5.2 Recommended Test Setup
is the recommended test setup to evaluate the TPS53014EVM-126. Working at an ESD workstation,
make sure that any wrist straps, bootstraps, or mats are connected referencing the user to earth ground before
power is applied to the EVM.
Figure 5-2. TPS53014EVM-126 Recommended Test Setup
Input Connections:
• Prior to connecting the DC input source VIN, it is advisable to limit the source current from VIN to 2-A
maximum. Make sure VIN is initially set to 0 V and connected to J2 as shown in
• Connect a current meter A1 between VIN and J1 to measure the input current.
• Connect a voltmeter V1 at TP1 (VIN) and TP2 (GND) to measure the input voltage.
Output Connections:
• Connect Load to J2 and set load to constant resistance mode to sink 0 A
DC
before VIN is applied.
• Connect a voltmeter V2 at TP7 (VOUT) and TP8 (GND) to measure the output voltage.
Other Connections:
Place a fan as shown in
and turn on, making sure air is flowing across the EVM.
6 Configurations
6.1 Enable/Disable Switch S1
The TPS53014EVM-126 is equipped with a switch (S1) to drive the EN pin of the TPS53014. When S1 is
in the Enable position, EN is connected to VIN, and the TPS53014 is enabled and generates a regulated
1.05-V output. When S1 is in the Disable position, EN is connected to GND, and the TPS53014 enters a high
impedance output state.
Default setting:
Set S1 to the Disabled position to disable the controller
