Introduction
1 Introduction
The TPS54383EVM evaluation module (EVM) is a dual non-synchronous buck converter providing fixed 5.0-V
and 3.3-V output at up to 2 A each from a 12-V input bus. The EVM is designed to start up from a single supply,
so no additional bias voltage is required for start-up. The module uses the TPS54383 Dual Non-Synchronous
Buck Converter with Integral High-Side FET.
1.1 Description
TPS54383EVM is designed to use a regulated 12-V (+10% / -20%) bus to produce two regulated power rails, 5.0
V and 3.3 V at up to 2 A of load current each. TPS54383EVM is designed to demonstrate the TPS54383 in a
typical 12-V bus system while providing a number of test points to evaluate the performance of the TPS54383
in a given application. The EVM can be modified to other input or output voltages by changing some of the
components.

3.1 Sequencing Jump (JP3)
The TPS54383EVM provides a 3-pin, 100-mil header and shunt for programming the TPS54383’s sequencing
function. Placing the JP3 shunt in the left position connects the sequence pin to BP and sets the TPS54383
controller to sequence Channel 2 prior to Channel 1 when Enable 2 is activated. Placing the JP3 shunt in the
right position connects the sequence pin to GND and sets the TPS54383 converter to sequence Channel 1 prior
to Channel 1 when Enable 1 is activated. Removing the JP3 shunt disables sequencing and allows Channel 1
and Channel 2 to be enabled independently.
3.2 Enable Jumpers (JP1 and JP2)
TPS54383EVM provides separate 3-pin, 100-mil headers and shunts for exercising the TPS54383 Enable
functions. When JP3 is removed placing the JP1 shunt in the left position connects EN1 to ground and turns on
Output 1 and placing the JP2 shunt in the left position connects EN2 to ground and turns on Output 2.
When the JP3 shunt is in the LEFT position, placing the JP2 shunt in the left position connects EN2 to ground
and turns on first Output 2 and then Output 1.
When the JP3 shunt is in the RIGHT position, placing the JP1 shunt in the left position connects EN1 to ground
and turns on first Output 1 and then Output 2.

Schematic
3.3.1 Input Voltage Monitoring (TP1 and TP2)
TPS54383EVM provides two test points for measuring the voltage applied to the module. This allows the
user to measure the actual module voltage without losses from input cables and connectors. 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.
3.3.2 Channel 1 Output Voltage Monitoring (TP3 and TP4)
TPS54383EVM provides two test points for measuring the voltage generated by the module. This allows the
user to measure the actual module output voltage without losses from output cables and connectors. All output
voltage measurements should be made between TP3 and TP4. To use TP3 and TP4, connect a voltmeter
positive terminal to TP3 and negative terminal to TP4. For Output ripple measurements, TP3 and TP4 allow a
user to limit the ground loop area by using the Tip and Barrel measurement technique shown in Figure 4-2. All
output ripple measurements should be made using the Tip and Barrel measurement.
3.3.3 Channel 1 Loop Analysis (TP5, TP6, TP7 and TP8)
TPS54383EVM contains a 51-Ω series resistor (R1) in the feedback loop to allow for matched impedance signal
injection into the feedback for loop response analysis. An isolation transformer should be used to apply a small
(30 mV or less) signal across R1 through TP6 and TP8. By monitoring the ac injection level at TP8 and the
returned ac level at TP6, the power supply loop response can be determined.
3.3.4 Channel 1 Switching Waveforms (TP9 and TP10)
TPS54383EVM provides a test point and a local ground connection (TP10) for the monitoring of the Channel 1
power stage switching waveform. Connect an oscilloscope probe to TP9 to monitor the switch node voltage for
Channel 1.
3.3.5 TPS54383 Device Ground (TP11)
TPS54383EVM provides a test point for the device ground. To measure the device pin voltages, connect the
ground of the oscilloscope probe to TP11.
3.3.6 Channel 2 Switching Waveforms (TP12 and TP13)
TPS54383EVM provides a test point and a local ground connection (TP13) for the monitoring of the Channel 1
power stage switching waveform. Connect an oscilloscope probe to TP12 to monitor the switch node voltage for
Channel 1.
3.3.7 Channel 2 Loop Analysis (TP14, TP15, TP16 and TP17)
TPS54383EVM contains a 51-Ω series resistor (R10) in the feedback loop to allow for matched impedance
signal injection into the feedback for loop response analysis. An isolation transformer should be used to apply a
small (30 mV or less) signal across R10 through TP14 and TP16. By monitoring the ac injection level at TP14
and the returned ac level at TP16, the power supply loop response can be determined.
3.3.8 Output Voltage Monitoring (TP18 and TP19)
TPS54383EVM provides two test points for measuring the voltage generated by the module. This allows the
user to measure the actual module output voltage without losses from output cables and connector losses. All
output voltage measurements should be made between TP18 and TP19. To use TP18 and TP19, connect a
voltmeter positive terminal to TP18 and negative terminal to TP19. For output ripple measurements, TP18 and
TP19 allow a user to limit the ground loop area by using the Tip and Barrel measurement technique shown in
Figure 4-2. All output ripple measurements should be made using the Tip and Barrel measurement.

