2.3.1 Default EVM Configuration

This section describes the default configuration programmed on the TPS65215-Q1 PMIC.

The TPS65215Q1EVM comes with the TPS6521501-Q1 PMIC installed, which is one of the orderable part numbers of the TPS65215-Q1 device family. The default output voltages for the Bucks and LDOs are shown in Figure 2-1. This information is based on the programmed default configuration on the TPS65215-Q1EVM. Refer to the device data sheet for more information about the settings that are reconfigurable, and the associated I2C registers.

Note: The TPS65215Q1EVM is designed to demonstrate some of the potential uses of the PMIC family. The EVM has more limitations than the TPS65215-Q1 device.

Use the multiple headers of the TPS65215Q1EVM to change the input supply for some of the power rails. The PCB also includes headers that allow for changing specific functions of the PMIC using the multi-function pins. An overview of the jumper options for each header is shown in Figure 2-2. All the headers and the expected configuration for each selection are listed in Table 2-2.

HeaderJumper Default Position
Supply voltage setupJ3VIN_LDO1Supply selection for LDO1

Default: setup to supply LDO1 with VSYS

J10VIN_LDO2Supply selection for LDO2

Default: setup to supply LDO2 with VSYS

J11EXTLDO_VINSupply selection for the external discrete LDO.

Default: setup to supply the discrete 3.3V LDO with VSYS

J4VIOVIO supply selection

Default: setup to use external 3.3V discrete LDO as the pull-up supply for the I2C pins and digital input pins)

Multi-function pin setupJ5VSEL

High = sets 3.3V output voltage on LDO1 if the LDO is supplied by a 3.3V source. (default EVM config)

Low = sets 1.8V output voltage on LDO1
J8MODE/STBY

Bucks switching mode

High = forced-PWM (default EVM config)

Low = auto-PFM
J12MODE_RESET

High = normal operation (default EVM config)

Low = performs a warm reset (reset target voltage and Bypass mode configs to the default NVM values)
