TPS6594EVM: Is GUI NVM code template the same as device NVM code?

Part Number: TPS6594EVM

Hi TI Engineer,

I have some questions regarding the GUI NVM code and device NVM as below.

1. Is the TPS65941111 NVM code template in GUI the same as NVM code in TPS65941111 device?

2. Is the TPS65941212 NVM code template in GUI the same as NVM code in TPS65941212 device?

3. Is the TPS65941213 NVM code template in GUI the same as NVM code in TPS65941213 device?

I'm trying to repogram the device I have TPS65941111  + TPS65941212 to TPS65941111  + TPS65941213, but I notice that TPS65941111 configuration in GUI template is different from TPS65941111 code I read from device. Why is that? Should I use the GUI template of TPS65941111  + TPS65941213 to reprogram TPS65941111  + TPS65941212 devices?

Thank you,

Charlotte

  • Hi Charlotte,

    The templates in the GUI are references to make adjustments to the overall configuration to fit the specifics of the power distribution network. The NVM code on the factory-programmed devices may be updated before the templates are changed to match. For this reason, the templates may generate a slightly different output than what would be found on the devices, but has the same general configuration. The configuration described in the corresponding user guides is the device NVM and can be used to modify the template.

    The TPS65941111 should be the same in both configurations. You can use the GUI template and check in the User Guide for any discrepancies. For convenience, I have included the binary files that will be used on new devices. It is possible these files differ from both the template file and the files on the devices.
