OPTIREG linear voltage regulator TLF4x77-3Lx demoboard ™ 2 Demoboard Configuration The demoboard can be easily configured via jumpers on the board. The board provides the following configuration options: • connect the enable signals EN1 and EN2 to VIN or to GND with a jumper •...
OPTIREG linear voltage regulator TLF4x77-3Lx demoboard ™ 2 Demoboard 2.3.1 Quickstart In order to get started with the demoboard right away, despite the numerous configuration options, a default configuration is presented. Placing the jumpers as shown in Figure 4 powers the device and applies an output voltage on each channel.
OPTIREG linear voltage regulator TLF4x77-3Lx demoboard ™ 2 Demoboard 2.3.2 Enable There are two jumpers on the board which can be used to enable the device. Each channel can be enabled or disabled separately. Placing the jumper between ENx and VIN connects the enable signal to VIN and enables the channel.
OPTIREG linear voltage regulator TLF4x77-3Lx demoboard ™ 2 Demoboard 2.3.3 CSOxSel selection The CSOxSel-pin can be used to program the behavior of CSOx. Depending on the votlage applied at the CSOxSel-pin, CSOx can either be connected to CSO1, CSO2 internally or put into a high impedance state. A jumper on the board allows to connect the CSOxSel-pin either directly to Q2, to GND or to Q2 with the means of a resistor divider.
OPTIREG linear voltage regulator TLF4x77-3Lx demoboard ™ 2 Demoboard Figure 7 CSO1 SET and CSO2 SET jumper setting 2.3.5 ST1 and ST2 selection The status outputs ST1 and ST2 can be configured with additional jumpers. There are three possible configurations indicated on the PCB. ST1 and ST2 are open drain outputs. They can either be pulled up to their corresponding output channels Q1 and Q2 or set to indicate an active "low"...
OPTIREG linear voltage regulator TLF4x77-3Lx demoboard ™ 2 Demoboard If the jumper is configured to light an LED when ST1 or ST2 are "low", then the schematic from Figure 9 applies. If the output voltages Q1 and Q2 are changed, then the series resistors R21 and R22 must be adapted. Make sure R21 and R22 limit the current through LEDs D1 and D2 to 20 mA maximum.
