Make sure the EN jumper (J4) is open to float the EN pin, enabling the TPS542A50. Alternatively, the device can be enabled as described in Section 3.1.2.
If using an external load, connect the load to VOUT and PGND of J2 using copper
wire capable of handling at least 15 A (18-AWG or greater). If using the
built-in load with a function generator, connect the positive and negative
connections of the function generator to FGEN+ (TP19) and FGEN- (TP20),
respectively.
Apply appropriate VIN voltage to the VIN and PGND terminals of J1.
