5.2.2 J2 to LOAD

The connection between the LOAD and J2 of TPS56221EVM-579 can carry as much as 25 ADC of current. The minimum recommended wire size is 2xAWG #14 with the total length of wire less than 2 feet (1 foot input, 1 foot return).

Note:

J2 is a 4 position terminal jack using positions for each VOUT and GND. Each position is rated to support 15 A of output current. When delivering more than 15 A of current, both VOUT and both GND positions should be used.
