Power Up and Operation at VINx < 40 V

To operate the TPS92520EVM-133 with less than 40 V, then J11 must be removed and the VBIAS test point (TP1) needs to be connected to VIN, assuming that it is below 40 V, or can be connected to an external power supply.

The TPS92520-Q1 can be setup with a resistor divider that sets the UVLO rising and falling. See the TPS92520-Q1 data sheet for additional information. Table 6-1 shows the VUDIM rising and falling specifications from the data sheet. Always check the data sheet to verify no changes have occurred since publication.

The UVLO feature using a resistor divider on UDIM pins is described and outlined in the Figure 6-3 and Equation 1. See the data sheet for additional information.

The TPS92520EVM-133 is setup such that each channel has a UVLO rising of 31.5 V. See Figure 6-4.

If the UVLO rising and falling needs to be disabled, then connect UDIM1 (TP2) and UDIM2 (TP14) to V5D. If the TPS92520EVM-133 is to be used below 40 V then see Figure 6-5.

Note that if UDIMx is attached to V5D, then only the internal PWM settings can be used. The other option is to adjust UVLO rising by changing R4 for channel 1 and R17 for channel 2 using the equation for VIN(RISE), which allows using external PWM dimming, see Figure 6-6.
