From the files menu, load the configuration file:
TAS5162DDV6EVM Configuration (3.00).cfg
The file is located on the PurePath™ CD-ROM. This file contains all settings for a default setup of the
EVM.
For easy access of the file, it is recommended to copy the files into a directory where the GUI is installed.
Default is C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments Inc\TAS5086\.
For more advanced use of the GUI, see the GUI user’s guide and data sheet for the TAS5086.
This section describes the short-circuit protection and fault-reporting circuitry of the TAS5162 device.
The TAS5162 is a self-protecting device that provides fault reporting (including high-temperature
protection and short-circuit protection). TAS5162 is configured in back-end auto-recovery mode and
therefore resets automatically after all errors (M1, M2, and M3 is set low); see the data sheet for further
explanation. This means that the device restarts itself after an error occasion and reports shortly thereafter
through the SD error signal.
