Please follow the steps below precisely to quickly
evaluate the TPS389C03-Q1. In this quick start, the TPS389C0XEVM is set up to monitor
several power supply rails.
- Make the hardware connections and software
installation described in Section 3.1 have been completed. Feel free to skip the GUI installation if the Fusion Digital
Power Designer for TPS389C0XEVM GUI has been installed already.
- Power the EVM by turning on the power
supply. Note that the voltage and current limits at the power supply is set at 3.3 V and
10 mA.
- Once the TI's USB2GPIO USB Interface Adapter is connected to EVM and the laptop, launch the
evaluation software Fusion Digital Power Designer.
- Click on I2C GUI on the bottom
right of GUI.
- Click on
Change Scan Mode to select TPS389xxx and then click OK.
- Scan for the
TPS389C0XEVM by clicking on Scan for TPS389xxx on top left of the window.
- Once the EVM is discovered, select
Click to Configure.
- Once the Click to
Configure box has been selected, the Fusion Digital Power Device GUI for the
TPS389C03-Q1 appears as shown below. The GUI image shows the General Config,
Sequencing, Clear/Reset, Telmetry, and Polling (Plotting the
monitored voltage rails) sub-windows.
- The GUI image below continues to show the
additional sub-windows that are in the GUI for the TPS389C03-Q1. The GUI image includes
the Interrupt Enable, Voltage Range and Threshold, Status Registers,
and Polling (plotting the monitored voltage rails) sub-windows.
- The last GUI
image below shows the last five registers in the Status Registers sub-window.
