  • Page 14: Modifications

    Modifications 1.3 Modifications The TPS54x73EVM-225 is designed to demonstrate the small size that can be attained when designing with the TPS54x73, so many of the features which allow for extensive modifications have been ommited from this EVM. Changing the value of R4 can change the output voltage in the range of 0.9 V to 3.3 V.
  • Page 15 Modifications The TPS54x73EVM–225 EVM also supports alternate output filter configura- tions by means of pads located on the back side of the PCB. The positions for C15, C16, and C17 provide space for up to three electrolytic type surface, mount capacitors, while the position for L2 accommodates popular inductors such as Vishay IHLP-5050 series with a 0.5 in.
  • Page 17: Test Setup And Results

    Chapter 2 Test Setup and Results This chapter describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS54x73EVM-225 evaluation module. The chapter also includes test results typical for the TPS54x73EVM-225 and covers efficiency, output voltage regulation, load transients, loop response, output ripple, input ripple, and start-up.
  • Page 18: Input/Output Connections

    Input/Output Connections 2.1 Input/Output Connections The TPS54x73EVM-225 has the following input/output connections: Vout J1, Vin J2, and Prechg_in J4. A diagram showing the connection points is shown in Figure 2–1. A power supply capable of supplying 6 A should be connected to J2 through a pair of 20-AWG wires.
  • Page 19: Efficiency

    Efficiency 2.2 Efficiency The TPS54x73EVM-225 efficiency peaks at load current of about 1 A to 2 A, and then decreases as the load current increases towards full load. The efficiency shown in Figure 2–2 is for the TPS54673 and the TPS54873 at an ambient temperature of 25°C.

  • Page 21: Power Dissipation

    Power Dissipation 2.3 Power Dissipation The low junction-to-case thermal resistance of the PWP package, along with a good board layout, allows the TPS54x73EVM-225 EVMs to output full rated load current while maintaining safe junction temperatures. With a 3.3-V input source and a 6-A load, the junction temperature is approximately 60°C, while the case temperature is approximately 55°C.

  • Page 29: Start-Up

    Start-Up 2.9 Start-Up Start-up voltage waveforms of the TPS54673EVM–225 are shown in Figure 2–17 through Figure 2–19. Figure 2–17 shows the start-up waveform with no precharge on the output. When the V reaches the nominal 2.95-V UVLO threshold, the slow-start capacitor (C6) begins to charge. When the voltage on the SS/ENA pin reaches the enable threshold of 1.2 V, the internal reference begins to ramp up at the slow-start rate.

Measured Start-Up Waveform, TPS54373 With Precharge V I 1 V/div V O 1 V/div Time Scale – 5 µs/div Figure 2–20 shows the start-up waveform with the output precharged and no load. Compare the precharge level to that in Figure 2–18 to see how start-up load current affects the voltage drop across the diodes and the final precharge voltage.

    Start-Up Figure 2–20, Figure 2–21, and Figure 2–22 show the same series start-up waveforms for the TPS54873-225. The above descriptions of the TPS54673 waveforms are applicable for the TPS54873 except that the input voltage is 5 V, the output voltage is 3.3 V, and the UVLO start-up threshold is 3.8 V.
