  • Page 6 Schematic Sequencing Jump (JP3) The TPS54386EVM provides a 3-pin, 100-mil header and shunt for programming the TPS54386’s sequencing function. Placing the JP3 shunt in the left position connects the sequence pin to BP and sets the TPS54386 controller to sequence Channel 2 prior to Channel 1 when Enable 2 is activated. Placing the JP3 shunt in the right position connects the sequence pin to GND and sets the TPS54386 converter to sequence Channel 1 prior to Channel 1 when Enable 1 is activated.
  • Page 7 3.3.1 Input Voltage Monitoring (TP1 and TP2) TPS54386EVM provides two test points for measuring the voltage applied to the module. This allows the user to measure the actual module voltage without losses from input cables and connectors. All input voltage measurements should be made between TP1 and TP2. To use TP1 and TP2, connect a voltmeter positive terminal to TP1 and negative terminal to TP2.
