J7 (B1_VOUT) and J14 (GND), or J8 (pin 1 = LDO_SW_VOUT, pin 1 = GND) —
TheJ7 and J14 banana
jacks and the J8 screw terminal are for attaching a load to draw power from BUCK1.

Test Points
This section describes the test points located on the TPS65291EVM to measure the voltage of all pins of
the TPS65291 device.
lists the test points.
(1)
Ground test points are labeled GND (except for TP15) and do not show TPxx on the silk-screen of the PCB.
(2)
Headers used as test points are tin or gold-plated tin but do not have colored plastic and are designated Jxx instead of TPxx.

CAUTION
J17 does not allow for the installation of a shunt to short two pins together. The
center pin, VIN_MON, is an output that indicates a valid input supply on the
B1_VIN or B2_VIN pin. The B1_VIN and B2_VIN pins have Kelvin connections
routed to the J17 header and should be used for accurately measuring voltage
with an oscilloscope.
