The BOOSTXL-TPS652170 is a BoosterPack evaluation module (EVM) for programming samples of the
TPS652170 power management IC (PMIC) with user-defined values for output voltage, sequence timing,
and other critical parameters. Modifying these parameters using the BOOSTXL-TPS652170 allows for
rapid prototyping and quick time to market when using the TPS652170 PMIC to provide power to a variety
of processors and FPGAs.
This document provides a description of how to setup the EVM and re-program the EEPROM memory of
the TPS652170 devices using the BOOSTXL-TPS652170 BoosterPack, an MSP430F5529 LaunchPad,
and the IPG-UI software. The steps in this document describe the procedure for programming samples of
the TPS652170 installed in the socket of the BOOSTXL-TPS652170 printed circuit board (PCB).

1Introduction
The BOOSTXL-TPS652170 allows designers to program samples of the TPS652170 and verify the values
in the EEPROM match the power-up and power-down sequence requirements of the targeted processor
that will be powered by the PMIC in the final application. The BOOSTXL-TPS652170 BoosterPack EVM is
simple to test, requiring only an MSP430F5529 LaunchPad and USB A-to-micro B cable. With no load or a
light load on the BoosterPack EVM, the power provided by the LaunchPad is sufficient to power the
TPS652170 device, re-program the EEPROM, and perform all of the measurements described in this
document. The 5 V provided by the VBUS wire of the USB cable is the only power input to the
LaunchPad.
The TPS652170 device consists of three step-down converters (DCDC1, DCDC2, DCDC3), one WLED
boost converter (DCDC4), two general-purpose LDO regulators (LDO1, LDO2), and two load switches that
can be purposed as LDO regulators (LS1/LDO3, LS2/LDO4). The output voltage of all the DC/DC
converters and the LDO regulators is programmable. Configuring the load switches as additional LDO
regulators is programmable. The sequence order of all DC/DC converters, the LDOs, and the load
switches can also be programmed and assigned to integer values relative to each other. The sequence
timing and supervisor thresholds are global parameters that can be programmed. The integrated battery
charger of the TPS652170 can also be programmed but the BAT, BAT_SENSE, and TS pins are not
routed out to test points on the BOOSTXL-TPS65218.
Modifying some or all of these register map values and re-programming the EEPROM of the TPS652170
device with the IPG-UI software creates new reset values for the PMIC, which allows the PMIC to poweron and power-off with the required timing for a variety of processors or FPGAs.
Figure 1 shows the top-side of the BOOSTXL-TPS652170 PCB, on which a socket is placed to install
TPS652170 samples and re-program the samples. The samples can then be removed from the socket
and soldered down on a TPS65217xEVM or prototype PCB to evaluate the power delivery capabilities of
the TPS652170 newly programmed for a specific processor or FPGA. If the output voltages or sequencing
are not ideal for the processor or FPGA on the first attempt, the process can be repeated until the ideal
programming of the TPS652170 device is determined.

1.2Required Hardware
1.2.1MSP430F5529 LaunchPad
The MSP430F5529 LaunchPad will serve as a communication interface between the IPG-UI software and
the TPS652170 device. The firmware on the MSP430F5529 needs to be updated before it can
communicate with the TPS652170. Figure 2 shows the BOOSTXL-TP652170 connected on top of the
MSP430F5529 LaunchPad with a micro-USB cable inserted in the LaunchPad.

