How to Use This Manual This document contains the following chapters: Chapter 1—Introduction Chapter 2—48-V Telecom Hot Swap Chapter 3—Schematics of the EVM and the Interface Card Chapter 4—Layouts of the EVM and the Interface Card Chapter 5—Setup of the EVM Chapter 6—Test Points FCC Warning This equipment is intended for use in a laboratory test environment only.
The TPS2330 is a Texas Instruments hot-swap controller that eliminates high- frequency hot-plug or hot-removal transients, reduces inrush current, and pro- vides overcurrent protection. To demonstrate this hot-swap controllability at high-voltage systems, an evaluation module has been developed, as present- ed in this user’s guide.
Because telecommunications applications often use –48-V or 48-V power supplies, a few external components (including a Zener diode and a resistor) are needed to make the TPS2330 suitable to meet the voltage requirements. To assist designers in the evaluation of the hot-swap controllers for such high- voltage applications, a set of evaluation modules has been developed: one is the 48-V telecom hot-swap EVM, and the other is an interface card.
The evaluation kit includes two boards: one is the hot-swappable TPS2330EVM-184 48-V hot-swap EVM (SLVP184 board) where the TPS2330 controls voltage ramp-up and reduces inrush current during hot-plug events; the other is an interface card (SLVP155 board) that supplies power to the 48-V hot-swap board.
Because the interface card was originally designed for universal application purposes, some of the components shown in the schematic above may not be on the board when shipped with this EVM kit. Refer to the bill of materials table for a complete component list. A key is installed in the edge connector on the interface board (SLVP155) to ensure that the hot-swap board can only be inserted the right direction.
The bills of materials (BOM) for both boards are shown in Tables 3–1 and 3–2, respectively. Table 3–1.

C4 and C8 on SLVP184 adjust the output turnon ramp-up rate and propagation delay time. Reducing the capacitance of C8 will increase the output ramp-up speed, and decreasing the value of C4 will reduce the output turnon delay time and increase the output ramp-up rate.

Chapter 4 Layouts of the EVM and the Interface Card The following figures illustrate the placements of the components and the top-layer layouts for both the 48-V hot-swap EVM and the interface card respectively. All the components are placed on the top layers except for the 0.1- F capacitor (C8) on SLVP184 that has now been included on the bottom layer.
For proper operation of the EVM, one 48-V power supply, and a voltage meter or an oscilloscope are required. Refer to the setup diagram in Figure 5–1 and follow these steps for hot plug testing: 1) Verify that the power-supply voltage is set at 48 V. Make sure the supply has the capability to provide the current loads need.
