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.
