1.3 Specification

Use the TPS12S24FQ1EVM boards to evaluate automotive applications that use high-side switch controllers to drive primarily off-board loads. This EVM contains a pre-flashed microcontroller with firmware that acts as a SPI to USB bridge between the high-side switch (SPI) and the host PC system running the GUI (USB). The EVM is designed for ease-of-use and all that is needed is to plug-in USB and relevant loads, supply power, and evaluate through the GUI.

The EVM has multiple power rails that are derived from input power sources. The input supply, VIN, functions as the primary power rail for the device and supplies the VBB of the device. A TLV767 LDO is used to derive the 3.3V microcontroller supply from the 5V USB connection through the PC. This same supply is used to power the VDD for SPI operations of the TPS12S24F part.

Note that this board is intended to evaluate the standard functionality of the device. The board is not designed to withstand automotive transients events such as hard short-to-ground events, reverse battery events, and ISO 16750-2 load dumps.
