Si8250/1/2
4. Design Tools
The Si8250DK development kit (Figure 3) contains
everything required to develop applications with the
Si825x family of digital power controllers. This kit
supports all phases of power supply development from
controller design through real-time system debugging. It
also includes a turnkey, 35 W isolated DC/DC target
board for evaluation and experimentation.

Regulator Compensation Tool (Bottom)
The tool set enables the user to configure pre-written
application software included in the kit to his application
using a set of PC-based graphical user interface (GUIs).
These GUIs (Figure 5) allow the user to quickly and
easily specify and verify system timing, loop
compensation and protection settings, and compile and
download the resulting code into the Si8250/1/2
(Figure 4).
