SLUU274A May 2007 – January 2022 TPS40193
The TPS40193EVM-001 contains a pre-bias injection circuit with 100-Ω resistor and series diode to allow testing and evaluation of the TPS40193 pre-bias support compatibility. Apply a voltage less than the target output voltage to TP17. Monitoring the output voltage during start-up demonstrates the ability of the TPS40193 to power up without drawing current from a pre-biased output. D2 prevents the output voltage from back-driving the pre-bias source.
