4.1 Input/Output Connections
The TPS54429EVM-608 is provided with input/output connectors and test points as shown in Table 4. A
power supply capable of supplying 3 A must be connected to J1 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The load
must be connected to J2 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The maximum load current capability is 4.5 A.
Wire lengths must be minimized to reduce losses in the wires. Test point TP1 provides a place to monitor
the V
IN
input voltages with TP2 providing a convenient ground reference. TP7 is used to monitor the output
voltage with TP8 as the ground reference.

4.2 Start-Up Procedure
1. Ensure that the jumper at JP1 (Enable control) is set from EN to OFF.
2. Apply appropriate VIN voltage to VIN and PGND terminals at J1.
3. Move the jumper at JP1 (Enable control) to cover EN and ON. The EVM enables the output voltage.
