Connector
Label
Description
J1
VIN
Power bus input. Apply bus input voltage between J1 and J3.
J2
VBUS
Output voltage that is applied to the VBUS of the USB type C cable. J2 along with J5 can be
used to apply an external load.
J3
GND
Power bus input return connector. Apply bus input voltage between J1 and J3.
J4
J4
Barrel jack input from an AC to DC power supply. The center tip is positive.
J5
GND
Switch bus output return connector. Apply the load between J2 and J5
J9
J9
Type C receptacle.
D6
DCDC_OUT
This Green LED indicates when the output of the DC/DC converter is above approximately 3 V.
D7
D7
This Green LED indicates when an input voltage is present at J1/J3 or J4.
D8
D8
This Green LED indicates when VBUS is above approximately 3 V.

J7
PSEL/PCTRL
Used to program the PSEL and PCTRL pins of the TPS25740 and
TPS25740A. This advertises the power level to the UFP. Install a single
shunt in the P1, P2, P3, or P4 position. Optionally, a second shunt can be
installed in the PCTRL position. The position locations are shown in
and also on the PCB silkscreen near J7.
spac
P1 position: PSEL = 93 W
spac
P2 position (default): PSEL = 65 W
spac
P3 position: PSEL = 45 W
spac
P4 position: PSEL = 36 W
spac
PCTRL position (shunt installed): PMAX = PSEL/2
spac
PCTRL position (no shunt installed-default): PMAX = PSEL
J8
HIPWR/ENMVb Used to program the HIPWR and EN12Vb/EN9Vb pins of the TPS25740 and
TPS25740A. This advertises maximum voltage and maximum current to the
UFP. Install a single shunt in the H1, H2, H3, or H4 position. Optionally, a
second shunt can be installed in the ENMVb position. The position locations
are shown in
and also on the PCB silkscreen near J8. V1 = 5 V, V2
= 9 V or 12 V, V3 = 15 V or 20 V
spac
ENMVb position (shunt installed-default): V1 and V2
spac
ENMVb position (no shunt installed): No V2
spac
H1 position: V3 and IMAX = 5A (OCP = 6.3 A)
spac
H2 position (default): V3 and IMAX = 3A (OCP = 4.2A)
spac
H3 position: No V3 and IMAX = 5A (OCP = 6.3A)
spac
H4 position: No V3 and IMAX = 3A (OCP = 4.2A)
Advertised current at Vx: Ix = min (PMAX/Vx, IMAX)
J6
LED Power
Used to disconnect the LED power. This allows for more accurate
measurement of the board’s efficiency especially at light loads or when UFP
is disconnected.
