inquire about a replacement.
2.1
Input/Output Connector Description
The description of the main connectors on the EVM board are as follows:
• Connector J5 is the power input terminal for the EVM board. The terminal block provides a power (VIN)
and ground (GND) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a cable harness.
• Connector J19 is the regulated output voltage of the first buck converter. The terminal block provides a
power (+) and ground (–) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a cable harness for
connecting a load.
• Connector J21 is the regulated output voltage of the second buck converter. The terminal block
provides a power (+) and ground (–) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a cable harness
for connecting a load.
• Connector J20 is the regulated output voltage of the first LDO. The terminal block provides a power (+)
and ground (–) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a cable harness for connecting a
load.
• Connector J22 is the regulated output voltage of the second LDO. The terminal block provides a power
(+) and ground (–) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a cable harness for connecting a
load.
• Use connector J9 to sense VOUT from Buck0 and Buck1.
• Use connector J8 tor sensing input voltage to all four regulators: Buck0, Buck1, LDO0, LDO1.
• Connector J28 is for connecting USB cable to EVM board. It is compatible with a Mini USB Type B
receptacle.
2.2
Software Installation
The EVM is controlled through a graphical user interface (GUI) software. The software communicates with
the EVM through an available USB port. The minimum hardware requirements for the EVM software are:
• IBM PC-compatible computer running a Microsoft Windows® XP or newer operating system
• Available USB port
• Mouse
The latest downloadable software is available at http://www.ti.com/tool/LP87333Q1EVM. Download the zip
file onto your local hard drive, and then unzip this folder. Connect the EVM to the PC with the USB cable.
Refer to Figure 1.
1. With the power supply disconnected from the EVM unit, open the un-zipped folder and click on the
LP8733_installer.exe file to start the software.
2. On the evaluation software window bottom left corner, you should see text “Hardware connected”.

2.3
Power Supply Setup
A bench-top DC power supply is needed to power up the EVM. For full-load testing of the LP8733xEVM or
LP8732xEVM, a DC-power supply capable of at least 8 A and 4 V is required. 4 A is suggested as a
practical minimum for partial load. The power supply is connected to the EVM using connector J5. The
power supply and cabling must present low impedance to the UUT; the length of power supply cables
must be minimized. Remote sense, using connector J11, can be used to compensate for voltage drops in
the cabling.
With the power supply disconnected from the EVM, set the supply to 3.7-V DC and the current limit to 4 A,
minimum. Set the power supply output OFF. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the power supply to VIN
and negative terminal (–) to GND on the EVM (J5 power-in terminal block). Check that jumpers on the
board are set as shown in (factory default jumper configuration).
Set power supply output ON, and then continue with the following steps:
1. Click on Assert EN check box. See marking 1 in Figure 3..
2. Click on Read Registers button (marking 2 in Figure 3). User should see “I2C Status: ready” message
on the green background next to the Read Registers button.
The EVM is now ready for testing with default register settings loaded.

Notes on Efficiency Measurement Procedure
Output Connections: An appropriate electronic load or high-power system source meter instrument,
specified for operation down to 700 mV, is desirable for loading the EVM. The maximum load current is
specified as 8 A. Be sure to choose the correct wire size when attaching the electronic load. A wire
resistance that is too high causes a voltage drop in the power distribution path, which becomes significant
compared to the absolute value of the output voltage. Connect an electric load to J19 or J21. It is advised
that, prior to connecting the load, it be set to sink 0 A to avoid power surges or possible shocks.
Voltage drop across the PCB traces yield inaccurate efficiency measurements. For the most accurate
voltage measurement at the EVM, use J8 to measure the input voltage and J9 to measure the output
voltage.
To measure the current flowing to/from the UUT, use the current meter of the DC power supply/electric
load as long as it is accurate. Some power source ammeters may show offset of several milliamps and
thus yields inaccurate efficiency measurements. In order to perform very accurate IQ measurements on the
EVM, disconnect input protective Zener diode D1 by removing the shunt J7 from the board. When
connected, this diode will cause some leakage, especially at high VIN voltages.

