About This Manual This User’s Guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the TPS73633EVM evaluation module (EVM). This EVM is designed to help the user easily evaluate and test the operation and functionality of the TPS73633. This User’s Guide includes setup instructions for the hardware, a schematic diagram, a bill of materials (BOM), and PCB layout drawings for the evaluation module.
Chapter 1 Introduction The Texas Instruments TPS73633DRB is a low dropout regulator (LDO) in a 3×3-mm QFN package that provides output currents of up to 500 mA. This IC has an NMOS topology with a voltage-follower pass element that allows operation with either low-ESR ceramic output capacitors or no output capacitors at all.
Background 1.1 Background The TPS73633EVM uses the TPS73633DRB in a 3×3-mm QFN package to provide 3.3 V at up to 500 mA. The EVM operates at full-rated performance with an input voltage between 3.5 V and 5.5 V. Although the IC does not require input or output capacitors, the EVM comes with these capacitors populated.
Chapter 2 Setup This chapter describes how to properly use the TPS73633EVM. Topic Page Input/Output Connector Descriptions EVM Connection ..Setup ............
