TLD5542-1HIPOW_EVAL board Evaluation board manual Description Description The H-bridge architecture is amongst the most efficient buck-boost topologies for high current applications. TLD5542-1 provides complete control and diagnostics through the SPI interface. The TLD5542-1 can also be used in applications without microcontroller because of the limp home mode. The TLD5542-1HIPOW_EVAL demonstrates the high-power capability of the TLD5542-1 as current or voltage regulator.
TLD5542-1HIPOW_EVAL board Evaluation board manual Quick start procedure Quick start procedure Below, step by step procedures are laid out for setup and running the TLD5542-1HIPOW_EVAL in all available configurations. Installation procedure for PC GUI (graphical user interface) and μIO stick interface is described in Chapter 4. Setup as current regulator with no microcontroller Setup of the board as simple current regulator, without a microcontroller connection and without µIO stick nor PC GUI.