GUI Overview
The evaluation software has the following tabs: Main, Config, and Advanced. The three tabs together
provide the user access to the whole register map of the LP8732 and LP8733 devices.

GUI Overview
www.ti.com
3.1
Main Tab
The Main tab has the elemental controls for the EVM and provides a view of the chip status. Starting from
top, the main controls are:
• Assert EN: This checkbox asserts logic high level voltage to LP8732 or LP8733 EN pin. Asserting EN
may enable the Buck/LDO regulator(s) depending on the register settings.
• Assert SW Reset: To perform a complete SW reset to the chip, click this checkbox. See the LP8732x
and LP8733x data sheets for explanation of various reset scenarios.
The "Bucks LDOs" section provides enable controls and status information for bucks and LDOs as follows:
• Enable check boxes provide enable/disable control for all bucks and LDOs.
• The “Current” field provides approximate level of load current on each buck.
The "System Flags / Interrupts / Pins" section as well as the "Interrupt bits" and the "Status bits" sections
give data on system faults and warnings. If the interrupt is set for any reason the Interrupt field shall show
‘1’ on red background. The flag causing the interrupt will also be set on the Main tab. Interrupts on LP8732
or LP8733 can only be cleared by writing '1’ to associated registers. Any individual flag can be cleared by
clicking the "Clear" button next to each flag. Some of the flags also have a mask bit. If "Mask" check-box
of certain flag is checked, the interrupt is not generated. The "Status" bits will show the current status of
the faults.
At the bottom of the GUI window is the "Auto Write" checkbox. If "Auto Write" is checked (default) any
checking, un-checking or pull-down menu selections will immediately launch I2C writes to the chip
register(s). If not checked, the user can update the chip registers to correspond the configuration selected
on the GUI by clicking "Write Registers".
If "Poll Status" is selected the software sends a query to the LP8732 or LP8733 device at a fixed interval
in order to detect the status of the chip, including operation mode and load current. If not selected, user
can read the registers by clicking "Read Registers".
3.2
Other Tabs and Menus
The "Tools" pulldown menu hosts another way of accessing the LP8732 or LP8733 registers. The "Direct
Register Access" tool can be used to read or write any register. When using direct register access, unchecking the “Poll Status” check-box is recommended. This way the GUI only does the reads and writes
commanded from the direct access dialog.
The "Config" and "Advanced" tabs provide the user with pulldown menus and check-boxes for the part of
the register space that is not covered by the Main tab, such as output voltage control. These controls are
self-explanatory. Please refer to the LP8733/32 datasheet for explanation of the functions.
3.3
Console
To show or hide the console, toggle the option in the View pulldown menu. The console can be used to
access any of the LP8732 or LP8733 registers. Registers can be read or written simply by referring to the
logical registers by their name.
The console supports use of scripts. If a text file containing commands supported by the console is stored
in the same folder as the evaluation software executable, then the script can be launched from the
console by typing the text file name, like script.txt.

Board Layout
This section describes the board layout of the LP8733xEVM and LP8732xEVM. See LP8732xx or
LP8733xx data sheet for specific PCB layout recommendations. The board is constructed on a 4-layer
PCB. Figure 4 shows the top view of the entire board. Routing is mostly done on top and bottom layers.
Top layer contains the copper areas connecting the VOUT pads of the inductors and output capacitors
together and to the load terminals. 2nd layer is the ground plane and 3rd layer contains the VIN copper
area and copper areas for the VOUT nets. Also the bottom layer contains large copper area filled with
ground. Input capacitors are placed as close as possible to the LP8732xx or LP8733xx device for keeping
the critical VIN and GND traces short. Output capacitors and inductors are placed around the input
capacitors.
