Preface Read This First About This Manual This user’s guide describes the operation of the TPS61020EVM low-power, dc−dc evaluation module (EVM) for a high-efficiency, boost converter. The guide includes setup instructions for the hardware, a schematic diagram, a bill of materials (BOM), and PCB layout drawings for the evaluation module.
The EVM makes it possible to evaluate different device modes as well as the device performance. The TPS61020EVM is set to 3.3 V. The TPS61020EVM can be easily set up to provide any output voltage between 1.8 V and 5.5 V by adjusting the external resistor divider.
EVM Ordering Information 1.1 EVM Ordering Information Table 1−1. EVM Ordering Information EVM Number Description TPS61020EVM-025 Adjustable output voltage version set to 3.3 V.
Chapter 2 Evaluation With the TPS61020EVM This chapter details the evaluation process and features of the EVM. For this purpose, a load is connected to the output pins Vout and GND, allowing the load current to be adjusted between 0 A and the maximum current shown in Figure 2−1.
Maximum Output Current 2.1 Maximum Output Current Figure 2−1. Maximum Output Current vs Input Voltage 1400 1200 V O = 3.3 V V O = 5 V 1000 V O = 1.8 V V I − Input Voltage − V 2.2 Enable (EN) Jumper This jumper is used to enable the device.
