2.8 Input Voltage Ripple
The TPS54231EVM-372 input voltage ripple is shown in
. The output current is the rated full load of 2
A and V
IN
= 15 V. The ripple voltage is measured directly across the input capacitors.

2.9 Powering Up
The start-up waveforms are shown in
and
IN
, and
the bottom trace shows V
OUT
, the top trace shows EN (enable) whereas the bottom trace shows
V
OUT
. In
, the input voltage is initially applied and the output is inhibited by using a jumper at J2 to tie
EN to GND. When the jumper is removed, EN is released. When the EN voltage reaches the enable-threshold
voltage of 1.25 V, the start-up sequence begins and the internal reference voltage begins to ramp up at the
internally set rate toward 0.8 V and the output voltage ramps up to the externally set value of 3.3 V. The input
voltage for these plots is 15 V and there is no load.
