13 Evaluating the Single-Phase PFC with GUI
Further evaluation of UCD3138PFCEVM-026 can be made with the designer GUI while no need to directly
access the firmware codes. The designer GUI, called Fusion Digital Power Designer is described in
Section 13.1. The description is given on how to use the GUI to make further evaluation of
UCD3138PFCEVM-026.
13.1 Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Collectively, the GUI is called Texas Instruments Fusion Digital Power Designer. The GUI serves the
interface for several families of TI digital control devices including the family of UCD31xx, that is the
UCD3138 as its one member. The GUI can be divided into two main categories, Designer GUI and Device
GUI. In the family of UCD31xx, each EVM is related to a particular Designer GUI to allow users to re-
tune/re-configure a particular EVM in that regarding with existing hardware and firmware. Device GUI is
related to a particular device to access its internal registers and memories.
UCD3138PFCEVM-026 is used with its control card UCD3138CC64EVM-030 where UCD3138 device is
placed. The firmware for single-phase PFC control is loaded into UCD3138CC64EVM-030 board through
device GUI. How to install the GUI is described in the user’s guide Using the UCD3138CC64EVM-030 (TI
Liturature Number, SLUU886). The designer GUI is installed at the same time when installing the device
GUI.
