Features

Some of the tasks that can be performed with the GUI include:

  • Turn on or off the power supply output, either through the hardware control line or the PMBus operation command.
  • Monitor real-time data, such as output voltage, output current, die temperature, warnings, and faults, which are continuously monitored and displayed by the GUI.
  • Configure common operating characteristics such as VOUT trim and margin, UVLO, soft-start time, warning and fault thresholds, fault response, and ON/OFF modes.
