1 Introduction
The TPS542A52EVM-059 evaluation module (EVM) uses the Texas Instruments TPS542A52 buck converter.
The TPS542A52 is a highly integrated high-efficiency synchronous buck converter with differential remote
sensing. It is capable of delivering up to 15 A to a load with output voltages ranging from 0.5 V to 5.5 V. The
high-side and low-side switching MOSFETs are integrated in the device package, along with their associated
gate drive circuitry.
High efficiency, wide-operating junction temperature, and high output voltage accuracy make the TPS542A52
an excellent choice for applications where high output voltage accuracy across rigorous thermal conditions are
required. The rated input voltage, output voltage, and output current range for the TPS542A52 are given in Table

Description
2 Description
The TPS542A52EVM-059 is set up to allow the user to easily measure the performance of the TPS542A52
buck converter under a wide range of input voltages and load currents. The EVM features two fully independent
circuits.
The first circuit that will be discussed is the lower half, or bottom circuit, of the EVM as described in Section 3,
and is denoted by U1. This circuit maximizes efficiency and performance of the TPS542A52 in applications that
are less constrained by layout area. The second circuit that will be discussed is the upper half, or top circuit, of
the EVM as described in Section 4, and is denoted by U1_2. This circuit highlights the small layout area (17 mm
× 14 mm) that is required by the TPS542A52 converter and all external components while still delivering high
performance and efficiency for space-critical applications.
The TPS542A52 features fixed-frequency voltage-mode control with user-configurable internal compensation,
switching frequency, current limit, and soft-start timing. It also features selectable pulse-frequency modulation
(PFM) for high light-load efficiency. These features are configured using external resistors. Optionally, a SYNC
pin for PWM control can be synchronized to an external clock for low system noise.
Other features include an enable pin, adjustable undervoltage lockout (UVLO), an open-drain power good
indicator, and a typical shutdown quiescent current draw of 12 µA.
The output voltage is programmable from 0.5 V to 5.5 V, and is set with a resistive divider between SREF and
AGND, with the mid-point of the divider being tapped from the VSET pin.
The low RDS(on) switching MOSFETs allow for high efficiency while maintaining low junction temperatures at high
levels of output current. The TPS542A52 is capable of delivering 15 A of current to a load with no air flow at
ambient temperatures up to 95°C, and up to 14 A with no external air flow at ambient temperatures of 105°C.
The extended operating junction temperature of -40°C to +150°C makes the TPS542A52 an excellent choice for
applications with rigorous thermal requirements. Examples of these applications can be seen in Section 2.1.
The rated input voltage, output voltage, and output current of both circuits featured in the TPS542A52EVM-059
are shown in Table 2-1. The nominal input voltage of the EVM is 12 V, and the default output voltage is 1 V.

TPS542A52EVM-059 Bottom Circuit
www.ti.com
3 TPS542A52EVM-059 Bottom Circuit
The first circuit that will be discussed is the bottom (lower) circuit on the TPS542A52EVM-059 shown in Figure
2-1. In this circuit, the TPS542A52 converter IC is indicated as "U1". This circuit has been designed to highlight
the performance and efficiency of the TPS542A52 across a wide range of operating conditions. The schematic
for this circuit is shown in Figure 3-1.
3.1 Modifications
This EVM is designed to provide access to the features of the TPS542A52 EVM. Some of the useful
modifications are outlined in this section of the user’s guide.
3.1.1 Output Voltage Setpoint
The output voltage is set by the resistor divider network of R5 and R6, as shown in Figure 3-1. The divider is
connected between SREF and AGND pins, where the mid-point of the divider is tapped to the VSET pin. Unlike
many converters, the output voltage is not set by connecting a resistor divider directly to the output node. This
allows the use of a differential remote sense for improved output voltage accuracy.
It is recommended to use R5 and R6 in the range of 1 kΩ to 100 kΩ, and the total impedance must be greater
than 10 kΩ. A footprint for a small capacitor, C42, has been added for high frequency noise filtering, but is
typically not necessary and is not populated by default.
The value of R5 for a desired output voltage, VOUT, can be calculated using Equation 1.

