TPS84259EVM-001

SLVU748 – August 2012 Using the TPS84259: Negative Output Voltage, up to 15-W, Integrated Power Solution EVM Introduction The TPS84259EVM-001 Evaluation Module is designed as an easy-to-use platform that facilitates an extensive evaluation of the features and performance of the Integrated Power Solution (IPS) device. This guide provides information on the correct usage of the EVM and an explanation of the numerous test points on the board. Description The EVM features a TPS84259 device configured for operation from a 4.5 V to 40 V input supply. The TPS84259 is a non-synchronous, buck-boost (negative output) converter optimized for output voltages between -3 V and -17 V. The TPS84259 operates at a fixed frequency of typically 800 kHz. The output voltage can be set to one of four popular values by using a simple configuration jumper. The EVM can supply up to 2 A of output current depending on the input and output voltage (See Figure 1). A minimal amount of input and output capacitance is used on the board. Component pads are provided for additional input and output capacitors if desired. Test points are provided that allow measurement of efficiency, power dissipation, input ripple, output ripple, line and load regulation, soft-start behavior, transient response, and UVLO behavior. The EVM uses a recommended PCB layout that maximizes thermal performance and minimizes output ripple and noise. Getting Started The host power supply is connected to the EVM at terminal block TB1. The VIN and GND terminals are clearly marked. The terminal block can accept up to number 16 AWG wire. For a complete evaluation, the host supply should be adjustable up to 40 V and be capable of delivering at least 3 A of current. The output of the EVM is presented to terminal block TB2. An electronic or resistive load can be connected to the block. Input and output voltage test points are provided near the terminal blocks. These test points are intended to be used as voltage monitoring points where voltmeters can be connected to measure VIN and VOUT. Do not use these test points as the input supply or output load connection points. The PCB traces connecting to the test points are not designed to support high currents. Before applying power, make certain that the VOUT SELECT (J3) jumper is present and properly positioned for the intended output voltage. Always remove power before changing the jumper settings. Once the jumper setting has been confirmed, set the host input supply to a voltage level between 4.5 V to 40 V, making sure that the sum of VIN + |VOUT| does not exceed 50 V. See Table 1 for the maximum input voltages for the four preset VOUT settings. Turn the host supply ON and then confirm that the selected output voltage is obtained. Table 1.

A description of each test point is given in the following text. VIN –VOUT J1 (VIN) J2 (–VOUT) SS INH / UVLO GND PH Input voltage monitoring point. Connect DVM to this point for efficiency measurements. Negative output voltage monitoring point. Connect DVM to this point for efficiency, line regulation, and load regulation measurements. Connect an oscilloscope probe with a short grounding tip to this pair of holes to measure input ripple voltage. Connect an oscilloscope probe with a short grounding tip to this pair of holes to measure output ripple voltage and transient response. The voltage on the soft-start capacitor can be monitored here. Ground this terminal to Inhibit power conversion via an on-board level-shifter. When open, the voltage on this pin is the voltage of the UVLO resistor divider network. Ground points for meters and oscilloscope probes. A via test point for monitoring the Phase pin (Switching Node) of the device with an oscilloscope. This test point can be used to measure the switching frequency of the regulator. Only a x10 oscilloscope probe should be used to monitor this point. The operation of the device can be affected by the stray capacitance of conventional cables or x1 probes. Operation Notes The UVLO threshold of the factory-stock EVM is approximately 4.5 V. The input voltage must be above the UVLO threshold before power conversion begins. The UVLO threshold is set by resistors R6 and R7. See the data sheet (SLVSBA0) for information on setting the UVLO voltage. When the input voltage rises above the UVLO threshold, power conversion begins and the output voltage will ramp to its final value in approximately 10 ms. If desired, this soft-start interval can be increased by adding capacitance at location C4 on the bottom side of the EVM. This location is not populated on the factory-stock EVM. The switching frequency of the factory-stock EVM is set to 800 kHz (typ) by populating resistor R8 with a 0-Ω resistor. The switching frequency can be changed to 500 kHz by changing R8 to 93.1 kΩ. See the datasheet for switching frequency limits. The CLK input pin (pin 31) has not been brought out to a test point on the factory-stock EVM. The TPS84259 is not designed to endure a sustained short circuit on its output. It survives momentary shorts (< 5 seconds), but sustained short circuits may cause permanent damage to the device. The maximum output current is dependent on the input and output voltage. Figure 1 shows the output current limits for four common output voltages over the input voltage range. 2 Using the TPS84259: Negative Output Voltage, up to 15-W, Integrated Power Solution EVM Copyright © 2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated SLVU748 – August 2012 Submit Documentation Feedback www.ti.com Maximum Output Current Figure 1.
