Description
The TPS259230-41EVM enables full evaluation of the TPS259230/41 devices. The EVM supports two
versions (Latched and Auto- Retry) of the devices on two Channels (CH1 and CH2 respectively). Input
power is applied at T1 (CH1) and, T3 (CH2) while T2 (CH1) and T4 (CH2) provide the output connection
to the load, Refer to the schematic in figure1, and EVM test setup in figure 2.
D3/C3 (CH1), D7/C9 (CH2) provide input protection for TPS259230/41 (U1 and U2 respectively) while
D4/C2 (CH1), D8/C7 (CH2) provide output protection and inrush current demand from the load. S1 and S2
allow U1 and U2 respectively to be RESET or disabled. A fault indicator is provided by D1 and D5 LEDs
for CH1 and CH2, respectively.
