TPS7A78EVM-011 Evaluation module
5.1.5
J6 and J7: Power-Good (PG) and Power-Fail (PF) Signals
The TPS7A78 device has two open-drain signals (power-good and power-fail) that are both pulled up to
V
LDO_IN
by default.
Becuase of the high-impedance open-drain logic, the AC supply frequency noise may be present on those
signals when they are high. A low-impedance digital buffer isolation circuit is recommended, such as the
U2 device in
, to obtain noise-free PG ans PF signals. Jumpers J6 and J7 connect the device PG
and PF signals directly to the TP7 and TP5 test points because the digital buffer circuit is not populated
with the default EVM setting.
NOTE:
When high-voltage differential scope probes are used when testing the TPS7A78EVM-011,
the digital buffer circuit U2 in
is recommended to be populated and jumpers J6 and
J7 must be open to obtain noise-free PG and PF signals.
5.1.6
J2: V
LDO_OUT
Regulated DC output voltage connector.
NOTE:
This EVM is optimized for a 3.3-V output and a 27-mA to 55-mA (max) load current. If your
application requires higher output current, see the
Application and Implementation
section for the proper setting of your application requirement.
