5 EVM Configuration Using the Fusion GUI
The TPS544B20 or TPS544C20 installed on this EVM leave the factory pre-configured. See
list of key factory configuration parameters as obtained from the configuration file.

If it is desired to configure the EVM to settings other than the factory settings shown in
, the TI Fusion
Digital Power Designer software can be used for reconfiguration. It is necessary to have input voltage applied
to the EVM prior to launching the software so that the TPS544B20 or TPS544C20 installed is active and able
to respond to the GUI and the GUI can recognize the device. The default configuration for the EVM is to start
converting at an input voltage of 4.5 V; therefore, to avoid any converter activity during configuration, an input
voltage less than 4.5 V must be applied. An input voltage of 4 V is recommended.
5.1 Configuration Procedure
1. Adjust the input supply to provide 4 V
DC
, current limited to 1 A.
2. Apply the input voltage to the EVM. See
and
for connections and test setup.
3. Launch the Fusion GUI software. See the screen shots in
4. Configure the EVM operating parameters as desired.
