14.1 Power On and Test Procedure

Power stage connection is the same as described earlier. Additionally to that setup, PMBus connection is required through USB-to-GPIO as shown in Figure 14-1.

After all connections are made, apply an AC source voltage with a specified value to the board AC input and refer to the other steps in the UCD3138PFCEVM-026 user’s guide. Open and start the “Fusion Digital Power Designer” GUI following the steps described in Section 13.2 and Section 13.3. Once PFC pre-regulator is up and running and the GUI is opened, then it is ready to use the Designer GUI to make evaluation.
