Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter contains background information for the TPS54110 with support documentation for the TPS54110EVM-044 evaluation module (HPA044). The TPS54110EVM-044 performance specifications are provided, along with a schematic and bill of material. Topic Page Background ..........
Background 1.1 Background The TPS54110 dc/dc converter is designed to provide up to 1.5-A output from a 3-V to 6-V input voltage source. Rated input voltage and output current range is given in Table 1−1. This evaluation module is designed to demonstrate the small PCB areas that may be achieved when designing with the TPS54110 regulator, and does not reflect the high efficiencies that may be achieved when designing with this part.
Performance Specification Summary 1.2 Performance Specification Summary A summary of the TPS54110EVM-044 performance specifications is provided in Table 1−2. Specifications are given for an input voltage of 3.3 V and an output voltage of 1.5 V unless otherwise specified. The ambient temperature is 25_C for all measurements, unless otherwise noted.
Modifications 1.3 Modifications The TPS54110EVM−044 is designed to demonstrate the small size that can be attained when designing with the TPS54110; therefore, many of the features, which allow for extensive modifications, have been omitted from this EVM. For reference designators, see the schematic in Figure 4−1. 1.3.1 Output Voltage Set Point Changing the value of R2 can change the output voltage in the range of 0.9 V...
Chapter 2 Test Setup and Results This chapter describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS54110EVM−044 evaluation module. The chapter also includes test results typical for the TPS54110EVM−044 and covers efficiency, output voltage regulation, load transients, loop response, output ripple, input ripple, and startup.
Input/Output Connections 2.1 Input/Output Connections The TPS54110EVM−44 has the following two input/output connectors: V (J1), and V (J2). A diagram showing the connection points is shown in Figure 2−1. A power supply capable of supplying 3 A should be connected to J1 through a pair of 20 awg wires.
Efficiency 2.2 Efficiency The TPS54110EVM−44 efficiency peaks at load current of about 0.5 A to 0.75 A, and then decreases as the load current increases towards full load. Figure 2−2 shows the efficiency for the TPS54110 at an ambient temperature of 25_C.
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 TPS54110EVM−044 EVMs to output full-rated load current while maintaining safe junction temperatures. With a 3.3-V input source and a 1.5-A load, the junction temperature is approximately 60°C wheras the case temperature is approximately 55°C.
Output Voltage Regulation 2.4 Output Voltage Regulation The output voltage load regulation of the TPS54110EVM−044 is shown in Figure 2−4; 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 Regulation OUTPUT VOLTAGE OUTPUT CURRENT 0.08...
Load Transients 2.5 Load Transients The TPS54110EVM−044 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 Characteristic 2.6 Loop Characteristic The TPS54110EVM−044 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, TPS54110, V = 3 V MEASURED LOOP RESPONSE Phase...
Output Voltage Ripple 2.7 Output Voltage Ripple The TPS54110EVM−044 output voltage ripple is shown in Figure 2−9. The input voltage is 3.3 V for the TPS54110. Output current is the rated full load of 1.5 A. Voltage is measured directly across output capacitors. Figure 2−9.
Powering Up 2.9 Powering Up The TPS54110 regulator provides an internal slow-start circuit to ramp the output voltage up at a steady rate. When the input voltage reches the UVLO start up threshold, the output begins to ramp up at the internally set rate until the final output set point is reached.
