Notice List

The Notice List pane combines notices (errors, warnings, tasks, and infos) from many places in the configuration into a centralized list. You can double-click a notice location to show the parameter causing the error or warning. For more information about the Notice List, refer to Device Configurator user guide.

Status barThe status bar displays various information, including a file operation status, hints, input field ranges, etc. On the right side, it displays the selected device.

Toolbar

The toolbar contains common commands from the File and Edit menus, such as New, Open, and Save. Use the check box under the View menu to show or hide the toolbar.

Port tabs

This area contains one or two tabs to configure various parameters. Each tab includes a toolbar with the following commands:

Add/Remove PDO - Adds or removes a PDO from the selected list.
Sort PDOs - Toggles Sort on and off. When enabled, this reorders the PDOs by type and voltage.
Move Up/Down - When Sort is disabled, these move the selected PDO up or down in the list.
Expand/Collapse All - Expands or collapses the entire tree of items in the Port tab.

Parameter categories

The left pane of the EZ-PD™ Configurator shows the following parameter categories:

Port Information
Source PDOs
Sink PDOs
EPR Configuration
SCEDB Configuration
SKEDB Configuration

Parameters and values

The following sections describe the parameters available for each category. Select a parameter category to see that category individual parameters and values as appropriate on the right pane of the EZ-PD™ Configurator.

PDO

This node represents the set of Power Data Objects (PDOs) for the selected device. The PDOs supported by the device are arranged hierarchically. PDOs can be Source PDOs or Sink PDOs, depending on whether they describe the power sourcing or sinking capabilities of the USB-PD device. All fields listed under the Source PDOs and Sink PDOs nodes are defined in the USB-PD specification, revision 3 classified as follows:

Fixed Supply
Battery
Variable Supply
Programmable Power Supply
Adjustable Voltage Supply

You can add or remove PDOs using Add/Remove PDO buttons available in Port tabs. Each PDO contains an Enable check box, which specifies whether the PDO is enabled at system start-up.

Source PDOs

The Source PDOs node displays only when the value of Port Role parameter is set to Source or Dual Role in Port Informationnode.

The parent Source PDOs node contains the following parameters from 5V Fixed Supply Source PDO:

Fixed Supply Source PDO configuration parameters

Battery Source PDO configuration parameters

Variable Supply Source PDO configuration parameters

Programmable Power Supply Source PDO configuration parameters

Adjustable Voltage Supply Source PDO configuration parameters

Sink PDOs

The Sink PDOs node displays only when the value of the Port Role parameter is set to Sink or Dual Role in the Port Information node. Sink PDO configuration includes two additional parameters:

The Sink Give Back parameter specifies whether the feature is enabled for this PDO.
The Min/Max Operating Current parameter specifies the minimum current required for device operation if give back is enabled. If give back is disabled, this field specifies the maximum operating current that may be required.

The parent Sink PDOs node contains the following parameters from 5V Fixed Supply Sink PDO:
