ABSTRACT Figure 1-1. TPS7A74EVM-068 Evaluation Module This user's guide describes the operational use of the TPS7A74EVM-068 evaluation module (EVM) as a reference design for engineering demonstration and evaluation of the TPS7A74 low-dropout linear regulator (LDO). Included in this user's guide are setup and operating instructions, thermal and layout guidelines, a printed-circuit board (PCB) layout, a schematic diagram, and a bill of materials (BOM).
Introduction 1 Introduction The Texas Instruments TPS7A74EVM-068 evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of the TPS7A74 LDO voltage regulator. As shown in Table 1-1, the TPS7A74EVM-068 contains one TPS7A74 LDO voltage regulator in the DSD package. An optional load transient circuit is also included to assist the user with high-speed load transient testing.
EVM. Setpoint resistors are prepopulated on the TPS7A74EVM-068 to provide an output voltage of 1 V, 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, or 3.3 V. Select one of these output voltages by using the provided shunt to short the necessary pin on header J16.
The slots were sized to fit most current probes, such as the LeCroy ™ AP015 or CP031 current probes. Figure 2-2. TPS7A74EVM-068 With Current Probes Attached SBVU076 – APRIL 2022 TPS7A74EVM-068 Evaluation Module Submit Document Feedback...
Optional kelvin sense points are provided using the SMA connectors J1 (VIN) and J2 (VOUT). 2.4 Optional Load Transient Circuit Operation The TPS7A74EVM-068 evaluation module contains an optional high-performance load transient circuit to allow efficient testing of the TPS7A74 LDO load transient performance. To use the optional load transient circuit, install the correct components in accordance with the application.
R12, R13, R14, R15, and R16 provide 1.42 A of pulsed load. The resulting test data shows a 50-μA to 1.42-A load step on VOUT of the LDO, with only a 47-μF capacitor on the output of the LDO.

TPS7A74EVM-068 PCB. The TPS7A74EVM-068 dissipates power, which may cause some components to experience an increase in temperature. The TPS7A74 LDO and pulsed resistors R12, R13, R14, R15, and R16 are most at risk of raising the junction temperature during normal operation.
