4.4 Evaluating Split Rail Input
The default configuration of the EVM is for single rail input. Split rail input enables operation with 3.3-V PVIN. For
split rail operation, configure the jumpers on the EVM as follows:
1. Move the jumper JP1 and JP2 to AVIN position to disconnect the AVIN pin from the PVIN pins.
2. Apply the AVIN input to T4. 4-V or greater AVIN is required to bring the VDD5 voltage high enough to enable
conversion.
3. If operation with 3.3-V PVIN is needed and the CNTL jumpers (JP3 and JP4) are in UVLO position,
the resistor divider at the EN/UVLO will need to be changed. Alternately, move the CNTL jumpers to
CNTL_INPUT position and use the control signal to enable conversion or use the ON_OFF_CONFIG and
OPERATION commands to enable conversion.
