SLVUC30 July 2021 TPS1HC100-Q1
While the TPS1HC100EVM can be used as a standalone evaluation board without the need of any external microcontroller, the EVM also comes populated with BoosterPack headers to enable easy interface with a Texas Instruments microcontroller. The 40-pin headers of the BoosterPack headers are used, however all signals can be accessed using headers J1 and J2 enabling use with the 20-pin header. Additionally, by populating the "LDO to BP Power" jumper, the user has the ability to power the underlying LaunchPad via the integrated 3.3-V LDO on the TPS1HC100EVM. Table 2-1 contains a list of pins connected to the BoosterPack header.
BoosterPack Pin | Function | Note |
---|---|---|
J1-1 | 3.3-V Power Rail | Disconnect "LDO to BP Power" if powering from USB. |
J1-5 | Open drain FAULT pin from TPS1HC100B-Q1 | J13 will control whether FAULT pin is pulled up from the BoosterPack's 3.3-V rail or the 3.3-V onboard LDO of the TPS1HC100EVM |
J1-6 | Current sensing via the SNS pin | Resistor controlled either by digital potentiometer U3, potentiometer labeled "SNS", or soldered down resistor R12 |
J1-9 | I2C SDA line for onboard TPL0102-100 digipot (controlling the current limit) | Pulled up to BoosterPack's 3.3-V rail |
J1-10 | I2C SCL line for onboard TPL0102-100 digipot (controlling the current limit) | Pulled up to BoosterPack's 3.3-V rail |
J2-5 | EN to enable VOUT | Active high. Can be connected to PWM |
J2-6 | LATCH pin of TPS1HC100B-Q1 | Controls latching behavior of the TPS1HC100B-Q1. See the device data sheet for details. |
J2-7 | DIAG_EN pin of TPS1HC100B-Q1 | Enables and disables diagnostics for the TPS1HC100B-Q1. See the device data sheet for details. |
