Background
The TPS5420 dc/dc converter is designed to provide up to a 2-A continuous, 3-A peak output from an
input voltage source of 5.5 V to 36 V. Rated input voltage and output current range for the evaluation
module is given in Table 1. This evaluation module is designed to demonstrate the small printed-circuitboard areas that may be achieved when designing with the TPS5420 regulator and does not reflect the
high input voltages that may be used when designing with this part. The switching frequency is internally
set at a nominal 500 kHz. The high-side MOSFET is incorporated inside the TPS5420 package along with
the gate drive circuitry. The low drain-to-source on resistance of the MOSFET allows the TPS5420 to
achieve high efficiencies and helps to keep the junction temperature low at high output currents. The
compensation components are provided internal to the integrated circuit (IC), whereas an external divider
allows for an adjustable output voltage. Additionally, the TPS5420 provides an enable input. The absolute
maximum input voltage is 36 V.

Modifications
The TPS5420EVM-175 is designed to demonstrate the small size that can be attained when designing
with the TPS5420. A few changes can be made to this module.
1.3.1
Output Voltage Set Point
To change the output voltage of the EVM, it is necessary to change the value of resistor R2. Changing the
value of R2 can change the output voltage above 1.25 V. The value of R2 for a specific output voltage can
be calculated using Equation 1.
1.221 V
R2 + 10 kW
V * 1.221 V
O
(1)
Table 3 lists the R2 values for some common output voltages. Note that VIN must be in a range so that
the minimum on-time is greater than 200 ns, and the maximum duty cycle is less than 87%. The values
given in Table 3 are standard values, not the exact value calculated using Equation 1.

Test Setup and Results
This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS5420EVM-175 evaluation
module. The section also includes test results typical for the TPS5420EVM-175 and covers efficiency,
output voltage regulation, load transients, loop response, output ripple, input ripple, and start-up.
2.1
Input / Output Connections
The TPS5420EVM-175 is provided with input/output connectors and test points as shown in Table 4. A
power supply capable of supplying 2 A should be connected to J1 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The
load should be connected to J3 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The maximum load current capability
should be 2 A. Wire lengths should 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.

Efficiency
The TPS5420EVM-175 efficiency peaks at load current of about 0.75 A, and then decreases as the load
current increases towards full load. Figure 1 shows the efficiency for theTPS5420EVM-175 at an ambient
temperature of 25°C. The efficiency is lower at higher ambient temperatures, due to temperature variation
in the drain-to-source resistance of the MOSFETs.

Powering Up
The TPS5420EVM-175 start-up waveforms are shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9. In Figure 8 the top trace
shows VIN whereas the bottom trace shows VOUT. VIN increases from 0 V toward 25 V. When the input
voltage reaches the internally set UVLO threshold voltage of 5.3 V, the slow-start sequence begins. The
internal reference begins to ramp up linearly at the internally set slow-start rate towards 1.221 V, and the
output ramps up toward the set voltage of 5 V. The output may be inhibited by using a jumper at JP1 to tie
ENA to GND. When the jumper is removed, ENA is released and the slow-start sequence begins as
shown in Figure 9. The top trace shows the ENA signal and the bottom trace shows VOUT. When the
ENA voltage reaches the enable-threshold voltage of 1.06 V, the start-up sequence begins as described
above.

Board Layout
This section provides a description of the TPS5420EVM-175 board layout and layer illustrations.
3.1
Layout
The board layout for the TPS5420EVM-175 is shown in Figure 10 through Figure 12. The top-side layer of
the TPS5420EVM-175 is laid out in a manner typical of a user application. The top and bottom layers are
2-oz. copper.
The top layer contains the main power traces for VIN, OUT, and VPHASE. Also on the top layer are
connections for the remaining pins of the TPS5420 and a large area filled with ground. The bottom layer
contains ground and some signal routing. The top and bottom and internal ground traces are connected
with multiple vias placed around the board including four vias directly under the TPS5420 device to
provide a thermal path from the PowerPAD™ land to ground.
The input decoupling capacitors (C1 and C4) and bootstrap capacitor (C3) are all located as close to the
IC as possible. In addition, the voltage set-point resistor divider components are also kept close to the IC.
The voltage divider network ties to the output voltage at the point of regulation, adjacent to the output
capacitor C3.

EVALUATION BOARD/KIT/MODULE (EVM)
WARNINGS, RESTRICTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
For Feasibility Evaluation Only, in Laboratory/Development Environments. Unless otherwise indicated, this EVM is not a finished
electrical equipment and not intended for consumer use. It is intended solely for use for preliminary feasibility evaluation in
laboratory/development environments by technically qualified electronics experts who are familiar with the dangers and application risks
associated with handling electrical mechanical components, systems and subsystems. It should not be used as all or part of a finished end
product.
Your Sole Responsibility and Risk. You acknowledge, represent and agree that:
1.
2.
3.
4.
You have unique knowledge concerning Federal, State and local regulatory requirements (including but not limited to Food and Drug
Administration regulations, if applicable) which relate to your products and which relate to your use (and/or that of your employees,
affiliates, contractors or designees) of the EVM for evaluation, testing and other purposes.
You have full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety and compliance of your products with all such laws and other applicable
regulatory requirements, and also to assure the safety of any activities to be conducted by you and/or your employees, affiliates,
contractors or designees, using the EVM. Further, you are responsible to assure that any interfaces (electronic and/or mechanical)
between the EVM and any human body are designed with suitable isolation and means to safely limit accessible leakage currents to
minimize the risk of electrical shock hazard.
Since the EVM is not a completed product, it may not meet all applicable regulatory and safety compliance standards (such as UL,
CSA, VDE, CE, RoHS and WEEE) which may normally be associated with similar items. You assume full responsibility to determine
and/or assure compliance with any such standards and related certifications as may be applicable. You will employ reasonable
safeguards to ensure that your use of the EVM will not result in any property damage, injury or death, even if the EVM should fail to
perform as described or expected.
You will take care of proper disposal and recycling of the EVM’s electronic components and packing materials.
Certain Instructions. It is important to operate this EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and environmental considerations per the
user guidelines. Exceeding the specified EVM ratings (including but not limited to input and output voltage, current, power, and
environmental ranges) may cause property damage, personal injury or death. If there are questions concerning these ratings please contact
a TI field representative prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied outside of the
specified output range may result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM and/or
interface electronics. 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 as long as the input and output are maintained at a normal ambient operating temperature. These components include
but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors which can be identified using the
EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during normal operation, please
be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch. As with all electronic evaluation tools, only qualified personnel knowledgeable
in electronic measurement and diagnostics normally found in development environments should use these EVMs.
Agreement to Defend, Indemnify and Hold Harmless. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold TI, its licensors and their representatives
harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, costs and liabilities (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or in
connection with any use of the EVM that is not in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This obligation shall apply whether Claims
arise under law of tort or contract or any other legal theory, and even if the EVM fails to perform as described or expected.
Safety-Critical or Life-Critical Applications. If you intend to evaluate the components for possible use in safety critical applications (such
as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, such as devices
which are classified as FDA Class III or similar classification, then you must specifically notify TI of such intent and enter into a separate
Assurance and Indemnity Agreement.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
