2 Requirements
To operate this EVM, the software, power supply, and communication board must be connected and
properly configured. This section provides more information on each component.
2.1 Software
Texas Instruments has provided the necessary software to evaluate this EVM. For the latest software
revision, go to the TLC6C5712-Q1 product folder,
www.ti.com/product/TLC6C5712-Q1 ,.
2.2 Power Supply Requirements
The EVM board can receive supply in one of two ways. The first way is suitable for evaluation in the lab
which uses two DC power supplies. The first DC power supply is for V
CC
and the other is for VSENSE.
The second way is suitable for portable demonstration. In this case, only a 5-V micro-USB supply is
required. The VSENSE pin can be powered through a USB cable directly and the V
CC
pin can be directly
supplied by the USB2ANY.
2.3 Communication Board
The USB2ANY is the interface between the PC and the TLC6C5712-Q1EVM. One end of the USB2ANY
connects to the PC with the USB cable and the other end of the USB2ANY connects to the EVM with the
ribbon cable. After installing the GUI, users can control the TLC6C5712-Q1EVM by sending commands
through the USB2ANY.
