4.1.1 Description

The TI Fusion Digital Power Designer is the graphical user interface (GUI) used to configure and monitor the Texas Instruments TPSM8D6B24 power converter installed on this evaluation module. The application uses the PMBus protocol to communicate with the controller over serial bus by way of a TI USB adapter described in Section 4.2.6.
