SNVU588A December 2017 – January 2022 TPS40345
The TPS40345EVM-353 provides a test point and local ground for measuring the power good output voltage. A 100-kΩ resistor pullup to BP (R9) is included to allow the power-good signal to be monitored without requiring an external pull-up. For true open-drain operation with no pullup, remove R9. With R9 removed, TP16 can be connected to TP17 of another TPS40345EVM-353 to provide sequential start-up of the two TPS40345EVM-353 converters.
