connected the SCL/SDA pins directly but observed no monitoring. Are there specific wiring requirements or limitations?
- Test Mode and Register Configuration
- The datasheet references a “test mode” for register adjustments. How do I enter this mode?
- If I accidentally press “programming” in test mode, could this permanently disable the chip?
- 3-Hall Sensor Configuration
- For 3-Hall sensor operation, must registers be modified in test mode? If so, can these changes be reversed?
Details:
- The SCL/SDA pins on the EV6631H-L-00A are labeled but do not behave like standard I2C pins.
- The MP6631H bench software (GUI) does not detect the board via EVKT-USBI2C-02.
Request:
- Clarify whether the EVKT-USBI2C-02 is compatible with the EV6631H-L-00A/MP6631H.
- Provide guidance on test mode activation and risks of accidental programming.
