The pull-down menu for
PWM Div (Hz)
selects the PWM frequency that is to be used by both channels if the
PWM Source Internal
box is selected for that channel. The
SLEEP
button sets the SLEEP bits such that it goes
into a low-power mode yet still keeps all the register information. The
Limp Home
button opens up a window
with the limp home settings, see the
section. The
Update
button initiates the polling
of all the registers and continually refreshes the GUI with the information from the EVM. It is important to note
that when using the
Update
mode, that faults can occur and be visually missed because the register reads clear
the faults in the polling cycle. The
Read All
button performs a single read of all the registers and updates the
GUI. The
Reg Dump
button does a read of all the registers and creates a .txt file with all the register information
in the local drive at C:\Texas Instruments\TPS92518, 520, 682 LaunchPad Evaluation Software location. The
Reset All
button put the TPS92520-Q1 to its factory default settings.

The
Faults
window, see
, allow for the selection of the Fault Timer duration in ms, which is set by the
IFT bits. The
Reset Flt Pin
button clears the FPINRST bit and release the nFLT pin. The
Stdalone
box indicates
that the STANDALONE bit is set and is in stand alone mode. The
V5AUV
box indicates that an under voltage
fault has occurs at the V5A pin. The
TW
box indicates an overtemperature thermal warning fault has occurred.
The
PC
box indicates that the PC (power cycle) bit is set, which happens at power up and is considered a fault.
The PC bit must be cleared by reading the STATUS3 register and must be cleared before the channels can be
enabled. There are several faults that if triggered must be read before operation can continue and they are
covered in the
Faults
window.
