2.6 Input Current Measurement

TPS544B27EVM default setting is that input current measurement feature is not used with IN_IN_P and I_IN_M shorted together then shorts to PVIN through J16 shunt on. To test I_IN_P and I_IN_M feature, remove the shunt from J16, connect pin1 of J2 (IIN) to pin2 of J1 (PVIN) with a short 10-AWG wires or better. Apply PVIN + to pin2 of J2 (IIN) and PGND to pin1 of J1. Thus, the input current can be measured.
