8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

Fusion GUI can be used to design the device configuration online or offline (with or without a UCD9090A device connected to the computer). In offline mode, Fusion GUI will prompt user to create or open a project file (.xml) at launch. In online mode, Fusion GUI will automatically detect the device on PMBus and read the configuration data from the device. An USB-to-GPIO Adapter EVM (HPA172) from Texas Instruments is required to connect Fusion GUI to PMBus.

The general design steps include the following:

  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

The details of the steps are self-explanatory in the Fusion GUI.

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