8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

Fusion GUI can be used to design the device configuration online or offline (with or without a UCD90120A device connected to the computer). In offline mode, Fusion GUI prompts the user to create or open a project file (.xml) at launch. In online mode, Fusion GUI automatically detects the device on the PMBus and reads the configuration data from the device. A USB-to-GPIO Adapter EVM (HPA172) from Texas Instruments is required to connect Fusion GUI to the PMBus.

The general design steps include

  1. Rail setup
  2. Rail monitoring configuration
  3. GPI configuration
  4. Rail sequence configuration
  5. Fault response configuration
  6. GPO configuration
  7. Margining configuration
  8. Other configurations such as Pin Selected Rail States, Watchdog Timer, System Reset, and so on.

Details of the steps are self-explanatory in Fusion GUI

After configuration changes, the user must click the Write to Hardware button to apply the changes. In online mode, the user can then click the Store RAM to Flash button to permanently store the new configuration into the data flash of the device.
