2 Getting Started

Only a power supply and the EVM are required to evaluate and test the LP876242-Q1 default configuration under load conditions. To start evaluating the LP876242-Q1 follow the following steps.

  1. Connect power to the EVM.
  2. Connect the EVM to the host PC through the USB. In the event that the power is provided by the USB cable, apply the appropriate jumper connection to connect +VBUS and VCCA see Table 3-5.
  3. Launch the GUI and evaluate.

Terminal J7, labeled VCCA in Figure 2-1, can accept wire gauges up to 14 AWG. The voltage supplied must be within the input range of the device, 2.8 V to 5.5 V. The power supply providing the input to VCCA is required to supply 135 % of the output power. Once power has been supplied to VCCA, the GPIO4 / ENABLE jumper can be used to power on the output rails. The default ON Request for the device is the ENABLE pin which is a level sensitive input. Please refer to LP876242-Q1 data sheet for more details.
