USB BUS POWERED MODE FOR CONFIGURATION

The TMC5130-EVAL-KIT supports both, USB self powered operation (when an external power is supplied

via the power supply connector on the TMC5130-EVAL) and USB bus powered operation (only the USB

interface is connected to the PC). On-board digital core logic will be powered via USB in case no other

supply is connected. The digital core logic comprehends the microcontroller itself and also the EEPROM.

The USB bus powered operation mode has been implemented to enable configuration, parameter settings,

read-outs, etc. by just connecting an USB cable between module and host PC.

Motor movements are not possible in USB bus powered operation mode. Therefore, connect the power

connector and change to USB self powered operation mode.
