In its default configuration, conn12 V and GND to the VBAT terminal block (J33) will power up the EVM.
While loading the regulators, ensure that input power supply has sufficient current source capabilities to avoid
supply voltage collapse due to current limiting.
EVM can also be powered through external 3.3 V input supply or through USB power by modifying jumper
settings on the EVM.

The LP877451Q1EVM does not require any specific power-down sequence. The EVM can be powered down
by turning off the power supply or by toggling the EN Pin off in the GUI, if the GUI control signal is used to
enable/disable the device. Refer to
for more information about configuring jumpers
and using GUI.
4.1 GUI
Texas Instruments provides a simple to use LP87745-Q1 GUI tool to enable, configure, and evaluate the various
features of the LP87745-Q1 device on the EVM. Please refer to the GUI
README.md
file in the GUI tool's
Help->View README.md
tab for a more detailed description of this tool.
The GUI will run on most PC platforms and requires a USB port for connecting the EVM to the host computer.
The EVM USB connector is type-C and a type-A to type-C cable is provided along with the EVM to connect
to the host computer. EVM will get automatically connected to the GUI after the USB cable is connected and
manual assignment of COM port is not necessary. If

icon next to it will re-establish the connection. The GUI uses the
ACCtrl COM port which can be found from the device manager of the operating system.
