3.2 Power Supply Setup
To power up the EVM, one power supply is needed. For full-load testing of the LP875761Q1EVM, a DC-power
supply capable of at least 10 A and 5 V is required. 5 A is suggested as a practical minimum for partial load. The
power supply is connected to the EVM using connector J4. 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
J8, can be used to compensate for voltage drop in the cabling.
With the power supply disconnected from the UUT, set the supply to 3.3 V or 5.0 V DC and the current limit to 5
A minimum. Set the power supply output OFF. Connect the power supply's positive terminal (+) to VIN and
negative terminal (–) to GND on UUT (J4 power-in terminal block). Check that jumpers on the boards are set as
shown in Figure 2-1 (factory default jumper configuration).
Set power supply output ON, and then continue with the following steps. Note that following steps are only an
example. Register values, enable control, mode and multiphase status may differ depending on the
LP875761Q1EVM configuration.
1. On Evaluation software GUI, click on Assert NRST (see Figure 3-6).
2. Click on either of the two Read Registers buttons. You should see ready message on green background next
to the Read Registers button (see Figure 3-7).
3. Check that Buck0 is enabled, checkbox is ticked (see Figure 3-8).
4. Click on Assert EN1 (see Figure 3-9).
5. Click on either of the two Read Registers buttons.
6. In this example case the GUI indicates Disabled under Mode until EN1 is asserted. After EN1 is asserted
Mode is changed to Enabled. In case BUCKx is enabled or disabled with bit instead of ENx pin, the Mode can
be checked by reading registers. GUI indicates also Master under Multiphase status of Buck 0. Mode of other
bucks are Disabled and Multiphase status is Slave to Buck0. The EVM is now ready for testing with default
register settings loaded.

3.3 Notes on Efficiency Measurement Procedure
Output Connections: An appropriate electronic load or high-power system source meter instrument, specified for
operation down to 500 mV, is desirable for loading the UUT. The maximum load current is specified as 4 A per
phase. Be sure to choose the correct wire size when attaching the electronic load. A wire resistance that is too
high will cause 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 J13. 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 will yield inaccurate efficiency measurements. For the most accurate voltage
measurement at the EVM, use J6 (unpopulated through-hole) to measure the input voltage and J1 (unpopulated
through-hole) 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 will yield
inaccurate efficiency measurements. In order to perform very accurate Iq measurements on the UUT, disconnect
input protective Zener diode D1 by removing the shunt J5 from the board. When connected, this diode will cause
some leakage, especially on high VIN voltages.
4 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 LP875761-Q1. Additional register control can be obtained from
Tools --> Direct Register Access.
4.1 Main Tab
The Main tab (see for example Figure 3-9) has the elemental controls for the EVM and provides a view to the
chip status. Starting from top, the main controls are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
I2C mode or 4 Enable mode. If this states I2C mode, device is controlled with I2C. When this states 4EN
mode, bucks are controlled with ENx pins.
Assert NRST: This checkbox will assert high level to LP875761-Q1 NRST pin. This pin enables the chip
internal voltage reference and bias circuitry.
Assert EN1: This checkbox will assert high level to LP875761-Q1 EN1 pin. Asserting EN1 may enable the
buck regulator(s) or switch to different output voltage level, depending on the register settings.
Assert EN2: This checkbox will assert high level to LP875761-Q1 EN2 pin. Asserting EN2 may enable the
buck regulator(s) or switch to different output voltage level, depending on the register settings.
Assert EN3: This checkbox will assert high level to LP875761-Q1 EN3 pin. Asserting EN3 may enable the
buck regulator(s) or switch to different output voltage level, depending on the register settings.
Assert EN4: In 4 Enable mode, this checkbox will assert high level to LP875761-Q1 SCL pin, (alternative
function is EN4). Asserting EN4 may enable one or more of the buck regulators, depending on the register
settings. This checkbox is visible only when device is configured to 4 Enable Signal Mode.
Assert SW Reset: To perform a complete SW reset to the chip, assert this checkbox. See the LP875761-Q1
datasheet for explanation of LP875761-Q1 reset scenarios.
Note
The recommended start-up sequence for LP875761Q1 is to first assert NRST, then write all needed
configuration bits by using the GUI, and then enable one or more of th buck regulators by ENx pin or
EN_BUCKx bit.

