5 Test Setup
5.1 Test and Configuration Software
In order to change any of the default configuration parameters on the EVM, it is necessary to obtain the TI
Fusion Digital Power Designer software.
5.1.1 Description
Fusion Digital Power Designer is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) used to configure and monitor the Texas
Instrument's TPS40400 power controller on this Evaluation Module (EVM). The application uses the PMBus
protocol to communicate with the controller over serial bus by way of a TI USB adapter (see Figure 5-3).
5.1.2 Features
Some of the tasks you can perform with the GUI include:
•
•
•
Turn on or off the power supply output, either through the hardware control line or the PMBus operation
command.
Monitor real-time data. Items such as input voltage, output voltage, output current, and warnings/faults are
continuously monitored and displayed by the GUI.
Configure common operating characteristics such as VOUT, warning and fault thresholds, and switching
frequency.
This software is available for download at this location: http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/

5.2 Test Equipment
5.2.1 Voltage Source
The input voltage source VIN should be a 0-V to 14-V variable DC source capable of supplying 10 ADC. Connect
VIN to J1 as shown in Figure 5-2.
5.2.2 Multimeters
•
•
•
•
DMM 1: VIN at TP1 (VIN) and TP3 (GND).
DMM 2: Input current measured across Shunt 1.
DMM 3: VOUT at TP5 (VOUT) and TP17 (GND).
DMM 4: Output current measured across Shunt 2.
5.2.3 Output Load
The output load should be an electronic constant-resistance mode load capable of 0 ADC to 25 ADC at 1.2 V. An
electronic constant-current load is also acceptable.
5.2.4 Oscilloscope
A digital or analog oscilloscope can be used to measure the output ripple. To measure output ripple, the
oscilloscope should be set for 1-MΩ impedance, 20-MHz bandwidth, AC coupling, 2-µs/division horizontal
resolution, 50-mV/division vertical resolution. As shown below in Figure 5-1, test points TP5 and TP17 can be
used to measure the output ripple voltage by placing the oscilloscope probe tip through TP5 and holding the
ground barrel to TP17. It is not recommended to use a leaded ground connection because this may induce
additional noise due to the large ground loop.
To measure other waveforms, adjust the oscilloscope as needed.

5.2.5 Fan
Some of the components in this EVM may exceed temperatures of 60°C during operation. A small fan capable of
200 LFM to 400 LFM is recommended to reduce component temperatures while the EVM is operating at heavy
loads. Exercise caution when touching the EVM while the fan is not running, and always exercise caution when
touching any circuits that may be live or energized.
5.2.6 Recommended Wire Gauge
Input Wires, VIN to J1 (12-V input): The minimum recommended wire size is 1x AWG #14 per input
connection, with the total length of wire less than 4 feet (2 feet input, 2 feet return). Maximum input current
should be in the order of 3.5 A.
Output Wires, J3 and J4 to Load: The minimum recommended wire size is 2x AWG #14, with the total length
of wire less than 4 feet (2 feet output, 2 feet return). Maximum output current should be in the order of 20 A.
5.3 Recommended Test Setup

maximum. Make sure VIN is initially set to 0 V and connected as shown in Figure 5-2.
2. Connect a voltmeter DMM 1 at TP1 (VIN) and TP3 (GND) to measure the input voltage.
3. Connect a voltmeter DMM 2 across shunt to measure the input current.
5.4.2 Output Connections
1. Connect Load between J3 and J4; and set Load to constant-resistance mode to sink 0 ADC before VIN is
applied.
2. Connect a voltmeter DMM 3 at TP5 (VOUT) and TP17 (GND) to measure the output voltage.
3. Connect a voltmeter DMM 4 across shunt to measure the output current.

Test Setup

5.4.3 Jumper Connections, JP1 and JP2
For most tests it is recommended to install both jumpers, JP1 and JP2 on their respective headers. This will
result in the remote sense points (the nodes at which the converter will regulate the output voltage) be located
near the output connectors J3 and J4. This configuration is best for most functional testing.
These jumpers can be arranged differently depending on the desired location of remote sense.
Note
The amount of voltage drop between the output connectors J3 and J4 and the remote sense points
is limited by the power dissipation in the internal remote sense resistors R7 and R18 (see schematic,
Figure 4-1).
These resistors are rated for 0.0625 W and are 49.9 Ω. This implies a remote sense voltage drop of no more
than 1.7 V in each of the +VE and –VE sense lines. Since this EVM is configured as a 1.2-V output, this will
likely not be the limiting factor, but caution is still advised because when remote sense is being utilized, the EVM
will attempt to regulate out a lossy load wire installation.
Note
The EVM may detect an Over-Voltage (OV) condition when remote sensing is being used, depending
on the configurable OV setting. Refer to Section 5.2.6 for wire gauge recommendations.
When remote sense is not being utilized and the sense points are defaulted to the output connector of the EVM,
the voltage drop in the load wires and the resulting reduced voltage applied to the electronic load may cause
erratic behavior with the electronic load. This is because many loads will not function properly at input voltages
lower than 1 V, which implies no more than 0.2-V drop combined in the load wires (+ and – load wires). Consult
the documentation of the electronic load being used.
5.4.4 Jumper Configurations
All Jumper selections should be made prior to applying power to the EVM. User can configure this EVM as per
following configurations.

EVM Configuration Using the Fusion GUI
6 EVM Configuration Using the Fusion GUI
In order to configure the TPS40400 controller on the EVM, 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
that the TPS40400 may respond to the GUI and the GUI can recognize the TPS40400. The default configuration
for the EVM is to start converting at an input voltage of 7 V, so in order to avoid any converter activity during
initial configuration, an input voltage less than 7 V should be applied.
6.1 Configuration Procedure
1.
2.
3.
4.
Adjust the input supply to provide 5 VDC, current limited to 1 A.
Apply the input voltage to the EVM. Refer to Figure 3: and Figure 4: for connections and test setup.
Launch the Fusion GUI software. Refer to the following screenshots in section 6.2 for more information.
Configure the EVM operating parameters as needed.
CAUTION
Some parameters can be configured to values that can result in erratic or unexpected behavior on
this EVM. Consult the TPS40400 datasheet for guidance in configuration of parameters.
