The EVM is designed to start up from a single supply; so, no additional bias voltage is required for start up. The module uses the TPS56121 High-Current Synchronous Buck Converter with integrated MOSFETs. The TPS56121 integrates TI’s high performance controller technology with TI’s industry leading MOSFET technology in a standard QFN package to meet the demands of modern, high-current, and space constrained applications.
