EVM Feature Details
The TPS2358EVM contains numerous test points throughout the circuit for user monitoring of waveforms
and voltage measurement. Table 7 lists the module test points and the signal available at each one. The
EVM PCB layout connects all ground nodes and supply returns to a common GND node, via several
power plane areas. However, due to potentially high loading conditions on the two Payload Power outputs,
multiple ground test points are provided to mitigate the measurement impact of return current drops.
Therefore, where appropriate, certain test points are paired in the table with the pertinent reference point
for meter return connections.

On the TPS2358EVM, the device fault ( FLTx) and power good ( PGx) outputs are all used to drive the
STATUS LED’s. Power for LED drive is derived from a diode-OR of the two 3.3-V input supplies.
