Introduction
This user's guide contains background information for the TPS5432 as well as support documentation for
the TPS5432EVM-116 evaluation module (PWR116). Also included are the performance specifications,
the schematic, and the bill of materials for the TPS5432EVM-116.
1.1
Background
The TPS5432 dc/dc converter is designed to provide up to a 3-A output from an input voltage source of
2.95 V to 6 V. Rated input voltage and output current range for the evaluation module are given in
Table 1. This evaluation module is designed to demonstrate the small, printed-circuit-board areas that may
be achieved when designing with the TPS5432 regulator. The switching frequency is internally set at a
nominal 700 kHz. The both high-side and low-side MOSFETs are incorporated inside the TPS5432
package along with the gate drive circuitry. The low drain-to-source on-resistance of the MOSFETs allows
the TPS5432 to achieve high efficiencies and helps keep the junction temperature low at high output
currents. The compensation components are external to the integrated circuit (IC), and an external divider
allows for an adjustable output voltage. Additionally, the TPS5432 provides adjustable slow start and
undervoltage lockout inputs. The absolute maximum input voltage is 7 V for the TPS5432EVM-116.

Modifications
These evaluation modules are designed to provide access to the features of the TPS5432. Some
modifications can be made to this module.
1.3.1
Output Voltage Set Point
The voltage divider of R6 and R7 is used to set the output voltage of the EVM. The 49.9 Ω resistor R5 is
provided as an aid to check the loop response of the circuit. To change the output voltage of the EVM, it is
necessary to change the value of resistor R7 while leaving R6 set at 10.0 kΩ. Changing the value of R7
can change the output voltage above the reference voltage, 0.808 V. The value of R7 for a specific output
voltage can be calculated using Equation 1.
R6 × VREF
R7 =
VOUT - VREF
(1)
Table 3 lists the R7 values for some common output voltages. Note that VIN must be in a range so that the
minimum on-time is greater than 60 ns, and the maximum duty cycle is less than 95.8%. Higher duty
cycles are possible, but may result in uneven switching behavior. The values given in Table 3 are
standard values, not the exact value calculated using Equation 1.

Be aware that changing the output voltage can affect the loop response. It may be necessary to modify
the compensation components. See the data sheet (SLVSB89) for details.
1.3.2
Slow-Start and UVLO
The slow-start time and UVLO voltage may also be adjusted. C3 sets the slow-start time and the resistor
divider of R1 and R2 sets the UVLO start and stop voltages. To use the external UVLO function, ensure
that shunts are installed across JP1 and JP2. See the TPS5432 (SLVSB89) data sheet for details on
adjusting these parameters.

Test Setup and Results
This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS5432EVM-116 evaluation
module. The section also includes test results typical for the evaluation module and covers efficiency,
output voltage regulation, load transients, loop response, output ripple, input ripple, and start-up.
2.1
Input/Output Connections
The TPS5432EVM-116 is provided with input/output connectors and test points as shown in Table 4. A
power supply capable of supplying 1.5 A must be connected to J1 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The
load must be connected to J2 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The minimum load current capability must
be 3 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. TP12 is used to monitor
the output voltage with TP13 as the ground reference.

Board Layout
This section provides a description of the TPS5432EVM-116, board layout, and layer illustrations.
3.1
Layout
The board layout for the TPS5432EVM-116 is shown in Figure 13 through Figure 15. The top-side layer of
the EVM 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, VOUT, and VPHASE. The top layer also has
connections for the remaining pins of the TPS5432, and a large area filled with ground. The bottom layer
contains a ground plane. The top and bottom and internal ground traces are connected with multiple vias
placed around the board including four vias directly under the TPS5432 device to provide a thermal path
from the top-side ground area to the bottom-side ground plane.
The input decoupling capacitors (C1 and C2) and bootstrap capacitor (C6) 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, the copper VOUT trace at
the output connector (J2). For the TPS5432, an additional input bulk capacitor may be required,
depending on the EVM connection to the input supply. The sensitive analog returns for C3, C4, C5 and R7
are connected to a dedicated ground area on the top side. This ground area fill is connected to the power
ground area fill by a wide trace routed close to the IC. Connecting the two ground areas at a single point
eliminates circulating currents.
