Use the following instructions to perform
Power Mux test:
- Use Channel 1 and Channel 2 to test
PowerMuxing capability of TPS25948.
- Populate R30 with 0-Ω resistor to connect
VOUT1 and VOUT2.
- Connect J20 jumper setting to 1-2 to
connect SPLYGD signal of Channel 1 to OVLO signal of Channel 2. This setting makes Channel
1 as primary and Channel 2 as secondary channels. Keep J17 open to keep reverse current
blocking enabled on TPS259482.
- Change the UVLO threshold setting for
each channel as per the voltage intended to be applied.
- Apply primary voltage on Channel 1 and
secondary voltage on Channel 2.
- Test various conditions.
- Turn off primary channel to see output being powered from secondary channel.
- Turn back on primary channel to see output connected back to primary from secondary
channel.
Test Waveform of PowerMux configuration when primary voltage = 12 V, secondary voltage = 20
V, and output transitioning from primary to secondary voltage as primary loses power.
