This power mode is most useful for systems in which a 5-V supply is already available due to additional circuitry like an MCU or wireless module. On the EVM, this method is also the preferred way to measure efficiency of the TPA3223 device. The PVDD voltage can still be connected to J1 but jumper J29 must be removed. The 5-V supply must be connected to TP40.
The same 5-V input is used for the TPA3223 supplies (AVDD, VDD, and GVDD), the EVM reset control (U7), all TPA3223 device pullups (RESET, HEAD, FREQ_ADJ, FAULT, OTW_CLIP), and status LEDs D4 and D2.
The 5-V supply can be isolated by by disconnecting J24. Once J24 jumper is removed, 5 V can be fed to only the TPA3223 supplies through Pin 2 on the jumper and all other 5 V are being powered through 5 V LDO.
Either approach can be used to measure efficiency, but the most accurate numbers will be with the 5-V supply separated so the TPA3223 supply voltage is isolated and measured independently of board LEDs, reset control, and so forth.
