EVM Connectors
This section describes the connectors, jumpers, and test points on the EVM as well as how to connect, set
up, and properly use the EVM. Each device has an independent supply connection, but all grounds are
connected on the board.
3.1
EVM Test Points
lists the test points and functional descriptions. All pins of the device are broken out to test points
on the EVM.

J2
Open
Connect SENSE to VDD through a resistor divider that sets V

to 1.8V and monitors
VDD to this threshold, or leave open and connect external voltage to be monitored.
J3
Open
Connect C

EVM Setup and Operation
This section describes the functionality and operation of the TPS3808G01-Q1EVM. The user should read
the
datasheet for electrical characteristics of the device.
4.1
Input Power (VDD)
The VDD supply is connected through the J1 header on board. Pin 1 of this jumper is connected to the
VDD pin of the TPS3808G01-Q1 device and pin 2 is connected to the board common GND. Supply
voltage is dependent on what the user wants to monitor, but the range is 1.8 V to 6.5 V.
