5 EVM Configuration Using the Fusion GUI
In order to configure the TPS53819A controller on the EVM from its default values, it is required to use the
TI Fusion Digital Power Designer software. It is necessary to have input voltage applied to the EVM prior to
launching the software so the TPS53819A can respond to the GUI and the GUI can recognize the TPS53819A.
At least 4.25 V must be applied to the V
DD
pin to overcome the default UVLO setting.
5.1 Configuration Procedure
1. Adjust the input supply to provide at least 4.25 V.
2. Apply the input voltage to the EVM. Refer to
for connections and test setup.
3. Launch the Fusion GUI software. If prompted, select GUI scan mode to
DEVICE_CODE
only. Refer to
for changing device scanning options. The software will recognize the TPS53819A device on the
EVM and load the GUI.
4. Configure the EVM operating parameters as needed.
CAUTION
Some parameters can be configured, such as switching frequency, to values that can result in erratic
or unexpected behavior on this EVM. Consult the
TPS53819A 3-V to 28-V Input, 40-A, Eco-Mode™,
D-CAP2™ Synchrons Buck Controller Data Sheet
for guidance in configuration of parameters and
impact on component selection.
