EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 2.8 V and 5.5 V, and the
output voltage range of 2.8 V and 5.5 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
60°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 60°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.

Chapter 1
The TPS211xA EVM is an evaluation module for the Texas Instruments
TPS211xA family of two-input, one-output power multiplexers. These
multiplexers enable seamless transition between two power supplies, each
operating at 2.8 V–5.5 V and delivering up to 1 A. EVM configurations are
available for the TPS2110A through TPS2115A. Refer to Table 3−1, the
schematic, and the bill of materials in this user’s guide to distinguish between
these configurations.
The EVM has test points for convenient access to all critical node voltages,
potentiometers for adjusting the current limit and the auto-switching voltage
sense thresholds, headers for selecting the manual/auto-switching operating
modes, and headers for selecting the output hold-up capacitance.

Setting Up the EVM
2.1 Setting Up the EVM
The user is encouraged to read the applicable TPS211xA data sheet before
using the EVM.
The following test equipment is recommended:
- Storage oscilloscope
- Current probe
- Two adjustable power supplies, 0 V – 6 V @ 2−A
- Volt−Ohm meter
- A passive or active load
Figure 2−1 shows the EVM test configuration.

RL
V2
2.2 Current-Limit Adjustment
Potentiometer R4 controls the resistance RILIM that sets the TPS211xA current
limit threshold. Adjusting R4 clockwise increases the current limit threshold by
decreasing RILIM. The current limit threshold is 250/RILIM for the TPS2110A,
TPS2112A, and TPS2114A and 500/RILIM for the TPS2111A, TPS2113A, and
TPS2115A.
To measure the resistance RILIM, connect an ohmmeter between test points
TP4 and GND. The measurement should be made with the IN1 and IN2
supplies off. To ensure accurate in-circuit resistance measurements, the
ohmmeter must apply no more than 0.5 V across the resistor.
2-2
Manual Switching Mode (TPS2110/1/4/5A Only)
2.3 Manual Switching Mode (TPS2110/1/4/5A Only)
Potentiometer R2 and header J4 do not affect the operation of the manual
switching mode.
Some products like digital cameras and hand-held devices that receive power
from an internal battery or from a docking station can take advantage of the
manual-switching feature. The TPS2110/1/4/5A digital control input, D1, can
directly sense the presence of the docking station and connect the load to the
appropriate power source.
2.3.1
Configuring the TPS2110/1A for Manual Switching
To place the device into manual switching mode, short header J1. The logic
level on the D1 pin now determines which input is selected. On the EVM,
header J2 controls the D1 pin. If J2 is left open, then D1 is internally pulled high
and IN1 is selected. If J2 is shorted, then D1 is pulled low and IN2 is selected.
2.3.2
Configuring the TPS2114/5A for Manual Switching
To place the device into manual switching mode, short header J2. The logic
level on the D1 pin determines which input is selected. On the EVM, header
J3 controls the D1 pin. If J3 is left open, then D1 is internally pulled high and
IN1 is selected. If J3 is shorted, then D1 is pulled low and IN2 is selected.
2.4 Automatic Switching Modes
All EVMs support Mode 1 automatic switching. Mode 2 automatic switching is
supported by the TPS2110A–TPS2113A EVMs only.
2.4.1
Mode 1 Automatic Switching
OUT connects to the higher of IN1 and IN1 in Mode 1 automatic switching.

A manufacturer can provide a secondary battery pack option to extend the
product run time with Mode 1 automatic switching. The TPS211xA cycles
between the primary and secondary batteries until both batteries are drained.

2.4.2
Mode 2 Automatic Switching (TPS2110/1/2/3A Only)
In Mode 2 automatic switching, OUT connects to IN1 if the voltage at IN1 is
sufficiently high; otherwise, OUT connects to the higher of IN1 and IN2. The
threshold at which IN1 is selected corresponds to approximately 0.8 V at test
point TP3. The corresponding value of the IN1 voltage depends upon the
setting of potentiometer R2. Adjusting R2 clockwise increases the IN1
selection threshold voltage.
Refer to Table 2−2 to configure the EVM for Mode 2 automatic switching.

A manufacturer can provide a secondary battery pack option to extend the
product run time with Mode 2 automatic switching. The TPS2110A–TPS2113A
drains the primary battery at IN1 and automatically switches to the secondary
battery at IN2.
2.5 Output Voltage Holdup
Headers J5–J8 select the output holdup capacitance.
The output voltage drops out for 60 µs (max) whenever the TPS211xA
switches between the IN1 and IN2 supplies. Some capacitance at the
TPS211xA output is necessary to prevent the output voltage from dropping too
much during the supply switchover. Excessive voltage drop can cause a
system to reset or lose data.
2.6 Switch Status (TPS2112/3/4/5A Only)
The switch status output can be monitored at the positive terminal of header
J1. A switch status output equal to logic 1 corresponds to an IN2 switch that
is on.

Layout Considerations
4.1 Layout Considerations
The IN1, IN2, and OUT pins of the TPS211xA can carry up to 1 A, so traces
to these pins should be of suitable length and width to minimize the voltage
drop to the load. Locate the 0.1 µF bypass capacitors close to the IN1, IN2, and
GND pins of the TPS211xA.
