Four SMA (J3, J5, J6, J16) connectors are included in the EVM, one for each buck. These connectors can be used for noise and ripple measurements and are DC filtered with 10 µF capacitors and terminated with 50 Ω resistors. The location of the DC filtering capacitor can be changed to alter the measurement point to be either after or before the second LC filtering stage. The default configuration is that each of the connectors take the measurement after the filter. The corresponding DC capacitor footprints are marked on the bottom side of the PCB as shown in Figure 3-2 and summarized in Table 3-6

Two load module connector footprints are provided, J1 and J2. These connectors are intended to be used with PMICLOADBOARDEVM which is sold separately. The connector components are not populated and the required connectors are shipped with PMICLOADBOARDEVM.
