BOOSTXL-TPS65218 EVM User's Guide
lists all of the electrical connections made when the headers of the BOOSTXL-TPS65218 and
MSP430F5529 LaunchPad are connected correctly.
(1)
The net named 3V3LP is re-named 3V3 after the current-limiting switch controlled by S1 and provides a pull-up reference
voltage for SCL, SDA, PGOOD, nPFO, nINT, nWAKEUP, GPIO1, GPO2, and GPIO3 pins of the TPS65218D0 device. It is also
an optional power supply for the CC (coin cell) pin.
(2)
Resistors R19-R26 on the BOOSTXL-TPS65218 board are not installed. As a result, this pin will not be electrically connected to
the MSP430F5529 unless a 0-
Ω
resistor is added manually.
(3)
The net named 5VLP is re-named 5V after the current-limiting switch controlled by S1 and provides power to IN_BIAS directly.
5V also provides power to all IN_DCDCx pins, IN_LDO1, IN_LS2, IN_LS3, and IN_BU when shunts are installed on headers J5
and J6. It is also the voltage compared at PFI and the pull-up reference voltage for PWR_EN and AC_DET.

Test Points
lists the test points located on the BOOSTXL-TPS65218. The test points are required to measure
the output voltage and sequence timing of the power rails generated by the TPS65218D0 device.
