    Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter contains background information for the TPS54614 and support documentation for the TPS54614 EVM evaluation module. The TPS54614 EVM performance specifications are given, as well as modification instructions if different preset output voltages are desired. Topic Page Background .
  • Page 10: Background

    For guidelines on selecting an output inductor and output capacitor for a specific application, refer to Texas Instruments application report SLVA105 – Designing With Internally Compensated SWIFTt Regulators.
  • Page 11: Modifications

    Modifications 1.3 Modifications The EVM can be modified for different preset output voltages by using other devices in the TPS5461x family. For output voltages less than 2.5 V, only U1 needs to be changed. For output voltages 2.5 V and higher, the output capacitor (C1) also needs to be changed.
  • Page 13: Setup And Test Results

    Chapter 2 Setup and Test Results This chapter describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS54614 EVM. This chapter also presents the test results for the TPS54614, and covers efficiency, output voltage regulation, load transients, loop response, output ripple, and start-up. Topic Page Input/Output Connections...
  • Page 14: Input/Output Connections

    Input/Output Connections 2.1 Input/Output Connections The TPS54614 has the following four input/output connections: input, input return, output, and output return. A diagram showing the connection points is shown in Figure 2–1. Connect a power supply capable of supplying 5 A to J1 through a pair of 20 AWG wires.
  • Page 15: Efficiency

    Efficiency 2.2 Efficiency The TPS54614 efficiency peaks at around 1.5 A of load current. At a full 6-A load the efficiency drops to around 83% with a 5-V input source. The efficiency shown in Figure 2–2 is typical for an ambient temperature of 25°C. The efficiency is lower at higher ambient temperatures, due to temperature variation in the drain-to-source resistance of the MOSFETs.
  • Page 16: Thermal Performance

    Thermal Performance 2.3 Thermal Performance The plot in Figure 2–4 shows the junction temperature versus the load current at 25°C ambient temperature. The case temperature is plotted in Figure 2–5. The low junction-to-case thermal resistance of the PWP package, along with a good board layout, helps to keep the junction temperature low at high output currents.
  • Page 17: Output Voltage Regulation

    Output Voltage Regulation 2.4 Output Voltage Regulation The output voltage load regulation at 25°C is shown in Figure 2–6. The output voltage varies less than 0.3% over the entire input voltage range of 3.3 V to 5.0 V, and load range of 0 A to 6 A. Figure 2–6.
  • Page 18: Load Transients

    Output Voltage Regulation 2.5 Load Transients The TPS54614 EVM response to load transients is shown in Figure 2–7 and Figure 2–8. The load transient in Figure 2–7 transitions from 1.5 A to 4.5 A in 16 µs, while the load transient in Figure 2–8 transitions from 4.5 A to 1.5 A in 12 µs.
  • Page 19: Loop Characteristics

    Output Voltage Regulation 2.6 Loop Characteristics The loop gain and phase for a 5.0-V input and a 6.0-A load are shown in Figure 2–9 and Figure 2–10. The loop crossover frequency is approximately 50 kHz, and the phase margin is approximately 46°. Figure 2–9.
  • Page 20: Output Voltage Ripple

    Output Voltage Regulation 2.7 Output Voltage Ripple The output ripple voltage is plotted in Figure 2–11 for a 3.3-V input, and in Figure 2–12 for a 5.0-V input. The TPS54614 has a typical output voltage ripple of less than 15 mV Figure 2–11.
  • Page 21: Input Voltage Ripple

    Output Voltage Regulation 2.8 Input Voltage Ripple The input voltage ripple for a 6-A load is shown in Figure 2–13 for a 3.3-V input and in Figure 2–14 for a 5.0-V input. With a 5.0-V input, the ripple is approximately 260 mVpp. The input voltage ripple can be made lower by adding capacitance to the input.
  • Page 22: Start-Up

    Output Voltage Regulation 2.9 Start-Up The start-up voltage waveform of the TPS54614 EVM is shown in Figure 2–15. The TPS54614 output begins to rise when the input rises above the 3.0-V startup level. The output voltage then ramps linearly to 1.8 V in 3.6 ms.
