This device supports I2C standard mode, fast mode, and fast+ mode. The TPL1401 provides the FB pin to configure the output as a programmable current sink using an external MOSFET. The TPL1401 is simple to program using an I2C interface at factory or in real-time. An integrated nonvolatile memory (NVM) enables factory programming for trimming and calibration applications.
Figure 2-1. When the TPL1401EVM software is launched, an installation dialog window opens and prompts the user to select an installation directory. If left unchanged, the software location defaults to C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\TPL1401 EVM as shown in Figure 2-2.
The software provides basic control of all the registers and functions to the TPL1401 device. 3.2.1 Starting the Software To launch the software, locate the Texas Instruments folder in the All Programs menu, and select the TPL1401 EVM icon.
