Powering Up the EVM - GPIO Control
To power up the EVM follow the steps outlined below:
•
Install WAKEUP jumper in the GND position.
•
Install VCOM_CTRL jumper in the GND position.
•
Install PWRUP jumper in the VIO position.
•
Connect the EVM to the USB interface adapter using the 10-lead ribbon cable.
•
Connect the USB interface connector to the computer USB port using a standard USB cable.
•
Connect a 3-V - 6-V supply from the VIN terminal to GND.
•
Move the WAKEUP jumper from the GND position to VIO position.
The TPS65185 should start immediately with the predefined power-up sequence and voltage settings.
NOTE:
Please note that although in this example no software control and therefore no I

communication is required, the USB interface still needs to be connected. This is because
the interface board also provides the 3.3-V VIO rail. To operate the EVM without the
interface, connect a 3.3-V supply from VIO to GND.
