The TPS25730EVM allows for configuration and testing of the TPS25730 by utilizing four sets of switches for configuration and a terminal block for testing the TPS25730 under load. Labeled LEDs act as indicators of device status, and the potential final design solution size is illustrated by the white box around C1, R33, and J2.
The TPS25730 is a USB-PD controller used for sink-only applications. The TPS25730 is intended for devices that only sink power by the USB-PD, in the Standard Power Range (as defined by the USB-PD 3.1 specification), between 5 V and 20 V. Practically, this means that a design using this device utilizes a USB-C® connector and is compatible with the USB-PD 3.1 specification. To use the TPS25730EVM, a USB-PD capable power source needs to be connected via a USB-C cable to the USB-C port of the TPS25730EVM. This user's guide describes how the TPS25730EVM can be used to test various sink power configurations using on-board switches.
