I can not really comment on that. The procedure is different for each chip, 
not always easy to understand, and it often takes quite some time to find
a working configuration. Best is really to use the tools provided by TI
(the Fusion GUI is quite good), since there tend to be other parameters
which need to be configured as well. I use the TI tools even for the test
boards I built myself. The TPS40xxx series is not as difficult as the
UCD92xx series when it comes to configuration complexity, but I would
still suggest to use the tools. If you misconfigure the chip, you might
burn it, so it pays to be careful.

Did you have a look into http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slvu638/slvu638.pdf ?

Thanks,
Guenter
