Reference Designator

Description

J1

Input to series, PI filter for EMC compliance testing. Note polarity, which is annotated in the silkscreen. Connect to a terminal block with a short, thick gauge (18AWG) wire.

TP1, TP2

VIN test points that bypass the EMC filter and connect directly to input capacitors. Enables more accurate efficiency measurements as well as potential parasitic minimization and signal integrity of AC measurements. Connect to test points with a short, thick gauge (18AWG) wire.

TP4

PGOOD test point for verifying PGOOD (output) flag feature

TP3, TP6

VOUT test points connected directly to output capacitors. Enables more accurate efficiency measurements, as well, potential parasitic minimization and signal integrity of AC measurements. Connect to test points with a short, thick gauge (18AWG) wire.

J2

Output (VOUT) terminal block. Connect to terminal block with a short, thick gauge (18AWG) wire.

TP11, TP12

EN test point for accurately measuring EN voltage. If EN voltage is to be applied (externally), resistor R2 and R4 potentially can need to be removed.

J5

Disable the regulator by shorting the pins of the jumper.

J4

TLVM23625EVM:

Jumper for configuring the switching frequency of the converter. Using the "key" annotated in the schematic and also in the silkscreen.

Placing the jumper on the adjacent pins sets the annotated switching frequency.

TP7, TP8Test points for applying an external signal source to synchronize the regulator to.
J3Jumper for configuring the output voltage. Set the voltage by using the "key" annotated in the schematic and also in the silkscreen, and by placing the jumper on the pins next to the annotated output voltage.
TP9, TP10Test points for applying an AC signal source (across an injection resistor) often used in evaluating the loop response in a current mode regulator, such as the TLVM23625.