R5 = R6 × l
F 1p
VOUT
(1)
where
•
•
VSREF = 1.2 V
R6 = 20.0 kΩ (default EVM value)
Note that for output voltages below 1 V, the value of R6 should be reduced to keep R5 and R6 between 1 kΩ
and 100 kΩ, while still maintaining a total impedance greater than 10 kΩ.
3.1.2 Enable and Undervoltage Lockout
The operation of the TPS542A52 can be enabled or disabled using J4. The EN pin of the TPS542A52 is
connected to J4-2 (pin 2 of J4) and TP10. The EN pin threshold is 1.2 V. By leaving J4-2 floating, a pullup
current source internal to the TPS542A52 enables the device, and the device is operational across all valid input
voltages (4 V - 18 V).
Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) can be implemented by connecting a jumper between J4-2 and J4-3. In this
configuration, R11 and R13 should be populated according to the TPS542A52 device data sheet based on the
desired UVLO requirements. By default, R11 and R13 are not populated.
The TPS542A52 can be disabled by pulling J4-2 (the EN pin) below 1.2 V. When J4-2 is brought below 1.2 V,
the regulator stops switching and enters into a low power shutdown mode. This can be accomplished in multiple
ways.
The first method is to connect a control signal directly to the EN test point (TP10), referenced to AGND (TP13,
TP14, or TP15, recommended between 0 V and 5.5 V). Using this method, a jumper on J4 is not necessary.
Another method is to connect a jumper between J4-1 and J4-2, and connect a control signal to J6-1.
Default setting: J4 open, EN floating for always-on operation.

3.1.3 External Clock Synchronization
An external signal (recommended 0-V to 3.3-V) can be used as an external clock synchronization source. To use
this feature, the TPS542A52 must be enabled, either by pulling the EN pin high or leaving it floating as described
in Section 3.1.2. A jumper should be placed between J3-2 and J3-3, and the external clock signal should be
applied to the SYNC_CLK (TP12) test point, referenced to AGND. The external clock synchronization signal
applied to the SYNC pin must also be within -10% to +10% of the configured switching frequency.
3.1.4 Load Step with Function Generator
The TPS542A52EVM-059 provides a convenient location to connect a function generator for applying load steps
to the output. The positive and negative connections of the function generator are applied to FGEN+ (TP19) and
FGEN- (TP20), respectively. It is recommended that a 50-Ω termination on the output of the function generator is
configured.
The FGEN+ input drives the gate of a Texas Instruments CSD17527Q5A N-Channel NexFET Power MOSFET.
Two 0.02-Ω resistors in parallel (R14, R15), connected from the source of the CSD17527Q5A to PGND, provide
a 0.01-Ω resistance to measure the voltage across for determining output current, which is nominally equal to 10
mV/A. The voltage across these two resistors is measured from J5-1 and J5-2/3, for the positive and negative
terminals, respectively. TI recommends driving the CSD17527Q5A gate with at least 5 V to minimize the RDS(on)
of the CSD17527Q5A. The safe operating area of the CSD17527Q5A must be observed at all times when using
this feature.
3.2 Bottom Circuit Schematic
The schematic of the bottom circuit of the TPS542A52EVM-059 is shown in Figure 3-1. The components that are
not populated by default are shown with a red "X" through them.

