Introduction
The TLV705xxxEVM-596 EVM helps design engineers to evaluate the operation and performance of the
TLV705xx family of linear regulators for possible use in their own circuit applications. This particular EVM
configuration contains a single linear regulator with internal thermal and current limit shutdowns, and
enable (disable) circuitry in an extremely small, 0.8-mm × 0.8-mm package. The regulator, including
external components, is capable of delivering up to 200 mA to the load depending on the input-output
power dissipation across the device. The TLV705xx does not require an input capacitor and the output
capacitor must only be 1 μF (effective minimum) for stability; however, for conservative design practice
that accounts for a wide variety of noisy environments and dynamic line/load conditions, a 1-μF capacitor
is installed at the input and output ports.

Setup
This section describes the jumpers and connectors on the EVM as well as how to properly connect, set
up, and use the TLV705xxxEVM-596.
2.1
Input / Output Connectors and Jumper Descriptions
J1: VIN
This connector is the input power-supply voltage connector. The positive input lead and ground return
lead from the input power supply should be twisted and kept as short as possible to minimize
electromagnetic interference (EMI) transmission. Additional bulk capacitance should be added between
J1 and J2 if the supply leads are greater than 6 in (15.24 cm) in length. For example, an additional
47-μF electrolytic capacitor connected from J1 to ground can improve the transient response of the
TLV70528 while eliminating unwanted ringing on the input as a result of long wire connections.
J2: GND
This is the ground-return connection for the input power supply.
J3: VOUT
This is the regulated output voltage connector.
J4: GND
This is the output ground-return connector.
JP1: EN
This jumper is the output enable. To enable the output, connect a jumper to short the VIN pin (pin 1) to
the EN center pin (pin 2). To disable the output, connect a jumper to short the EN pin to GND (pin 3).
2.2
Soldering Guidelines
Any solder re-work to modify the EVM for the purpose of repair or other application reasons must be
performed using a hot-air system to avoid damaging the integrated circuit (IC).
2.3
Equipment Setup
Follow these procedures to set up the test equipment properly.
• Turn off the input power supply after verifying that the output voltage is set to less than 5.5 V. Connect
the positive voltage lead from the input power supply to VIN, at the J1 connector of the EVM. Connect
the ground lead from the input power supply to GND at the J2 connector of the EVM.
• Connect a 0-mA to 200-mA load between the output (VOUT) at connector J3 and ground (GND) at
connector J4.
• Disable the output by jumpering JP1, the EN pin, to the GND pin.
3
Operation
Follow these guidelines to correctly operate the TLV705xxxEVM-596.
• Turn on the input power supply. For initial operation, it is recommended that the input power supply,
VIN – J1, be set to 3.8 V.
• Enable the output by reconnecting the jumper on JP1 from the EN pin to the VIN pin.
• Vary the respective loads and VIN voltages as necessary for test purposes.

Test Results
This section provides typical performance waveforms for the TLV70528EVM (with the 2.8-V version of the
TLV705xx device installed).
4.1
Turn-On Sequence
Figure 1 shows the turn-on/-off characteristic where VIN is pre-set to 5.0 V, the output drives a full load,
and the EN turn-on is stepped to 3.2 V (C2, white). The output soft start (C1, yellow) shows a monotonic
rise time of approximately 50 μs after a built-in delay of approximately 70 μs. The output voltage startup
ramp does not depend on the load.

Thermal Guidelines and Layout Recommendations

www.ti.com
Thermal Guidelines and Layout Recommendations
Thermal management is a key design component of any power converter, and is especially important
when the power dissipation in the LDO is high. Use Equation 1 to approximate the maximum power
dissipation for the particular ambient temperature.
TJ = TA + PD ? qJA
Where:
TJ = junction temperature
TA = ambient temperature
PD = power dissipation in the IC (in watts)
θJA = thermal resistance from junction to ambient
(1)
All temperatures are in degrees Celsius (°C).
The maximum silicon junction temperature, TJ, must not be allowed to exceed +150°C. The layout design
must use copper trace and plane areas effectively as thermal sinks, in order not to allow TJ to exceed the
absolute maximum ratings under all temperature conditions and voltage conditions across the application.
Designers should carefully consider the thermal design of the PCB for optimal performance over
temperature. For this EVM, Figure 4 shows that the PCB top ground plane has six, 6-mil (0,1524-mm)
thermal via connections to the bottom side copper ground plane to dissipate heat. The PCB is a two-layer
board with 2-oz copper on top and bottom layers. The YFF package drawing can be found at the Texas
Instruments web site in the TLV70528 LDO product folder.
Table 1 shows the Dissipation Ratings table of the TLV70528 data sheet for comparison with the thermal
resistance, θJA, calculated for this EVM layout to show the wide variation in thermal resistances for given
copper areas. The High-K value is determined using a standard JEDEC High-K (2s2p) board having
dimensions of 3-inch x 3-inch with 1-ounce internal power and ground planes and 2-ounce copper traces
on top and bottom of the board.

The thermal resistance for the TLV705xxxEVM-596, θJA, is the measured value for this particular layout
scheme. The maximum power dissipation is proportional to the volume of copper volume connected to the
package.

equipment in other environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense
will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.
EVM Warnings and Restrictions
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of –0.3 V to 6.0 V and the output voltage range of +0.7 V to
+4.8 V.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are
questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to the
EVM. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load
specification, please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than +125°C. The EVM is designed to
operate properly with certain components above +125°C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These
components include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors.
These types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement
probes near these devices during operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
