Background
The TPS40170 DC-DC synchronous buck controller is designed for high efficiency from an input voltage
source of 4.5 V to 60 V. The CSD18537NQ5A and CSD18563Q5A NexFET power MOSFETs are
designed to minimize losses in power conversion applications. Rated input voltage and output current
range for the evaluation module are given in Table 1. This evaluation module is designed to demonstrate
the TPS40170, CSD18537NQ5A, and CSD18563Q5A in a typical wide-input bus converter application
while providing a number of non-invasive test points to evaluate the performance and capabilities.
The control and gate drive circuitry is incorporated inside the TPS40170 package. The switching
frequency is externally set at a nominal 300 kHz with a resistor to ground at the RT pin to reduce the size
of output filter components. The hiccup current limit is externally set with an external resistor to ground at
the ILIM pin and uses voltage sensing across the low-side MOSFET. The compensation components are
external to the integrated circuit (IC), and an external resistor divider allows for an adjustable output
voltage. Additionally, the TPS40170 provides an adjustable undervoltage lockout with hysteresis through
an external resistor divider at the UVLO pin and adjustable soft-start with an external capacitor at the SS
pin. The TRK pin can also be used to have the output voltage track an external reference. Lastly, the
PGOOD pin is an integrated open drain output power good signal. The TPS40170EVM-597 has been
evaluated up to a maximum input of 40 V.
For more details on the TPS40170 (SLUS970), CSD18537NQ5A (SLPS391), and CSD18563Q5A
(SLPS444), refer to the device datasheets.

Test Setup
This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the EVM.
2.1
I/O Connection Summary
This EVM includes I/O connectors and test points as shown in Table 3. A power supply capable of
supplying at least 5.4 A must be connected to J1 through a pair of 16-AWG wires. The load must be
connected to J2 through a pair of 16-AWG wires. The maximum load-current capability must be at least 10
A. Wire lengths must be minimized to reduce losses in the wires. Test-point TP1 provides a place to
monitor the VIN input voltages with TP2 providing a convenient ground reference. TP3 is used to monitor
the output voltage with TP4 as the ground reference.

Test Results

www.ti.com
Synchronization Jumpers – J3, J4
TPS40170EVM-597 is designed with a synchronization mode jumper (J3) using a 3-pin, 0.1-inch spacing
header and shunt. Installing a shunt in J3 in the master position connects the M/S (master/slave) pin to
VIN and programs the master synchronization mode. The TPS40170 controller outputs a 50% duty cycle
3.3-V SYNC signal to the SYNC I/O connector (J4). The rising edge of the SYNC signal is synchronized to
the rising edge of the high-side FET (Q1).
Installing a shunt in J3 in the SLAVE 180 position connects the M/S pin to GND and programs Slave 180
synchronization mode. In this mode, the SYNC I/O connector is used as an input, and the TPS40170
controller synchronizes the rising edge of the high-side FET (Q1) to the falling edge of the SYNC I/O input.
Removing the shunt from J3 leaves the M/S pin floating and programs Slave 0 synchronization mode. In
this mode, the SYNC I/O connector is used as an input and the TPS40170 controller synchronizes the
turnon of the high-side FET (Q1) to the rising edge of the SYNC I/O input.
In SLAVE mode, SYNC frequency must be between 270 kHz and 330 kHz. If no signal is provided at the
SYNC I/O connector, switching returns to the RT programmed frequency of 300 kHz.
2.3
Tracking Jumpers – J7, J5
The TPS40170EVM-597 is designed with a tracking enable/disable jumper (J7) using a 3-pin, 0.1-inch
spacing header and shunt. Installing a shunt in J7 in the SIMULTANEOUS position connects the TRK pin
to TRK IN (J5) through a matched divider. This forces VOUT to track the lower of TRK IN or the
programmed output voltage (5 V).
Installing a shunt in J7 in the TRK DISABLE position connects TRK to VDD and disables the tracking
feature. J7 must be set in this position if no input is present on the TRK IN input.
2.4
Enable Jumper - J6
The TPS40170EVM-597 is designed with an Enable jumper (J6) using a 3-pin, 0.1-inch spacing header
and shunt. Installing a shunt in the J6 Enable position connects the Enable pin to VIN and enables the
TPS40170 controller. When the shunt is removed or installed in the Disable position, the ENABLE pin is
pulled to ground. This forces the output into a high-impedance state (approximately 22 kΩ to GND).
2.5
Power Good Jumper – J8
The TPS40170EVM-597 is designed with a Power Good mode jumper (J8) using a 3-pin, 0.1-inch spacing
header and shunt. Placing a shunt in J8 in the VOUT position connects Power Good to VOUT via a 100kΩ resistor.
Removing the shunt from the J8 position leaves the PGOOD and GND pins available to connect PGOOD
to the enable input of another EVM board with no active pullup.

