6 Using the TPS65988EVM
This section discusses the pre-loaded or recovery firmware, getting started, and debugging the EVM.
6.1 Powering the TPS65988EVM
The main power supply for the EVM is the barrel jack (J1), which accepts 19 V to 20 V via a barrel jack adapter.
The EVM can also be powered with an external power supply on SYS_PWR (TP5). The input voltage can range
from 5 V to 20 V, but the appropriate power profile for PP_HV should be configured in the firmware using the
configuration tool.
The EVM can also be bus-powered from the USB Type-C connector and accepts 5 V to 20 V on VBUS,
depending on the sink configuration.
6.2 Firmware Configurations
Out of the box, the TPS65988EVM is configured to emulate a dual-port laptop computer. Both ports are used to
source or sink power, and both ports are data DFP. If different configurations are required to test your system,
use the
TPS65988 Application Configuration GUI
tool to create a configuration or load a different configuration
template.
