3.2 Power Supply Setup
To power up the EVM, one power supply is needed. For full-load testing of the LP875761Q1EVM, a DC-power
supply capable of at least 10 A and 5 V is required. 5 A is suggested as a practical minimum for partial load. The
power supply is connected to the EVM using connector J4. The power supply and cabling must present low
impedance to the UUT; the length of power supply cables must be minimized. Remote sense, using connector
J8, can be used to compensate for voltage drop in the cabling.
With the power supply disconnected from the UUT, set the supply to 3.3 V or 5.0 V DC and the current limit to 5
A minimum. Set the power supply output OFF. Connect the power supply's positive terminal (+) to VIN and
negative terminal (–) to GND on UUT (J4 power-in terminal block). Check that jumpers on the boards are set as
shown in
(factory default jumper configuration).
Set power supply output ON, and then continue with the following steps. Note that following steps are only an
example. Register values, enable control, mode and multiphase status may differ depending on the
LP875761Q1EVM configuration.
1. On Evaluation software GUI, click on Assert NRST (see
).
2. Click on either of the two Read Registers buttons. You should see ready message on green background next
to the Read Registers button (see
).
3. Check that Buck0 is enabled, checkbox is ticked (see
).
5. Click on either of the two Read Registers buttons.
6. In this example case the GUI indicates
Disabled
under
Mode
until EN1 is asserted. After EN1 is asserted
Mode
is changed to
Enabled
. In case BUCKx is enabled or disabled with bit instead of ENx pin, the
Mode
can
be checked by reading registers. GUI indicates also
Master
under
Multiphase status
of Buck 0. Mode of other
bucks are
Disabled
and Multiphase status is
Slave to Buck0
. The EVM is now ready for testing with default
register settings loaded.
