2.3.2 Configuration Headers

The TPS65214EVM has multiple headers that can be used to change the input supply for some of the power rails. The PCB also includes headers that allows changing specific functions of the PMIC using the multi-function pins. Table 2-4 lists all the headers and the expected configuration for each selection. For reference, the header locations and configuration options are shown in Figure 2-3.
