Introduction

1 Introduction
The Texas Instruments TPS62050 and TPS62052 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.
The TPS6205xEVM is available as the TPS62050 adjustable version set to 3.3 V and the TPS62052 1.5-V fixed
version.
The TPS62050EVM can be easily set up to provide any output voltage between 0.7 V to 6 V (or Vin) by adjusting
the external resistor divider. Refer to the data sheet (SLVS432) for various fixed voltage options available for the
TPS6205x. The TPS6205x has an input voltage range between 2.7 V and 10 Vwith an output current up to 800
mA.
Any version of the TPS6205x can be evaluated by removing and replacing the IC on the EVM.

Evalulation with the TPS6205xEVM
2 Evalulation with the TPS6205xEVM
This section details the evaluation process and features of the EVM. For this purpose, a load is connected to the
output pins Vout and GND, which allows the load current to be adjusted between 0 mA and 800 mA.
For accurate output voltage and input voltage measurements, it is important to measure the voltage on the input
and output voltage terminals with avoltmeter connected directly to the input voltage or output voltage terminals.
This eliminates any measurement errors related to voltage drops along the input and output terminal wires
connected to the power supply or load.
2.1 Enable (EN) Jumper
This jumper is used to enable the device. Connecting the EN pin to ON enables the part. Connecting the EN pin
to OFF disables the device.
2.2 Synchronization (SYNC) Jumper
This jumper is used to choose between PWM and PFM/PWM modes of operation. Setting the jumper across
PWM forces the device into the low-noise fixed-frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) mode. Setting the
jumper across PWM/PFM enables the power save mode where the device enters apulse frequency modulation
mode (PFM) at light to medium load currents, which reduces quiescent current and switching frequency to a
minimum to achieve highest efficiency over the entire load current range.
Additionally an external clock between 600 kHz and 1200 kHz can be applied to pin 2 of J2 (SYNC) in order to
synchronize the converter to an external clock.
2.3 Power Good (PG)
The PG pin is an open drain output capable of sinking typically 1 mA. A pullup resistor is required to use the
PG. The pullup resistor should be placed between the Vout and PG. The PG pin becomes active high when the
output voltage exceeds typically 98.5% of its nominal value. Leave the PG pin unconnected when not used.
2.4 Low Battery Out (LBO)
The LBO pin is an open drain output which goes low when the voltage at the low battery input (LBI) falls below
the trip point of 1.21 V. An external pullup resistor which is placed between LBO and Vout is required to use the
LBO.

3 PCB Layout
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.
3.1 SLVP234 EVM Schematic and Bill of Materials
Figure 3-1 shows the SLVP234 EVM schematic diagram. The bill of materials for the TPS62050EVM and
TPS62052EVM is shown in Table 3-1. More details about the design and component selection for the dc-dc
converter can be found in the data sheet.
