Connector and Test Point
Description
J1 to J4
BOOST-XL headers to connect to Texas Instruments LaunchPad Ecosystem
J5, TP1
Supply voltage
J6
Supply rail for Vdd (A, C, D version of the TPS272C45 only)
J7, J22, TP4, TP5, TP6
Ground connections
TP7
Current sense output (SNS)
J20, TP3
Output voltage 2 (VOUT2)
J21, TP2
Output voltage 1 (VOUT1)
TP8
Enable for VOUT1 (EN1)
TP9
Enable for VOUT2 (EN2)
TP10

TP11
IC Ground (IC_GND)
shows the relevant configuration jumpers of the TPS272C45EVM as well as the associated values.
Please refer to the TPS272C45 data sheet for detailed information on each pin's functionality.
Table 5-2. Jumper Configurations
Jumper
Function/Settings
J8
Controls EN1 and enables, disables VOUT1
J9
Controls EN1 and enables, disables VOUT2
J10
Sets DIA_EN and enables, disables diagnostics
J11
Controls the SEL pin to set which diagnostics are reported by the SNS pin
J12
Sets the functionality of the device during fault conditions via the LATCH pin
J13
Enables, disables the on-board 3.3-V LDO. Must be set to top position (marked on silk screen as 3.3-V
LDO) to allow
J8
to
J12
to be high.
J14, J15
Controls which resistance value that is going into ILIM1. Only populate either
J14
or
J15
(not both) at a
time. If
J14
is populated a 10-kΩ value is used and if
J15
is used a 4.99-kΩ value is used for ILIM1. If
controlling from a from a microcontroller do not populate
J14
or
J15
.
J16
Controls whether or not to use the diode/resistor ground network for reverse current blocking. Populate
jumper to bypass ground network.
J17
Selects if Vdd is being supplied by the BoosterPack or the on-board LDO. Do no populate if being supplied
externally through
J6
.
J18
Controls if the FAULT line is being pulled up by the BoosterPack or the on-board LDO
J19
Connects the BoosterPack 3.3-V rail to the on-board LDO's 3.3-V output giving the ability to power the
connected LaunchPad from the LDO.
J23
Configures pin 18 to be connected to ILIMD in A, B, C version or FLT1 in D version
