Introduction This chapter contains background information for the TPS54380 as well as support documentation for the TPS54380EVM-001 evaluation module (HPA001). The TPS54380EVM-001 performance specifications are given, with the schematic and bill of material for the TPS54380EVM-001. Topic Page Background ..........
The TPS54380 tracking dc/dc converter is capable of direct tracking, ratiometric tracking, and voltage sequencing with a second power source. The TPS54380EVM-001 is a two-channel EVM demonstrating the flexibility inherent in the TPS54380 design for tracking and sequencing core and I/O voltages.
Table 1–2 compiled with no load on the I/O output. The input voltage range is limited to 5.5 V by the distribution switch. The maximum input voltage for the TPS54380 is 6 V. Table 1–2. TPS54380EVM-001 Performance Specification Summary Specification Test Conditions Units 3.3 or...
Modifications 1.3 Modifications The TPS54380EVM–001 is designed to demonstrate the small size that can be attained when designing with the TPS54380, so many of the features, which allow for extensive modifications have been omitted from this EVM. Changing the value of R2 can change the output voltage in the range of 0.9 V to 3.3 V.

Test Setup and Results This chapter describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS54380EVM-001 evaluation module. The chapter also includes test results typical for the TPS54380EVM-001 and covers efficiency, output voltage regulation, load transients, loop response, output ripple, input ripple, and start...
Input/Output Connections 2.1 Input/Output Connections The TPS54380EVM-001 has the following three input/output connectors: V J1, V I/O J2 and V Core J3. A diagram showing the connection points is shown in Figure 2–1. A power supply capable of supplying 5 A is connected to J1 through a pair of 20 AWG wires.
Efficiency 2.2 Efficiency The TPS54380EVM–001 efficiency peaks at load current of about 1 A to 2 A, and then decreases as the load current increases towards full load. Figure 2–2 shows the efficiency for the TPS54380 at 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.
2.3 Power Dissipation The low junction-to-case thermal resistance of the PWP package, along with a good board layout, allows the TPS54380EVM-001 EVMs to output full rated load current while maintaining safe junction temperatures. With a 3.3-V input source and a 3-A load, the junction temperature is approximately 60°C, while the case temperature is approximately 55°C.
Output Voltage Regulation 2.4 Output Voltage Regulation The output voltage load regulation of the TPS54380EVM–001 is shown in Figure 2–4, while the output voltage line regulation is shown in Figure 2–5. Measurements are given for an ambient temperature of 25°C. Figure 2–4.
Load Transients 2.5 Load Transients The TPS54380EVM–001 response to load transients is shown in Figure 2–6. The current step is from 25% to 75% of maximum rated load. Total peak-to-peak voltage variation is as shown, including ripple and noise on the output.
Loop Characteristics 2.6 Loop Characteristics The TPS54380EVM–001 loop response characteristics are shown in Figure 2–7 and Figure 2–8. Gain and phase plots are shown for each device at minimum and maximum operating voltage. Figure 2–7. Measured Loop Response, TPS54380, V = 3 V MEASURED LOOP RESPONSE Phase...
Output Voltage Ripple 2.7 Output Voltage Ripple The TPS54X73EVM–225 output voltage ripple is shown in Figure 2–9. The input voltage is 3.3 V for the TPS54380. Output current is the rated full load of 3 A. Voltage is measured directly across output capacitors. Figure 2–9.
Input Voltage Ripple 2.8 Input Voltage Ripple The TPS54X73EVM–225 output voltage ripple is shown in Figure 2–10. The input voltage is 3.3 V for the TPS54380. Output current for each device is rated full load of 3 A. Figure 2–10. Input Voltage Ripple, TPS54380 V O (ac) 20 mV/div V phase 1 V/div Time Scale 1 µs/div...
I/O voltage. If the resistors R6 = R1 and R7 = R2, then the core voltage tracks the I/O voltage. The start-up voltage waveform of the TPS54380EVM-001 for this condition is shown in Figure 2–11. The waveform shows that the core voltage regulator tracks the output of I/O regulator until the core regulator reaches its nominal 1.8-V level.
