Introduction
This user's guide contains background information for the TPS55010 as well as support documentation for
the TPS55010EVM-009 evaluation module (PWR009). Included are the performance specifications, the
schematic, and the bill of materials for the TPS55010EVM-009.
1.1
Background
The TPS55010 dc/dc converter is designed to provide up to a 200-mA output from an input voltage source
of 4.5 V to 5.5 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 TPS55010 regulator. The switching frequency is externally set at a
nominal 350 kHz. Both high-side and low-side MOSFETs are incorporated inside the TPS55010 package
along with the gate drive circuitry. The low drain-to-source on-resistance of the MOSFETs allows the
TPS55010 to achieve good efficiency. The compensation components are external to the integrated circuit
(IC), and an external divider allows for an adjustable output voltage. Additionally, the TPS55010 provides
adjustable slow-start and undervoltage lockout inputs. The absolute maximum input voltage for the
TPS55010EVM-009 is 6 V.

Performance Specification Summary
A summary of the TPS55010EVM-009 performance specifications is provided in Table 2. Specifications
are given for an input voltage of VIN = 5 V and an output voltage of 5 V, unless otherwise specified. The
TPS55010EVM-009 is designed and tested for VIN = 4.5 V to 6 V. The ambient temperature is 25°C for all
measurements, unless otherwise noted.

Modifications
These evaluation modules are designed to provide access to the features of the TPS55010. Some
modifications can be made to this module.
1.3.1
Input Voltage Range
TPS55010EVM-009 can operate from an input voltage of 5 V or 3.3 V, nominally. For 3.3-V nominal input
voltage, remove R3 (allows the EVM to start up from lower input voltages), and change R9 to 511 kΩ
(changes switching frequency to 200 kHz).

1.3.2
Operating Frequency, Slow-Start, and UVLO
The operating frequency, slow-start time, and UVLO voltage can be adjusted. R9 sets the operating
frequency, C5 sets the slow-start time, and the resistor divider of R2 and R3 sets the UVLO start and stop
voltages. See the TPS55010 data sheet (SLVSAV0) for details on adjusting these parameters.
1.3.3
Zener Diode and Output Snubber
Under no-load conditions, VOUT can get as high as 15 V if output voltage limiting is not provided.
TPS55010EVM-009 provides a Zener diode (5.6 V nominal) in series with a resistor to limit the output
voltage at J2 to 6 V. The Zener diode presents a negligible load to the circuit with external loads above
approximately 3 mA at J2.
Placeholders for an R-C snubber are provided across the output rectifier. Although the snubber impacts
efficiency, it can be used to dampen the ringing across the rectifier.

Test Setup and Results
This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS55010EVM-009 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 TPS55010EVM-009 is provided with input/output connectors and test points as shown in Table 3. A
power supply capable of supplying 0.5 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. Test-point TP2 provides a place to monitor
the VIN input voltages with TP5 providing a convenient ground reference. TP10 is used to monitor the
output voltage with TP4 as the ground reference.

Board Layout
This section provides a description of the TPS55010EVM-009, board layout, and layer illustrations.
3.1
Layout
The board layout for the TPS55010EVM-009 is shown in Figure 8 through Figure 10. 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. A
basic set of layout guidelines include:
• Place the input capacitors close to the TPS55010 VIN and GND terminals.
• Arrange the transformer, input capacitors, and the regulated voltage capacitor in a manner to minimize
loop area.
• Connect the GND end of the analog control circuitry (COMP, VSENSE, RT/CLK, and SS pins) together
apart from the main power GND. Reference this analog GND trace/shape to the power GND
(PowerPAD™ IC package of TPS55010) at a single point.
• The PowerPAD™ package of the TPS55010 provides a means to remove heat from the device and
must be connected to the GND plane with multiple vias as shown in the TPS55010 data sheet,
SLVSAV0.
