Test Set-up www.ti.com
The following test and interface equipment (not supplied) is required to verify EVM module operation, and
begin using the EVM.
• Power supply, 3.3 VDC, 500 mA minimum.
• Power supply, 12 VDC, 10 A minimum.
• Oscilloscope, 4 channel, with current probe.
• Personal computer, running Windows OS (95/98/2000/NT/XP), with USB port.
Connect the TPS2459EVM and test equipment as shown in Figure 3 for functional check-out of the board
and a good starting point for user evaluation of device operation. Screen print labeling on the board
employs a naming convention in keeping with the nomenclature of the target ATCA™ and MicroTCA™
applications. The input 3.3-V supply is connected to the 3V3IN jack, and the 12-V supply is connected to
the 12VIN jack. A cross-reference of power rail labeling to standards naming is shown in Table 4 .
