This user’s guide describes the evaluation module (EVM) for the Texas instruments TPS25940X devices.
TPS25940X devices are eFuse with true reverse blocking for power mux that operates from 2.7 V to 18 V,
the device has integrated back-to-back FETs with programmable undervoltage, overvoltage, reversevoltage, overcurrent and in-rush current protection features.
The TPS25940XEVM allows reference circuit evaluation of TI's TPS25940X devices. The TPS25940X
devices are available with both latched and auto-retry operation.

2Description
The TPS25940XEVM-635 enables full evaluation of the TPS25940X devices. The EVM supports two
versions (Auto-retry and Latched) of the devices on two Channels (CH1 and CH2, respectively). Input
power is applied at J3 (CH1) and J8 (CH2), while J2 (CH1)/J7 (CH2) provide the output connection to the
load, refer to the schematic in Figure 1, and test setup in Figure 2.
D5/C1 (CH1), D9/C7 (CH2) provides input protection for TPS25940X (U1 and U2, respectively) while
D4/C2/C3/C4 (CH1), D8/C8/C9/C10 (CH2) provides output protection.

D6 for CH1 and CH2, respectively, and circuit faults can be observed with D2 and D6. Scaled channel
current can be monitored at TP11 and TP22 with a scale factor of 0.842 V/A.
