J1 Input voltage positive connection
J2 Input voltage return connection
J3 Output voltage connection
J4 Output voltage return connection

2.2 Jumper Configuration

2.2.1 JP1 (ENABLE)
The JP1 jumper enables the device. By default, this jumper is set to the ON position. Put this jumper in the OFF
position to disable the output.
2.2.2 JP5(SYNC)
The JP5 jumper is for the frequency dithering selection. Placing a jumper across JP5 disables the frequency
dithering function. Left JP5 opens when using frequency dithering function.
2.2.3 JP6 (MODE)
MODE pin input jumper. Place a jumper across MODE and VCC to set in forced PWM mode, place a jumper
across MODE and GND to set in auto PFM mode.
2.2.4 JP7 (EXTVCC)
EXTVCC pin input jumper. Place a jumper across EXTVCC and VCC to select internal LDO. To minimize the
power dissipation of the internal LDO when both input voltage and output voltage are high, an external 5-V
power source can be applied at the VCC pin (JP4) to supply the TPS55289 and place a jumper across EXTVCC
and GND .

www.ti.com Test Procedure

3 Test Procedure
Use the following steps for the test procedure:
1. Set the power supply current limit to 10 A. Set the power supply to something around 12 V. Turn off the
power supply. Connect the positive output of the power supply to J1 and the negative output to J2.
2. Connect the load to J3 for the positive connection and J4 for the negative connection.
3. Turn on the power supply.
4. Slowly increase the load while monitoring the output voltage between J3 and J4. It must remain in regulation
when the load current is lower than 4 A.
5. Slowly sweep the input voltage from 9 V to 20 V. The output voltage must remain in regulation when the load
current is lower than the maximum load current specified in Table 2-1.
6. Turn off the load, turn off the power supply. Then turn on the load to discharge the output capacitors.

4 EVM Use Restrictions and Warnings:

4.1 EVMS ARE NOT FOR USE IN FUNCTIONAL SAFETY AND/OR SAFETY CRITICAL EVALUATIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO EVALUATIONS OF LIFE SUPPORT APPLICATIONS.
4.2 User must read and apply the user guide and other available documentation provided by TI regarding the EVM prior to handling
or using the EVM, including without limitation any warning or restriction notices. The notices contain important safety information
related to, for example, temperatures and voltages.
4.3 Safety-Related Warnings and Restrictions:
4.3.1 User shall operate the EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and environmental considerations stated in the user
guide, other available documentation provided by TI, and any other applicable requirements and employ reasonable and
customary safeguards. Exceeding the specified performance ratings and specifications (including but not limited to input
and output voltage, current, power, and environmental ranges) for the EVM may cause personal injury or death, or
property damage. If there are questions concerning performance ratings and specifications, User should contact a TI
field representative prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied
outside of the specified output range may also result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible
permanent damage to the EVM and/or interface electronics. Please consult the EVM user guide prior to connecting any
load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification, please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, even with the inputs and outputs kept within the specified allowable ranges, some circuit
components may have elevated case temperatures. These components include but are not limited to linear regulators,
switching transistors, pass transistors, current sense resistors, and heat sinks, which can be identified using the
information in the associated documentation. When working with the EVM, please be aware that the EVM may become
very warm.
4.3.2 EVMs are intended solely for use by technically qualified, professional electronics experts who are familiar with the
dangers and application risks associated with handling electrical mechanical components, systems, and subsystems.
User assumes all responsibility and liability for proper and safe handling and use of the EVM by User or its employees,
affiliates, contractors or designees. User assumes all responsibility and liability to ensure that any interfaces (electronic
and/or mechanical) between the EVM and any human body are designed with suitable isolation and means to safely
limit accessible leakage currents to minimize the risk of electrical shock hazard. User assumes all responsibility and
liability for any improper or unsafe handling or use of the EVM by User or its employees, affiliates, contractors or
designees.
4.4 User assumes all responsibility and liability to determine whether the EVM is subject to any applicable international, federal,
state, or local laws and regulations related to User’s handling and use of the EVM and, if applicable, User assumes all
responsibility and liability for compliance in all respects with such laws and regulations. User assumes all responsibility and
liability for proper disposal and recycling of the EVM consistent with all applicable international, federal, state, and local
requirements.
