ACT2861EVK1-201 Rev B User’s Guide
Description
This document describes the characteristic and operation of the Active Semi ACT2861EVK1-201 evaluation kit
(EVK). It provides setup and operation instructions, schematic, layout, BOM, and test data. This EVK
demonstrates the ACT2861QI201 CMI version of the IC. Other ACT2861QIxxx options can be evaluated on this
EVK by replacing the IC and any other necessary components.
Features
The EVK can be used as a standalone board if desired. However, to access the internal registers and to take
full advantage of the IC’s capability, the user must connect the EVK kit to a PC with Active Semi’s USB-TO-I

interface dongle and use the GUI software. The EVK provides full access to each converter’s input and output
voltage, as well as all the digital control signals. This gives the user the flexibility to configure the EVK to match
their real world system.
