is it possible to use this tool for flyback converters?
Thanks a lot.

Gerhard,
Please take a look at the Fusion Digital Power Designer Documentation: http://downloads.ti.com/analog/analog_public_sw/fusion/doc/?DCMP=hpa_pmp_general&HQS=NotApplicable+OT+fusiondocs
Under the Fusion Digital Power Designer Documenation section of this page, look at the UCD31XX Isolated Power Fusion GUI User Guide. This guide explains how to configure, monitor, and program the device using the Fusion Designer GUI and other important tools like the Memory Debugger.
Please take a look at section 6. It is possible to use the Digital Power Designer to Monitor and Configure the device for flyback converters, but this will need to be implemented by whoever is implementing the topology.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
Regards,

Hi Brandon,
wow, what a document. Take a very quick look. Really clever Thing.
I can't see, how to adapt for a flyback topology, but I take a very quick look, so maybe I will find out later.
First I want to go through all the Lab sessions, and than will check out my power stage open Loop and than will see how I can adapt this tool.
As my instruments working remote, somewhere on top of mountains, it is really a good Thing to have remote control Features. But I dont't want to have a USB_GPIO Adapter there. Do you know a possibillity to use a main processor with GPRS Connection to do this Job?
Thanks a lot.
With best regards

Gerhard, you don’t need a USB to PMBus adapter to control the system.
If you have a main processor with an I2C interface, you can talk directly with the PMBus. The PMBus is very similar to the I2C.
We use the adapter to enable a PC to control a system. PCs generally come with USB, but not with I2C – at least not on the outside.
Happy debugging,
Ian Bower
Hi Ian,
thanks.
So, just thinking, with the help of the .map file and the knowledge about command structure/protocoll of the PM bus (maybe you can send me a link to a nice strating Point) I should be able to read/write Memory/Registers like the Memory Debugger by TI.
So my main processor can do whatever is neccessary to maintain the correct function of my power source or I will be able to reconfiger/fine tune something if neccessary even from remote Position, which is very important for us.
With best regards
Gerhard
(Happy with Debugging for now)
Gerhard, PMBus stands for Power Management Bus. The commands are specifically designed for controlling power supplies, so hopefully you can use them for remote configuration of the power supply. The memory debugger is really designed more for debugging. It's somewhat dangerous to use for a production system.
Here is a link to the older PMBus specifications. http://pmbus.org/Specifications/OlderSpecifications
The newest one is 1.3, which we don't support yet. I think it is still a draft at this point.
Happy Debugging
Ian Bower
