11.1.1.1 Fusion Digital Power™ Designer Tool

Click here to download the Graphical User Interface (GUI) used to configure and monitor the TPS542A50 with the Fusion Digital Power™ designer.

The Fusion Digital Power™ designer uses the PMBus protocol to communicate with the device over serial bus by way of a TI USB adapter.

Some of the tasks you can perfrom with the GUI include:

  • Turn on or off the power supply output, either through hardware control line or the PMBus OPERATION command.
  • Monitor real-time data. Items such as input voltage, output voltage, output current, temperature, and warnings/faults are continuously monitored and displayed by the GUI.
