4.1.2 Features

Some of the tasks you can perform 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. Items such as input voltage, output voltage, output current, die temperature, and warnings and faults that 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.
