System Overview

Block Diagram
Figure 1. TIDA-050026-23881 Block Diagram
A
The 54-V to 3.3-V isolated DC/DC is for demonstration purposes only. It is not needed in a real system.
B
Only connect a USB2ANY connector or JTAG to avoid GND loops.

Input Power
2.2.1.1
Vpwr
DC input voltage is provided through J1 and J3. This board supports a dual power source in sharing mode
and redundant mode. If the power supplies are in redundant mode, make sure the main power supply is
connected to J1 and a backup power supply is connected to the J3 connector.
The minimum PSE port voltage is 44 VDC for Type 1, 50 V for Type 2 and Type 3, and 52 V for Type 4.
The maximum DC voltage at VPWR is 57 V for all types. During evaluation, choose the appropriate DC
power supply for the different type environment.
2.2.1.2
3.3 V
A local 3.3 V for local devices (labeled as 3.3 V) is provided by the onboard LM5017 buck converter. The
LM5017 device provides a basic power-on sequence and provides a well-controlled and consistent startup
to prevent erratic operation. In addition to 44 V to 57 V, the TPS238x requires 3.3 V for the digital circuitry
and each TPS2388x device consumes 6-mA typical and 12-mA maximum.
