1 Evaluation Module Overview
1.1 Introduction
The TPS25983EVM eFuse Evaluation Board enables evaluation of TPS259830L eFuse from TPS25983 family.
The input power is applied between connectors J1 and J3 while J2 and J3 provides the output connection to the
load; refer to the schematic in Figure 3-1, and EVM test setup in Figure 2-1. D1/C1 provides input protection for
the TPS259830L eFuse while D2/C2 provides output protection.
S1 allows U1 to be RESET or disabled. A power good (PG) indicator is provided by D3. Scaled device current
can be monitored at TP15.

1.4 Device Information
TPS259830L device is used on the EVM and is a current limit variant. This device has a dVdT pin that can
drive external FET, which helps in reverse current blocking when the device is off. TPS25983 eFuse is a highly
integrated circuit protection and power management device in a small package. The device is operational over
a wide input voltage range. The device is a robust defense against overloads, short-circuits, voltage surges,
reverse current and excessive inrush current.

2.3.1 Hot-Plug Test
Use the following instructions to measure the inrush current during Hot-Plug event.
1. For checking inrush current control capability, insert additional capacitance of 1800 uF at C16 terminals.
Total output capacitance = 1800 uF + 220 uF approx. 2 mF.
2. Set Jumper J12 in 3-4 position to set Cdvdt at 10 nF for o/p slew rate of 0.5 V/ms.
3. Set the input supply voltage VIN to 12 V and current limit of 5 A. Enable the power supply.
4. Hot-plug the supply between input connectors J1 and J3.
5. Observe the waveform at VOUT (TP2) with an oscilloscope to measure the slew rate and rise time of the
eFuse with a given input voltage of 12 V.
