4.1.2 Features

Some of the tasks the user 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 the following:
    • VOUT trim and margin
    • UVLO
    • Soft-start time
    • Warning and fault thresholds
    • Fault response
    • On/Off modes
