Description
The TPS2459EVM contains the necessary input connectors and external components to demonstrate the
application of 12-V and 3.3-V supplies to an AdvancedMC™-like load (12-V and 3.3-V load rails). The
module can be used independantly with just the on-board load capacitance, or the user’s test loads can be
attached to the output connectors. The EVM GUI provides easy access to the internal control bits to
complete device configuration for the target application. This configuration provides a complete set-up for
testing the TPS2459 power management of a single AdvancedMC™ slot in a non-redundant application.

If used in conjunction with a second EVM, with the two 12-V and two 3.3-V outputs connected together,
the modules can be used to test and demonstrate operation in redundant systems. The EVM features two
expansion ports and related jumpers needed to evaluate redundancy support. Setup details for this type of
testing are provided below. Additional EVM modules for this purpose can be ordered directly from the TI
website or by contacting your local TI representative.

As supplied from the factory, the EVM comes with current limits programmed for the requirements of
Management Power and Payload Power control for AdvancedMC™ modules. However, limit thresholds on
the 12-V channels are programmable by the user; instructions for modifying current limits are included
below. This flexibility with the TPS2459 enables use in other, proprietary systems requiring 12-V and 3.3-V
supply control.
