EVM Setup
This section describes how to properly connect and set up the TPS7A10EVM-004, including the jumpers
and connectors on the EVM board.
3.1
Input/Output Connectors and Jumper Descriptions
3.1.1
J1 – GND
Bias ground return connector.
3.1.2
J2 – BIAS_S
Bias sense pads for an SMA jack.
3.1.3
J3 – BIAS
Bias power-supply connector.
3.1.4
J4 – IN to BIAS short
Short this jumper to tie IN to BIAS.
3.1.5
J5 – IN
Input power-supply voltage connector. Twist together the positive input lead and ground return lead from
the input power supply, and keep the leads as short as possible to minimize input inductance.
3.1.6
J6 – OUT
Regulated output voltage connector.
3.1.7
J7 – IN_S
Input sense pads for an SMA jack.
3.1.8
J8 – OUT_S
Output sense pads for an SMA jack.
3.1.9
J9 – EN
Output enable. To enable the output, connect a jumper to short VIN to EN or BIAS to EN.
3.1.10
J10 – GND
Input ground return connector.
3.1.11
J11 – GND
Output ground return connector.
3.1.12
J12 – Short to Disable
Short this jumper to disable the output. Depending on the current drive capability of the input or bias
power supplies, removing a short on J9 may be required so that the power supplies do not over power the
R1 pulldown resistor.
3.1.13
TP1 – BIAS_S
Bias sense test point.
