1.1 Introduction

The TPS65224Q1EVM evaluation module is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the TPS6522x device family, both automotive and industrial. The EVM can be used to load all the outputs at the maximum current levels and configure different output capacitor combinations for evaluating the performance of the device. The multiple test points in the EVM make measuring voltage levels for all the rails and test the functionality of the device easier. Use this document in conjunction with GUI User's Guide and TPS65224-Q1 Power Management IC (PMIC) with 4 BUCKs and 3 LDOs data sheet.

Multiple jumpers and test points enable a comprehensive evaluation of different functions of TPS6522x devices, both analog and digital. These include voltage monitors, ADC, different enabling options of EN/PB/VSENSE, GPIO functions and communication through I2C or SPI.

Due to the high output power of the TPS6522x devices, the EVM can get hot around the device. These areas are marked with the icon shown below. The maximum output currents of the buck converters are marked next to their connectors.