NOTE: Do not plug the BOOSTXL-TPS652170 BoosterPack into the MSP430F5529 LaunchPad
before the firmware is updated, as described in Section 2.5.
2Getting Started
Figure 3 shows the high-level block diagram of the BOOSTXL-TPS652170 as it is wired to the
MSP430F5529 LaunchPad through the two 20-pin headers connecting the two PCBs. It also shows the
LaunchPad connected to a computer through a USB cable, which is required for programming the
TPS652170 device.
Figure 3. BOOSTXL-TPS652170 BoosterPack and MSP430F5529 LaunchPad Block Diagram
2.1Connecting Headers
This section describes the headers on the BOOSTXL-TPS652170 used to connect the BoosterPack EVM
to the MSP430F5529 LaunchPad. There are two sets of headers numbered J1-J4, each set having two
rows of 10 pins, for a total of 40 pins. The outside headers, closest to the board edge, are J1 (left) and J2
(right). The inside headers, closest to the socket on BOOSTXL-TPS652170 and closest to the
MSP430F5529 device on the LaunchPad, are J3 (left) and J4 (right). When connected correctly, all 40
pins of the headers make a physical connection from board to board and the headers numbers line up (in
other words, J1 connects to J1, J2 connects to J2, and so forth.). However, all 40 pins do not make an
electrical connection from the LaunchPad to the BOOSTXL-TPS652170 design.
The net named 3V3LP is re-named 3V3SW after the current-limiting switch controlled by S1 and provides a pull-up reference
voltage for SCL, SDA, INT, nWAKEUP, and LED D7 driven by the PGOOD pin of the TPS652170 device.
(2)
The BOOST_EN signal is for the TPS61093 and does not connect to the TPS652170. Enabling the boost provides 8 V to the
PWR_EN pin, which is sufficiently high to allow re-programming of the EEPROM.
(3)
The net named USBLP is re-named USBSW after the current-limiting switch controlled by S1 and provides power (5 V) to the
USB pin of the TPS652170 device directly from VBUS of the USB cable. USBSW is the only supply available and generates
SYS, which provides power to all VIN_DCDCx pins, VINLDO, and LSx_IN.

Figure 4 shows the BOOSTXL-TPS652170 board with socket XU1 open and a TPS652170 samples
installed correctly. After the socket is closed, the SW1 PWR switch can be moved from the OFF position
to the ON position.
In order for the configurable load switches/LDO regulators (LS1/LDO3, LS2/LDO4) to receive power from
the correct source, shunts must be installed in the correct position on both 3-pin headers (J5 and J6) as
described in Table 3.
The following instructions explain how to install the IPG-UI software on a computer. If this software is
already installed, this section may be skipped.
To install the IPG-UI software, first download the IPG-UI software installation package from www.ti.com.
Then unzip and install the IPG-UI software tool onto the computer.
A.2IPG-UI Setup for BOOSTXL-TPS652170

Software Instructions
Figure 5. Run the IPG-UI Software
•Wait for the program to load.
•Plug in the micro-USB cable to the USB port of the MSP430F5529 LaunchPad and connect the other
end of the USB cable to an open USB2/3 port on the computer.
•Verify that the software is connected to the USB2ANY (MSP430F5529 LaunchPad) as shown in
Figure 6.
Figure 6. Successful Connection Between Computer and USB2ANY (MSP430F5529 LaunchPad)
•Click the drop-down menu in the Create New Project section and select TPS652170-1.x as shown in
Figure 7. Creating New IPG-UI Project for the TPS652170
www.ti.com
•Click the Create Project button.
NOTE: After a project is initially created, it is available in the Create Projects from Recent Devices
menu. When a project is saved, it is available in the Open Recent Projects menu.
•The TPS652170 Introduction tab is now displayed, as shown in Figure 8. Click the Get Started button
or the Register Map tab to begin communicating with TPS652170 device.
Figure 8. TPS652170 Project Introduction Tab in IPG-UI
•Click the Read All button and verify that data has changed in the CHIPID register from 0x00 to 0x02.
Verify that no red notifications appear in the upper left corner of the IPG-UI window. Blue notifications
are informational only and do not indicate an error has occurred. Figure 9.
Figure 9. Successful Write Access to TPS652170 Notification
•If all register data remains 0x00 and a red notification appears (as in Figure 10), it indicates the
computer can talk to the USB2ANY (MSP430F5529 LaunchPad) but cannot communicate with the
TPS652170 device. The primary cause of this issue may be that the power switch for the BOOSTXLTPS652170 is in the OFF position, the socket does not have a sample installed, or the USB cable is
not plugged into the MSP430F5529 LaunchPad or the computer. In case of either issue, the test setup
of the EVM must be debugged before continuing.
Testing TPS652170 DCDC1 Voltage Change with IPG-UI
Figure 10. Failed GUI Communication to TPS652170 Notification
NOTE: At the time of writing this document, the IPG-UI software version is 2.5.0.5 and the
TPS652170 file version is 1.0.
A.3Testing TPS652170 DCDC1 Voltage Change with IPG-UI
This section provides an example of how to use the IPG-UI software to read registers and modify the
voltage of a single DC/DC converter of the TPS652170 device.
•Start by navigating to the Device Controls tab of the IPG-UI and verify that the Auto Password feature
is Enabled, as shown in Figure 11.
•Navigate back to the Register Map tab, click on the row for the DEFDCDC1 register (0x0E), and read
the value of this register by clicking the button labeled R in this row of the register map table, as shown
in Figure 12.
•Click on the row for the DEFSLEW register (0x11) and change the value of bit 6 in the from 0b to 1b
by clicking the bit's cell in the table or clicking the radio button labeled Disabled on the right-hand side
of the window. Write the new value of this register by clicking the button labeled W in this row of the
register map table, as shown in Figure 13.