TPS542A52EVM-059 Top Circuit (Small Layout Area Design)
www.ti.com
4 TPS542A52EVM-059 Top Circuit (Small Layout Area Design)
The second circuit that will be discussed is the top (upper) circuit on the TPS542A52EVM-059 shown in Figure
2-1. In this circuit, the TPS542A52 converter IC is indicated as U1_2. This circuit has been designed with a
minimal layout area for applications where space is limited. The default switching frequency is 1.2 MHz, which
allows for the use of smaller output inductance and capacitance. The converter and all associated components
fit inside a 17-mm × 14-mm layout area (238 mm2) while still delivering high performance for space-critical
applications.
4.1 Modifications
This EVM is designed to provide access to the features of the TPS542A52EVM-059. Some of the useful
modifications are outlined in this section of the user’s guide.
4.1.1 Output Voltage Setpoint
The output voltage is set by the resistor divider network of R5_2 and R10_2, as shown in Figure 4-1. The divider
is connected between SREF and AGND pins, where the mid-point of the divider is tapped to the VSET pin.
Unlike many converters, the output voltage is not set by connecting a resistor divider directly to the output node.
This allows the use of a differential remote sense for improved output voltage accuracy.
It is recommended to use R5_2 and R10_2 in the range of 1 kΩ to 100 kΩ, and the total impedance must be
greater than 10 kΩ. A footprint for a small capacitor, C22_2, has been added for high frequency noise filtering,
but is typically not necessary and is not populated by default.
The value of R5_2 for a desired output voltage, VOUT, can be calculated using Equation 2.

R5_2 = R10_2 × l

VOUT
(2)
where
•
•
VSREF = 1.2 V
R10_2 = 20.0 kΩ
Note that for Vout below 1 V, the value of R10_2 should be reduced to keep R5_2 and R10_2 between 1 kΩ and
100 kΩ, while still maintaining a total impedance greater than 10 kΩ.
4.1.2 Enable and Undervoltage Lockout
The operation of the TPS542A52 can be enabled or disabled using J3_2. The EN pin of the TPS542A52 is
connected to J3_2-2 (pin 2 of J3_2) and TP14_2. The EN pin threshold is 1.2 V. By leaving J3_2-2 floating, a
pullup current source internal to the TPS542A52 enables the device, and the device is operational across all
valid input voltages (4 V - 18 V).
Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) can be implemented by connecting a jumper between J3_2-2 and J3_2-3. In this
configuration, R12_2 and R15_2 should be populated according to the TPS542A52 device data sheet based on
the desired UVLO requirements. By default, R12_2 and R15_2 are not populated.
The TPS542A52 can be disabled by pulling J3_2-2 (the EN pin) below 1.2 V. When J3_2-2 is brought below 1.2
V, the regulator stop switching and enters into a low power shutdown mode.
To externally control the EN pin of the TPS542A52, a control signal referenced to AGND (TP15_2, TP16_2, or
TP17_2, recommended between 0 V and 5.5 V) can be connected directly to the EN_2 test point (TP14_2).
Using this method, a jumper on J3_2 is not necessary.
The converter can be put into shutdown mode manually by connecting a jumper between J3_2-2 and J3_2-1,
which grounds the EN pin.
Default setting: J3_2 open, EN floating for always-on operation.

4.1.3 External Clock Synchronization
An external signal (recommended 0-V to 3.3-V) can be used as an external clock synchronization source. To
use this feature, the TPS542A52 must be enabled by bringing the EN pin (J3_2-2 or TP14_2) high, or leaving
it floating. The external clock synchronization signal should be applied to the SYNC (TP12_2) pin, referenced
to AGND. The external clock synchronization source must also be within -10% to +10% of the set switching
frequency.
4.1.4 Load Step with Function Generator
The TPS542A52EVM-059 has a built-in load that can be controlled using the function generator inputs,
FGEN+_2 (TP20_2) and FGEN-_2 (TP21_2). The positive connection of the function generator output is
connected to FGEN+_2, and the negative connection of the function generator is connected to FGEN-_2. It
is recommended that a 50-Ω termination on the output of the function generator is configured.
The FGEN+_2 input drives the gate of a Texas Instruments CSD17527Q5A N-channel NexFET Power
MOSFET. Two 0.02-ohm resistors in parallel (R13_2, R14_2), connected from the source of the CSD17527Q5A
to PGND, provide a 0.01-ohm resistance to measure the voltage across to determine output current, which is
equal to approximately 10 mV/A. The voltage across these two resistors is measured from J4_2-1 and J4_2-2/3,
for the positive and negative terminals, respectively. TI recommends driving the CSD17527Q5A gate with at
least 5 V to minimize RDS(on) of the CSD17527Q5A. The safe operating area of the CSD17527Q5A must always
be observed when using this feature.
