1.1 Introduction

The TPS25730AEVM evaluation module (EVM) configures and tests the TPS25730A device by using four sets of switches to configure the device and a terminal block to test the device under load. The labeled LEDs indicate the status of the device.

The TPS25730A device is a USB-PD controller used for sink-only applications. The TPS25730A device is intended for devices that only sink power by the USB-PD, in the standard power range (as defined by the USB-PD 3.2 specification), between 5V and 20V. Practically, this means that a design using this device utilizes a USB-C® connector and is compatible with the USB-PD 3.2 specification. To use the TPS25730AEVM evaluation module, a USB-PD capable power source must be connected using a USB-C cable to the USB-C port of the TPS25730AEVM. This user guide describes how the TPS25730AEVM evaluation module can test various sink power configurations using on-board switches.
