1 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of an Elevate Semiconductor Vesuvius evaluation system. You will find

that it serves as an invaluable development platform to help get your product to market in the shortest

possible time. The Vesuvius and Graphical User Interface (GUI) allow the customer to demonstrate and

evaluate the Vesuvius performance and functionality.

This document provides the instructions to install, setup, and operate the Vesuvius EVM. Refer to the

Elevate Semiconductor EVM User’s Guide for a detailed description of the EVM system.

1.1 Unpacking - Vesuvius EVM Contents

Please check the contents of the Vesuvius EVM shipping carton to make sure you have received all of

the items listed in Table 1. The system is already configured for the best setup, except for connections to

the power supply, PC controller, and test equipment.

1.2 Recommended Test and Measurement Setup

1.2.1 Power Supply

Table 2 provides the required power supplies and current rating. The power supplies are connected

using standard banana plugs. The customer needs to provide the power supply cables and supplies.

It is recommended to use a triple supply to control the EVM supplies. This allows the 3 EVM supplies to

be turned on at the same time. However, if this is not feasible, then the supplies should be enabled in the

following sequence. Power down should be performed in the reverse order.

1. +20V

2. -15V

3. +5V

The Vesuvius VCCO and VEE are gated using an Opto-FET switch on the loadboard so it is safe to set

and enable the Vesuvius supplies before powering up the EVM and running the software.

Table 2: Power Supply Requirements

Module Suppl

Current Ratin

Motherboard +20V 0.5

Motherboard +5V (1) 0.5

Motherboard -15V 0.5

Vesuvius VCCO +5V (2, 3) 5.0

(4)

Vesuvius VEE -3V (2, 3) 5.0

(4)

Notes:

1) The EVM +5V could also be used as the Vesuvius VCCO

2) Once the EVM operation is verified, the customer can adjust the VCCO, VEE supplies

3) Make sure the external supplies do not violate the ABS max section on the datasheet.

4) The VCCO and VEE current 4A requirements are required if all 8 channels are operating at

maximum current load. If using a sub-set of channels then a smaller (i.e. 1 Amp) supply could be

adequate. The program does not have the ability to measure the VCCO and VEE currents

1.2.2 PC Controller

To use the Vesuvius EVM User Interface Program (UIP), a PC with the following configuration is required:

 Windows 2007, Windows 2008, Windows 2010

 USB Port (a USB cable is provided)

1.3 Software Installation

There are 2 steps to install the Vesuvius EVM demonstration program.

1. Install the Vesuvius EVM UIP from the Flash Drive.

2. Install the USB driver.

Figure 1 illustrates the default directory structure. The user may change the <root dir> during the

installation.

<Root Dir>:\ElevATE Semi

1.3.1 Vesuvius EVM UIP Installation

To install the Vesuvius EVM software package, run the SETUP program on the distribution Flash Drive

and follow the prompts. The ElevATE.exe executable will be installed in the EVM GUI sub-directory. In

addition, a short cut will be installed onto the desktop and in the Start->Programs folder. The

Start->Programs folder also contains links to the different EVM User’s Guide, and documentation

folders.

1.3.2 USB Device Driver Installation

Follow section 1.3.2.1 for installation instructions on the Windows 10/8 operating systems, section 1.3.2.2

for instructions for Windows 7, or section 1.3.2.3 for Windows XP

1.3.2.1 Window 10/8

To install the USB driver on Windows 10/8, the Driver Signature Verification needs to be disabled.

This is accomplished using the following method.

1.3.2.1.1 Enter the Troubleshoot menu. Click “Restart” from the power options menu and hold

down the “Shift” key at the same time. Once the computer has rebooted, you will be

able to choose the Troubleshoot option.

Vesuvius EVM Getting Started Rev A2: 06/26/17

1.3.2.1.2 Select “Advanced options” and “Startup Settings”.

1.3.2.1.3 You need to restart your computer one last time to modify boot time configuration

settings.

1.3.2.1.4 You will be given a list of startup settings, including “Disable driver signature

enforcement”. To choose the setting, you need to press the “F7” key. This will disable

the driver signature enforcement until the computer is rebooted.

Vesuvius EVM Getting Started Rev A2: 06/26/17

1.3.2.1.5 Continue with section 1.3.2.2 to finish installation of USB driver except choose the

windows 10 or windows 8 option.

1.3.2.2 Windows 7

To install the USB device driver on a Windows 7 system, connect the USB port using the included

USB A/B cable. The USB port does not need any external power or need to be connected to any

other board for the device driver installation.

1.3.2.2.1 After connecting the USB cable from the PC to the “USB FX2 to Parallel” board,

navigate to the Device Manager screen on your computer and look for the EZ-USB

Icon. Right-Click on the EZ-USB Icon and select “Update Drive Software…”

Vesuvius EVM Getting Started Rev A2: 06/26/17

1.3.2.2.2 Select “Browse my computer for driver software”.

1.3.2.2.3 Install driver from the newly installed folder on your computer:

Windows 7: \ElevATE Semi\EVM GUI\Elevate USB Driver\wlh-win7\(x64 or x86)

Select x64 for a 64-bit system.

Select x86 32-bit system.

Select “Next”. The USB driver will be installed.

Vesuvius EVM Getting Started Rev A2: 06/26/17

1.3.2.3 Windows XP

To install the USB device driver on a Windows XP system, connect the USB port using the

included USB A/B cable. The USB port does not need any external power or need to be

connected to any other board for the device driver installation.

1.3.2.3.1 After connecting the USB cable from the PC to the USB port, the following window

appears. Select “No, not this time” and click Next.
