TPS6594x-Q1 Evaluation Module
The TPS6594x-Q1 and TPS6593x-Q1 evaluation modules (EVM) highlight the performance and flexibility of the
TPS6594x-Q1 and TPS6593x-Q1 power management ICs (PMICs). The modular design allows the EVMs to be
stacked, which provides a multi-PMIC solution and increases the scalability of these EVMs to develop and
evaluate a wide range of power applications. The scalability of the products supports up to six devices, with one
primary and up to five secondary PMICs. This document enumerates the features and interfaces provided to
develop and evaluate the PMIC.
