13.1.2 Tools and Documentation

Device programming, real time debug and monitoring/configuration of key device parameters for certain power topologies are all available through Texas Instruments’ Fusion Digital Power Studio Graphical User Interface (https://www.ti.com/tool/FUSION-DIGITAL-POWER-STUDIO).

The Fusion Digital Power Studio software application uses the PMBus protocol to communicate with the device over a serial bus using an interface adaptor known as the USB-TO-GPIO, available as an EVM from Texas Instruments (http://www.ti.com/tool/usb-to-gpio). PMBUS-based real-time debug capability is available through the ‘Memory Debugger’ tool within the Device GUI module of the Fusion Digital Power Studio GUI, which represents a powerful alternative over traditional JTAG-based approaches.

The software application can also be used to program the devices, with a version of the tool known as Fusion Production Tool optimized for manufacturing environments (https://www.ti.com/tool/FUSION-PRODUCTION-GUI). The Fusion Production Tool supports multiple devices on a board, and includes built-in logging and reporting capabilities.