Figure 13. Disable GO Bit in SLEW Register
•Click on the row for the DEFDCDC1 register (0x0E) again, and this time move the slider on the righthand side of the window to change the output voltage of DCDC1 to a new value. Write the new value
of this register by clicking the button labeled W in this row of the register map table, as shown in
Figure 14. The value in the PASSWORD register (0x10) will also change because the IPG-UI is
automatically writing the correct password to this register in advance so that the DCDC1 register will
accept the new data.

•Verify the new voltage setting by measuring the DCDC1 test point (TP14) on the BOOSTXL-
A.4Re-Programming the EEPROM of the TPS652170 Device
This section provides an example of how to re-write the EEPROM of the TPS652170 device using the
IPG-UI and visually verify that the new values have been correctly programmed into the non-volatile
EEPROM memory of the device. The most commonly programmed values, DC/DC converter output
voltage and sequencing order, will be modified in this example.
NOTE: All of the bits that are backed by EEPROM and are programmable are highlighted in red in
the Register Map section of the IPG-UI software for the TPS652170 device. Bits that are
grayed out are Reserved and are Read-Only. The bits with no color-coding are Read-Write
capable and can be edited in real-time, but this memory is volatile and the values will not be
stored when the TPS652170 device is power-cycled.
•Figure 15 and Figure 16 show all of the available EEPROM-backed registers of the TPS652170 that
may be programmed.
(1) The power-on sequence order is listed for each rail, numbered 1-4.
Figure 17. TPS652170 Re-Programming Example Block Diagram
•The voltage setpoint of DCDC1 has already been modified, so only the remaining DC/DC converters
and LDO1 regulator voltages need to be modified at this time. Figure 18 shows the new output voltage
setpoint configured in the DEFDCDC2, DEFDCDC3, DEFLDO1, DEFLDO1, DEFLS1, and DEFLS2
registers (0x0F, 0x10, 0x12, 0x13, 0x14, and 0x15) as well as the correct PASSWORD register (0x10)
value written automatically by the IPG-UI.
Figure 18. Modifying DCDC2-3, LDOx, and LSx Register Values
NOTE: Extreme changes in output voltage settings for DCDC1-3 and LDO1-4 may not settle to the
desired voltage before the TPS652170 supervisor circuitry recognizes the voltage as an
undervoltage fault condition and performs a system reset. This will reset the DCDC1-3 and
LDO1-4 registers to the value currently stored in EEPROM and is desirable in the end
application, but it will prevent successful re-programming with new output voltage settings. If
this issue is observed while modifying registers prior to re-programming the EEPROM, then a
value of 0x00 must be written to the ENABLE register (0x16) before re-starting this
procedure.
•To match the example, the order in which the DC/DC converters and LDO turn on and turn off is must
be changed. This order, or sequencing, is changed by modifying the SEQ1, SEQ2, and SEQ3 registers
(0x19, 0x1A, and 0x1B), as shown in Figure 19. The SEQ4 register (0x1C) controls the sequence
order of LS2/LDO4 but this register does not need to be changed for this example.
•To re-program the EEPROM of the TPS652170 device and make these changes permanent, a special
bit named EE_PROG_BIT must be set to 1b in the TEST_EEP_ADDR register (0x2C). This register
and other special registers can be found in the Test Registers tab of the GUI. Figure 20 shows how to
enter programming mode manually and Figure 21 shows how to use the IPG-UI to automatically reprogram the EEPROM memory of the TPS652170 device. When the programming mode is entered
manually, the EE_PROG_BIT must be reset to 0b to exit programming mode.
Figure 20. Manually Writing EE_PROG_BIT to Re-Program EEPROM
Figure 21. Automatically Writing EE_PROG_BIT to Re-Program EEPROM
•Now the BOOSTXL-TPS652170 board can be reset by moving SW1 (labeled PWR) to the OFF
position and then moving it back to the ON position. Click Read All on the IPG-UI to verify that all of
the registers programmed into the EEPROM has been re-programmed correctly. Figure 22 and
Figure 23 show all of the registers that have been re-programmed in this example, as well as the
volatile bits that have changed after power cycling the TPS652170 device.
The EEPROM re-programming was successful because the IPG-UI remembers the previous value of bits
before the Read All button is pressed and highlights changes in blue. There are some bits highlighted in
blue in Figure 22 and Figure 23, but these differences do not indicate a failed EEPROM re-programming.
The PGOOD and ENABLE registers (0x0C and 0x16) are both 0x3E now because LDO2 and LDO3 have
been disabled from the sequencer. The least significant bit (LSB), bit 0, of the DEFDCDC1 and
DEFDCDC2 registers (0x0E and 0x0F) is set to 0b now and the output of these DC/DC converters will be
25 mV lower than expected, but this volatile bit can be set to 1b again in real-time by I2C. and LDO1 have
been enabled. Bit 6 of the DEFSLEW register (0x11) has reset to 0b because the GODSBL bit is not
backed by EEPROM. None of the EEPROM-backed bits (highlighted in red) that were changed in the
example re-programming have been highlighted in blue.
The successful re-programming of the EEPROM can also be verified on the BOOSTXL-TPS652170
hardware by measuring the output voltages of DCDC1, DCDC2, DCDC3, LDO1, LDO2, LS1 (LDO3) and
LS2 with a multi-meter and by measuring the power-on sequence timing with an oscilloscope.
The BOOSTXL-TPS652170 board is intended for re-programming the
EEPROM of the TPS652170 only. Significant loads should not be applied to the
DC/DC converters, LDOs regulator, or load switches using the BOOSTXLTPS652170 test points. The newly re-programmed TPS652170 device must be
removed from the socket and soldered down onto a TPS65217xEVM board or
another board designed to carry the current for maximum loads to evaluate the
full performance of the TPS652170 device.

