Figure 5-3 shows the GUI control interface. There are five 8-bit registers embedded in TPS65279V, two to select
the output voltage, two to configure the buck converter’s operation, and one for status feedback. Changes are
made by selecting and checking the components in the GUI on the left hand side and can also be made by
directly clicking the bits of each register. I

C address is set to default 0x60H, this address is corresponding
to the EVM jumper JP7 to connect to GND. Changing the I

C address requires that the EVM be configured
accordingly.
An option is to “write on change”, if this option is set to ON, any change is sent to the EVM immediately; if this
option is set to OFF, “Write” button or “W” button for each register must be clicked to send the control signal.
Register values can be read back from the EVM by clicking “Read” or “R” for each register.
