User Interface Operation

The TPS55285EVM board can be enabled to work by the following steps:

  1. Turn on the power supply.
  2. If Vin>5.1V, put JP2 in the ON position to enable the output. If Vin<5.1V, connect EN to an external 3V power supply or adjust R3, R6 resistor values to enable the output.
  3. Open the TPS55285EVM GUI.
  4. Click the auto connect button on the target address widget (Figure 3-2). This automatically checks for target addresses (0x74, 0x75) and connect the GUI with the device. After the GUI and device are connected, the GUI reads all eight registers and shows a notification (Figure 3-3).
