3 EVM Connectors
This section describes the connectors, jumpers, and test points on the EVM as well as how to connect, set up,
and properly use the EVM. Each device has an independent supply connection, but all grounds are connected
on the board.
3.1 EVM Test Points
lists the test points and functional descriptions. All TLV841 pins have a corresponding test point to the
EVM. These test points are located close to the pins for more accurate measurements.

TP1
VDD
Connection to VDD pin
Allows the user to monitor the VDD pin. The VDD pin
connects to the input power supply.
TP2
RESET
Connection to RESET pin
Allows the user to monitor the RESET output pin.
TP3
MR, SENSE, CT
Connect to SENSE pin (variant option #1)
Connect to MR pin (variant option #2)
Connect to CT pin (variant option #3)
Depending on which variant option is on the EVM board,
the EVM allows the user to connect to:
•
SENSE pin. The SENSE pin is the voltage that will be
monitored by TLV841S
•
MR pin. The MR (Manual Reset) pin, when pulled to a
logic low allows the user to assert a reset signal on the
RESET output pin.
•
CT pin. Allows the user to monitor the CT pin. The CT
capacitor sets the time delay of the RESET output.
TP4
GND
Connection to GND pin.
Allows the user to connect to the ground plane.