Start Up
The start up waveforms are shown in Figure 9, Figure 10, and Figure 11. The input voltage for these plots
is 24 V and there is a resistive load on the output. In Figure 9 the input voltage is initially applied by
turning on the input supply. When the input reaches the undervoltage lockout threshold set by the resistor
divider at the UVLO pin, the start up sequence begins and the output ramps up toward the set value of 5
V.
In Figure 10 the input voltage is initially applied with EN held low. When EN is released, the start up
sequence begins and the output ramps up toward the set value of 5 V.
In Figure 11 the input voltage is initially applied with EN held low. An external voltage is supplied to VOUT.
When EN is released, the start up sequence begins and the internal reference ramps up from 0 V with the
internal soft-start. When the internal reference reaches the FB voltage the output begins ramping toward
the set value of 5 V.

Shutdown
The shutdown waveforms are shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13. The input voltage for these plots is 24 V
with a 10-A resistive load. In Figure 12 the input power supply is turned off. When the input falls below the
undervoltage lockout threshold set by the resistor divider at the UVLO pin, the TPS40170 shuts down and
the output falls to ground.
In Figure 13, the input voltage is held at 24 V and EN is shorted to ground disabling the internal regulators
of the TPS40170. The VBP and VDD outputs begin discharging. When the voltage of either one falls
below its UVLO, the TPS40170 stops switching and output voltage discharges to ground.

4.1
Layout
www.ti.com
The board layout for the EVM is shown in Figure 14 through Figure 19. The EVM has been designed
using a 4-layer, 3 inch x 3 inch, 2-oz copper-clad circuit board with all power components on the top to
allow the user to easily view, probe, and evaluate the TPS40170 control IC in a practical application.
Moving power components to both sides of the PCB or using additional internal layers can offer additional
size reduction for space-constrained systems.
Recommended layout guidelines are as follows:
• Ensure the layout allows a continuous flow of the power planes.
• Connect the 1-µF VIN bypass capacitor next to the VIN pin with a short return to the PGND pin.
• Connect the VBP bypass capacitor next to the VBP pin with a short return to the PGND pin as it
provides the instantaneous charge for the low-side FET gate driver.
• Keep the BOOT to SW bypass capacitor near both pins as it provides the instantaneous charge for the
high-side FET gate driver.
• Minimize the distance between the VIN node of the input ceramic capacitor and the drain pin of the
high-side control FET. Minimize the distance between the PGND node of the input ceramic capacitor
and the source pin of the low-side FET.
• Keep the HDRV, SW and LDRV traces as short as is practically possible as these carry high peak
currents during the turn on and turn off of the external FETs.
• Provide a direct and wide connection of the low-side FET's source to the GND of the VBP capacitor.
• When using an RC snubber, it should be kept close to the drain and the source of the low-side FET to
be most effective.
• Connect the ILIM bypass capacitor close to the ILIM pin with short return to the PGND pin for best
noise immunity.
• Connect the VDD bypass capacitor directly next to the VDD pin and AGND pin.
• Carefully connect the noise sensitive signals such as RT, SS, FB, and COMP as close to the IC as
practically possible and connect to AGND as shown.
• The AGND and PGND should be connected at a single point at the PowerPad.
• The PowerPad should be connected to any internal PCB ground planes using multiple vias directly
under the IC for best thermal performance.
