1.1.1 Fusion Digital Power Designer

Fusion Digital Power Designer is a graphical user interface (GUI) that configures and monitors Texas Instruments digital power controllers, sequencer monitors, and health monitors. The GUI uses the PMBus protocol to communicate with the device over a serial bus using a proprietary USB adapter.

Use the Fusion Digital Power Designer GUI for engineering development. The GUI gives access to all available user-configurable settings, fault information, and telemetry readings. After you configure the device, you can export the settings to a configuration file. The export options are:

  • System file (.tifsp) contains configuration data for all of the devices in a system
  • Project file (.xml) contains configuration data for a single device
  • PMBus programmer script (.csv) is a text file containing step-by-step programming instructions for non-TI software tools
