Getting Started
Figure 10. Initial GUI Screen
If a device is not detected, there is an option to rescan, ignore, or exit the GUI. If the hardware is intended
to be connected, check the USB connection to the PCB, FTDI connection to the evaluation module, and
verify that the power is present on the evaluation PCB by measuring the voltage between the V
IN_S
and
V
IN_GND
test points. Ignoring the detection message allows use of the integrated design tool without the
hardware connected.
Figure 11. LM5066I Block-Level Representation
Click on the detected device ID (TI-LM5066I-AA) to display a block level representation of the device as
shown in
. The block level view of the device provides a display of all the telemetry data as well
as most of the faults and warnings supported by the device. The faults and warnings supported are
generally associated with an invalid input or output condition.
The faults shown on the left side of the block representation are generally associated with the input. These
include input under-voltage (UV), input over-voltage (OV), FET fail (FF), and input over-power (OP). The
SMBus alert status, SMBA, is also shown on the left side and will turn red during any warning or fault
event. To facilitate the evaluation of the device, SMBus alerts are automatically cleared by the GUI.
