Related Documentation From Texas Instruments Preface Read This First About This Manual This user’s guide describes the operation of the TPS6204xEVM low-power dc- dc evaluation module for high-efficiency, step-down converters. How to Use This Manual This document contains the following chapters: Chapter 1—Introduction...
Chapter 1 Introduction The Texas Instruments TPS62040 and TPS62046 evaluation modules (EVM) for low-power, high-efficiency, step-down converters help designers evaluate these devices. The EVMs make it possible to evaluate different modes of the devices as well as the device performance.
EVM Ordering Information 1.1 EVM Ordering Information Table 1−1. EVM Ordering Information EVM Number Description TPS62040EVM−229 Adjustable output voltage version set to 1.8 V TPS62046EVM−229 3.3-V fixed output voltage version...
Chapter 2 Evaluation With the TPS6204xEVM This chapter details the evaluation process and features of the EVM. For this purpose, a load is connected to the output pins V and GND, which allows the load current to be adjusted between 0 A and 1.2 A. For accurate output voltage and input voltage measurements, it is important to measure the voltage on the input and output voltage terminals with a voltmeter connected directly to the input voltage or output voltage terminals.
Enable (EN) Jumper 2.1 Enable (EN) Jumper This jumper is used to enable the device. Connecting the EN pin to ENABLE enables the part. Connecting the EN pin to DISABLE disables the device. 2.2 Mode Selection Jumper This jumper is used to choose between PWM and PFM/PWM modes of operation.
Chapter 3 PCB Layout, BOM, and Schematic As for all switch mode power supplies, the PCB layout is a very important step in the power supply design process. The following figures show the layout for the adjustable and fixed output voltage EVMs. A bill of materials and a schematic are provided.
