Hi!
Can anyone help me? I need a +5VDC supply for testing an evaluation board I got from TI.
I only have an old computer PSU kicking around as a possible 5V source.
I have been told it will only work if the PSU passes its internal checks with reference to the PowerGood pin that normally connects to the motherboard.
Do I link the PowerGood pin to PSU ground to 'pull it' down so I can get power to the other pins, notably one of the +5V pins to connect to the board?
Anyone know how that system works? I don't want to fry my evaluation board before I listen to it....
Cheers Tom
