    Introduction 2 Introduction The Texas Instruments TPS7A21EVM-059 evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of the TPS7A21 LDO voltage regulator. As shown in Table 2-1, the TPS7A21EVM-059 contains one TPS7A21 LDO voltage regulator in the DSBGA package. An optional load transient circuit is also included to assist the user with high-speed load transient testing.
  • Page 4 TP2 and TP3 allow the user to measure the gate drive resistance R8 when power is turned off to the EVM. 3.2.9 TP4 TP4 is the enable pin to enable the gate driver device. Tie this pin to GND to enable the gate driver. TPS7A21EVM-059 Evaluation Module SBVU072 – OCTOBER 2021 Submit Document Feedback Copyright © 2021 Texas Instruments Incorporated...

    Optional kelvin sense points are provided using the SMA connectors J1 (VIN) and J2 (VOUT). 3.4 Optional Load Transient Circuit Operation The TPS7A21EVM-059 evaluation module contains an optional high-performance load transient circuit to allow efficient testing of the TPS7A21 LDO load transient performance. To use the optional load transient circuit, install the correct components in accordance with the application.

    The resulting test data shows a 1-mA to 500-mA load step on VOUT of the LDO, with only a 1-μF capacitor on the output of the LDO. Figure 3-3. TPS7A21EVM-059 Load Transient Results SBVU072 – OCTOBER 2021...
  • Page 8: Board Layout

    Figure 4-6 show the board layout for the TPS7A21EVM-059 PCB. The TPS7A21EVM-059 dissipates power, which may cause some components to experience an increase in temperature. The TPS7A21 LDO, LMG1020YFFR gate driver, and pulsed resistors R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are most at risk of raising to a high junction temperature during normal operation.