Test Set Up
www.ti.com
4 Test Set Up
4.1 Equipment
4.1.1 Voltage Source
VIN: The input voltage source (VIN) should be a 0-15 V variable dc source capable of 5 ADC. Connect VIN to J1
as shown in Figure 4-2.
4.1.2 Meters
•
•
•
•
A1: 0-3 ADC, ammeter
V1: VIN, 0-15 V voltmeter
V2: VOUT1 0-6 V voltmeter
V3: VOUT2 0-4 V voltmeter
4.1.3 Loads
LOAD1: The Output1 Load (LOAD1) should be an electronic constant current mode load capable of 0-2 ADC at
5.0 V
LOAD2: The Output2 Load (LOAD2) should be an electronic constant current mode load capable of 0-2 ADC at
3.3 V
4.1.4 Oscilloscope
Oscilloscope: A digital or analog oscilloscope can be used to measure the ripple voltage on VOUT. The
oscilloscope should be set for 1-MΩ impedance, 20-MHz bandwidth, ac coupling, 1-μs/division horizontal
resolution, 10-mV/division vertical resolution for taking output ripple measurements. TP3 and TP4 or TP18 and
TP19 can be used to measure the output ripple voltages by placing the oscilloscope probe tip through TP3 or
TP18 and holding the ground barrel to TP4 or TP19 as shown in Figure 4-2. For a hands free approach, the loop
in TP4 or TP19 can be cut and opened to cradle the probe barrel. Using a leaded ground connection may induce
additional noise due to the large ground loop area.
4.1.5 Recommended Wire Gauge
VIN to J1: The connection between the source voltage, VIN and J1 of HPA241 can carry as much as 5 ADC. The
minimum recommended wire size is AWG #16 with the total length of wire less than 4 feet (2 feet input, 2 feet
return).
J2 to LOAD1: The power connection between J2 of HPA241 and LOAD1 can carry as much as 2 ADC. The
minimum recommended wire size is AWG #18, with the total length of wire less than 2 feet (1 foot output, 1 foot
return).
J3 to LOAD2: The power connection between J3 of HPA241 and LOAD2 can carry as much as 2 ADC. The
minimum recommended wire size is AWG #18, with the total length of wire less than 2 feet (1 foot output, 1 foot
return).
4.1.6 Other
Fan: This evaluation module includes components that can get hot to the touch, because this EVM is not
enclosed to allow probing of circuit nodes, a small fan capable of 200-400 lfm is recommended to reduce
component surface temperatures to prevent user injury. The EVM should not be left unattended while powered.
The EVM should not be probed while the fan is not running.

5.6 Light Load Operation (revision A PCB only)
Under light load operation the TPS54383 controller can enter a pulse skipping mode when the inductor current
falls below 800 mA. Under this mode of operation the output ripple voltage will increase. Table 5-1 shows the
typical output ripple over the range of light load currents.

6 EVM Assembly Drawings and Layout
The following figures (Figure 6-1 through Figure 6-6) show the design of the TPS54383EVM printed circuit
board. The EVM has been designed using a 4-Layer, 2-oz copper-clad circuit board 3.0” x 3.0” with all
components in a 1.15” x 2.15” active area on the top side and all active traces to the top and bottom layers
to allow the user to easily view, probe and evaluate the TPS54383 control device in a practical double-sided
application. Moving components to both sides of the PCB or using additional internal layers can offer additional
size reduction for space constrained systems.
