The LM5064EVK evaluation module provides the power design engineer with a fully functional intelligent monitoring and protection controller board designed for negative voltage systems. This application note describes the various functions of the board, how to test and evaluate it, and how to use the GUI design tool to change the components for a specific application. Use of the advanced telemetry and monitoring capabilities of this device requires the installation of the Intelligent Power Manager GUI; however, the LM5064 is capable of acting as a hot-swap and protection circuit without any software installation.