GUI Overview
www.ti.com
The Bucks section provides status information and enable controls for all the 4 buck cores. On the left of the
section are the check-boxes for the buck enable bits. The Mode field provides information on each of the buck
core and can have any of the values given in Table 4-1:
Table 4-1. Mode Information
BUCK MODE
Disabled
Buck state machine in 'disable'
Enabled
Buck state machine in 'enable'
The Multiphase status info field tells whether a buck core is configured as a master or a slave. The "Current"
field gives the result of the buck converter load current measurement operation. Output currents of each buck
core and total output current of one or more of the masters are shown on the fields.
The System Flags / Interrupts 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 active field shall show ‘1’ on red
background. The flag causing the interrupt will also be set on the Main tab. Interrupts on LP875761-Q1 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 field. Some of the flags also have a mask bits. 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.
The Power Good section is for Power Good pin control and indication. It includes the latched values of buck
Power Good Faults. These can be cleared with the Clear -button.
At the bottom of the GUI window is the Auto Write checkbox. If Auto Write is checked (default) any checking, unchecking or pulldown 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 LP875761-Q1 at a fixed interval in order to detect the
status of the chip, including operation mode, multi-phase status, and output current. If also the Poll Only Pins is
selected the software is monitoring only the state of Interrupt and Powergood pins. If Poll Status is not selected
or if Poll Only Pins is selected, user can read the registers by applying Read Registers. Bus Speed pulldown
menu selections are given in Table 4-2 below and is instantly applied for System I2C.

BUS SPEED SELECTION
EXPLANATION
Fast (400 kHz)
Fast I2C-compliant operation at 400 kHz
High-Speed (3.4 MHz)
HS I2C-compliant data transfer with master codes.
4.2 Other Tabs and Menus
The Tools pulldown menu hosts another way of accessing the LP875761-Q1 registers (see Figure 4-1). The
Direct Register Access tool can be used to read or write any register (see Figure 4-2). Selecting a register, the
bits appear on the right side Field View (see Figure 4-3). When moving mouse over bits in Field View, bits are
highlighted in the register view. Bits can be controlled either from register view or field view. Register settings can
also be saved to a file or pre-made register file can be loaded in the Direct Register Access tool. Registers can
be updated immediately or manually (see Figure 4-4).
When using direct register access, TI recommends un-checking the poll status check-box. This way the GUI will
only do the reads and writes commanded from the direct access dialog.

Bill of Materials
5 Bill of Materials
Table 5-1 lists EVM bill of materials. This is for output configurations listed in Table 2-1. See Section 7 for these
configuration specific assembly details.
Note
The LP875761-Q1 I/O lines are connected to the microcontroller through 0-Ω resistors. These
resistors are assembled to match the default I/O configuration of the LP875761-Q1. If LP875761-Q1
ENx/GPIOx or PGOOD pins are configured as push-pull outputs, corresponding 0-Ω resistors (R25,
R27, R28, R29) must be removed to prevent possible damage to the microcontroller I/O pins. In opendrain configuration the microcontroller internal pullups are enabled by the GUI and pullup resistors
R14 to R20 are not needed.

6 Board Layout
This section describes the board layout of the LP875761Q1EVM. See the LP875761-Q1 data sheet for specific
PCB layout recommendations.
The board is constructed on a 4-layer PCB. using 55-µm copper on top and bottom layers to reduce resistance
and improve heat transfer.
Board stack-up is shown in Figure 6-1. Figure 6-2 shows the top view of the entire board and Figure 6-3 through
Figure 6-8 show the component placement, layout, and 3D view close to the LP875761-Q1 device.
Figure 6-1. Board Stack-Up
The design utilizes dual side placement of the components. This allows placement of the inductors next to the
LP875761-Q1 device for reducing SW node area for improved efficiency and reduced EMI. SW nets have also
snubber components to reduce SW pin spiking and EMI. The input capacitors can be placed very close to the
LP875761-Q1 device, to bottom side, to keep parasitic inductances low, and there is also space for input filters
for further EMI reduction.

VIN nets are connected to bottom layer with multiple vias. This allows closer placement of the inductors, thus reducing SW node size
and EMI. Also snubber circuits are placed next to SW nets for EMI reduction. Multiple GND vias are used to provide solid ground around
the LP875761-Q1 device.

GND plane close to top layer (0.143 mm) helps to reduce parasitic inductance. Holes in the plane are under inductor footprint (SW node)
to reduce parasitic capacitance of the SW node, thus reducing noise coupling and improving efficiency.

VIN supply is routed in this layer between the ground planes to reduce radiated emissions. VIN and GND vias are placed in hatched
pattern to avoid large gaps in these planes.