or using the EVM, including without limitation any warning or restriction notices. The notices contain important safety information
related to, for example, temperatures and voltages.
4.3 Safety-Related Warnings and Restrictions:
4.3.1 User shall operate the EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and environmental considerations stated in the user
guide, other available documentation provided by TI, and any other applicable requirements and employ reasonable and
customary safeguards. Exceeding the specified performance ratings and specifications (including but not limited to input
and output voltage, current, power, and environmental ranges) for the EVM may cause personal injury or death, or
property damage. If there are questions concerning performance ratings and specifications, User should contact a TI
field representative prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied
outside of the specified output range may also result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible
permanent damage to the EVM and/or interface electronics. Please consult the EVM user guide prior to connecting any
load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification, please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, even with the inputs and outputs kept within the specified allowable ranges, some circuit
components may have elevated case temperatures. These components include but are not limited to linear regulators,
switching transistors, pass transistors, current sense resistors, and heat sinks, which can be identified using the
information in the associated documentation. When working with the EVM, please be aware that the EVM may become
very warm.
4.3.2 EVMs are intended solely for use by technically qualified, professional electronics experts who are familiar with the
dangers and application risks associated with handling electrical mechanical components, systems, and subsystems.
User assumes all responsibility and liability for proper and safe handling and use of the EVM by User or its employees,
affiliates, contractors or designees. User assumes all responsibility and liability to ensure that any interfaces (electronic
and/or mechanical) between the EVM and any human body are designed with suitable isolation and means to safely
limit accessible leakage currents to minimize the risk of electrical shock hazard. User assumes all responsibility and
liability for any improper or unsafe handling or use of the EVM by User or its employees, affiliates, contractors or
designees.
4.4 User assumes all responsibility and liability to determine whether the EVM is subject to any applicable international, federal,
state, or local laws and regulations related to User’s handling and use of the EVM and, if applicable, User assumes all
responsibility and liability for compliance in all respects with such laws and regulations. User assumes all responsibility and
liability for proper disposal and recycling of the EVM consistent with all applicable international, federal, state, and local
requirements.
