    User's Guide SLUU274 – May 2007 Using the TPS40193EVM-001 The TPS40193EVM-001 evaluation module is a 12V to 1.8V synchronous buck converter built around the TPS40193 synchronous buck controller. This module provides a convenient test platform for both evaluating the TPS40193 controller in a real application and prototyping synchronous buck converters using the TPS40193 controller.
  • Page 2: Introduction

    Description The TPS40193EVM-001 is designed to use a regulated 12V (8V–14V) bus to produce a regulated 1.8V output at up to 10A of load current. The EVM is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the TPS40193 in a typical 12V bus to low-voltage application while providing a number of test points for evaluating the TPS40193 in a given application.

    • = 20kΩ Table 2 contains common values for R7 to generate popular output voltages. The TPS40193EVM-001 is stable through these output voltages, but efficiency may suffer because the power stage is optimized for 1.8V output. Table 2. Adjusting V with R7 R7 (kΩ)
  • Page 6: Scp With R9 4 Test Point Descriptions

    4.4.1 Input Voltage Monitoring (TP1, TP2) The TPS40193EVM-001 provides two test points for measuring the voltage applied to the module. These test points allow the user to measure the actual module voltage without losses from input cables and connector losses. All input voltage measurements should be made between TP1 and TP2. To use TP1 and TP2, connect a voltmeter positive terminal to TP1 and negative terminal to TP2.
  • Page 7 4.4.4 Switching Waveforms (TP7, TP8, TP9, TP10) The TPS40193EVM-001 has three test points and a local ground connection (TP7) to monitor the main switching waveforms. Connect an oscilloscope probe to TP8 to monitor the high-side gate drive applied to the gate of Q2. Connect an oscilloscope probe to TP9 to monitor the switch node voltage. The gate-to-source voltage (V ) of the high-side FET can be determined by a math function TP8—TP9 if both...
