2.1 Input/Output Connections

The TPS54622EVM-012 is provided with input/output connectors and test points as shown in Table 2-1. A power supply capable of supplying 4 A must be connected to J1 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The jumper across J5 must be in place. See Section 1.3.5 for split-input voltage rail operation. The load must be connected to J2 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The maximum load current capability must be 6 A. Wire lengths must be minimized to reduce losses in the wires. Test-point TP1 provides a place to monitor the VIN input voltages with TP2 providing a convenient ground reference. TP3 is used to monitor the output voltage with TP5 as the ground reference.
