2.2.4 Auxiliary Power Supply

Figure 2-10 shows how this reference design is powered by an auxiliary power supply. A voltage between 8V and 16V can be applied to connector J7. The eFuse TPS25947 is implemented to limit the input current and provide protection again reverse polarity. The current limit is set to 0.6A by R113. The undervoltage and overvoltage lockout is set to 6V and 16.3V by the resistors R104, R105, and R112. For a detailed description and formulas, see the data sheet.

TPS562203 is used to step-down the input voltage to 5V. This 5V is used to supply the C2000 control card. The 5V rail is stepped down by TPS7A2033 to 3.3V. Here a low dropout (LDO) regulator is used to generate a low noise 3.3V rail. This rail is used for the analog signal chain.
