3.1 Sequencing Jump (JP3)
The TPS54383EVM provides a 3-pin, 100-mil header and shunt for programming the TPS54383’s sequencing
function. Placing the JP3 shunt in the left position connects the sequence pin to BP and sets the TPS54383
controller to sequence Channel 2 prior to Channel 1 when Enable 2 is activated. Placing the JP3 shunt in the
right position connects the sequence pin to GND and sets the TPS54383 converter to sequence Channel 1 prior
to Channel 1 when Enable 1 is activated. Removing the JP3 shunt disables sequencing and allows Channel 1
and Channel 2 to be enabled independently.
3.2 Enable Jumpers (JP1 and JP2)
TPS54383EVM provides separate 3-pin, 100-mil headers and shunts for exercising the TPS54383 Enable
functions. When JP3 is removed placing the JP1 shunt in the left position connects EN1 to ground and turns on
Output 1 and placing the JP2 shunt in the left position connects EN2 to ground and turns on Output 2.
When the JP3 shunt is in the LEFT position, placing the JP2 shunt in the left position connects EN2 to ground
and turns on first Output 2 and then Output 1.
When the JP3 shunt is in the RIGHT position, placing the JP1 shunt in the left position connects EN1 to ground
and turns on first Output 1 and then Output 2.
