2Description
TPS25200EVM-618 enables full evaluation of the TPS25200 power distribution switch with adjustable
current limit, input overvoltage protection, and an output overvoltage clamp.
Referring to the schematic shown in Figure 1, primary input power is applied at J5/J7 while J6/J7 provides
the output connection to the load. C4/C5 provides input protection for the TPS25200 (U1) while C1 and
the J4 selectable output capacitance provide output protection. J3 allows three levels of current limit to be
selected. J2 allows selection of the EN/FAULTx pullup voltage source to come from either the IN or an
external source (VCC_IO source from TP11).
The overvoltage protection feature of the TPS25200 device can be evaluated through the use of a
secondary (higher voltage) source connected to TP10. The effects of this overvoltage pulse can be
evaluated by using the S1 pushbutton.

Install between pins 1 and 2 to short out D1 (for normal operation). Remove when testing the
OVP feature using S1.
Select the desired EN and FLT pullup resistor supply source using a shunt on J2 per the
schematic diagram. When the shunt is in the IN position, then the pullup source is connected
connected between TP11 and J7 (or another GND test point). For extended high voltage
pulse testing, use the IO position with a supply voltage below 7 V.
Select the desired current limit using a shunt on J3 per the schematic diagram. When the
shunt is removed, the current limit is approximately 850 mA.
