Introduction
The TPS2378EVM allows reference circuit evaluation of the TI TPS2378 PD controller. The TPS2378
features an auxiliary power detect (APD) input, providing priority for an external power adapter. It also
features a 100 V pass transistor, 140 mA inrush current limiting, type-2 indication, auto-retry fault
protection, and an open-drain power-good output.
