Chapter 1 Introduction This user’s guide describes the TPS60120EVM-174 battery-powered, dual-output power supply evaluation module (SLVP174). This power supply solution is comprised of a TPS60120 low-power dc/dc converter and a TPS70751 dual LDO regulator with integrated supervisory and power-up sequencing circuitry. Figure 1-1 shows a block diagram of the EVM. The DSP is not part of the EVM.
0.055-µA current in shutdown mode Low-battery indicator Available in thermally enhanced TSSOP package (PowerPAD ) For a complete functional description, refer to the TPS60120 data sheet, SLVS257, and the Charge Pump application note, SLVA070.

LDO Regulator 1.2 LDO Regulator LDO regulators use a series pass element, feedback network, including an error amplifier and voltage reference to provide a regulated output voltage from a slightly larger and variable input voltage. Specific features of the TPS707xx family of dual LDO regulators include: Fixed and adjustable dual-output voltages optimized for low power DSPs and processor power supplies Logic selectable power-up sequencing...
Design Strategy 1.3 Design Strategy The demand for smaller electronic devices is driving the need for innovative battery powered solutions including smaller batteries because smaller batteries provide smaller voltages. Since the battery supply voltages vary over the life of the battery, it is necessary to have a dc/dc converter capable of providing a regulated output over a wide range of input voltages.
Adjustment by Switch and Jumpers As with any power solution, the output voltages should be monitored to ensure that the electronics are properly notified and shut down if the voltages fall below a predetermined threshold. The TPS70751 monitors both 3.3-V and 1.8-V outputs and provides an open drain, active low, 120-ms delayed RESET output.

Chapter 2 EVM Test Setup This chapter provides a recommended test setup. Figure 2–1 shows the test setup. Follow these steps for initial power up of the SLVP174: 1) Adjust the settings of the jumpers to fit test requirements. If the battery pack is selected as the input, install two AA alkaline batteries into the battery pack on the back of the board.
3.1 Test Results Figures 3–1 through 3–6 show the results of various test conditions using the TPS60120EVM-174. Figures 3–1 shows the startup curves of the 3.3-V output (CH1) and 1.8-V output (CH2) of the EVM. Each at no load using switch SW1 to manually trigger start up.
Test Results Figures 3–3 shows the startup curves of the TPS60120, 3.3-V output( CH1), and the TPS70751, 3.3-V output (CH1) and 1.8-V output (CH2). Switch SW1 was disconnected and the TPS60120 ENABLE (CH3) pin was enabled using a pulse generator. Both TPS70751 outputs have 1 mA loads. The TPS60120 output is distorted due to the load on the charge pump from the charging of the TPS70751 output capacitors and the 1 mA loads.

Test Results Figures 3–5 shows an ac measurement of the TPS60120, 3.3-V output, with each TPS70751 output loaded with 100 mA. Figure 3–5. AC Measurements (TPS60120) Figures 3–6 shows an ac measurement of the TPS70751, 3.3-V output (CH1) and 1.8-V output (CH2), each loaded with 100 mA. The TPS70751 3.3-V output capacitors provide some filtering of the TPS60120 3.3-V output waveform shown in Figure 3–5.
