Introduction
www.ti.com
1 Introduction
The TPS562212 is a single, advanced emulated current mode (AECM) control, synchronous buck converter that
is able to deliver 2-A continuous output current and provides selectable Eco-mode operation or FCCM operation
and a selectable power-good indicator or external soft start by the configuring the MODE pin. Power sequencing
is possible by correctly configuring the Enable pin, power-good indicator, or external soft start. The device
implements an AECM control, which can get fast transient response with fixed frequency. The fast transient
response results in low voltage drop and fixed frequency brings a better jitter permanence and predictable
frequency for EMI design. The optimized internal compensation network minimizes the external component
counts and simplifies the control loop design over a wide voltage output range. Rated input voltage and output
current ranges for the evaluation module are given in Table 1-1.
The TPS562212EVM is a single, synchronous buck converter providing 3.3 V at 2 A from 4.2-V to 18-V input.
This user’s guide describes the TPS562212EVM performance.

3 Modifications
This evaluation module is designed to provide access to the features of the TPS562212. Some modifications can
be made to this module.
3.1 MODE Pin Configuration
The TPS562212 has a MODE pin that can offer two different states of operation under light load conditions, and
offer two options for the function of Pin 1.

Connect pin 1 to GND to get a better thermal performance if the PG was not used when PG
function was selected.
3.2 Output Voltage Setpoint
The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the FB pin. TI recommends using 1%
tolerance or better divider resistors. Referring to the application schematic of Figure 6-1, start with 10 kΩ or 20
kΩ for R9 and use Equation 1 to calculate R8. To improve efficiency at light loads, consider using larger value

input current are noticeable.

Use the recommended L1 and COUT combination of the higher and closest output rail for the unlisted output rails.
R8 = 10 kΩ and R9 = Float for VOUT = 0.6 V
Inductance values are calculated based on VIN=18 V, but they can also be used for other input voltages. Users can calculate their
preferred inductance value per the TPS562212 4.2-V-18-V Input, 2-A Synchronous Buck Converter in a SOT-5X3 Package Data
Sheet.
The COUT is the sum of nominal output capacitance. 22-μF, 0805, 10-V or higher specification capacitors are recommended .
The COUT_E is the effective value after derating. The value of L1·COUT_E should be within in the range.
R6 and C7 can be used to improve the load transient response and improve the loop-phase margin.
4 Test Setup
This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS562212EVM.
4.1 Input/Output Connections
The TPS562212EVM is provided with input/output connectors and test points as shown in Table 4-1. Figure 4-1
shows connectors and jumpers placement on TPS562212EVM board.
A power supply capable of supplying 2 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 maximum load current capability is 2 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.

Board Layout
5 Board Layout
This section provides a description of the TPS562212EVM, board layout, and layer illustrations.
5.1 Layout
The board layout for the TPS562212EVM is shown in Figure 5-1, Figure 5-2, and Figure 5-3. The top layer
contains the main power traces for VIN, VOUT, and ground. Also on the top layer are connections for the pins
of the TPS562212 and a large area filled with ground. Most of the signal traces are also located on the top
side. The input decoupling capacitors, C1, C2, and C3, are located as close to the IC as possible. The input
and output connectors, test points, and all of the components are located on the top side. The bottom layer is a
ground plane along with the switching node copper fill, signal ground copper fill and the feedback trace from the
point of regulation to the top of the resistor divider network. Both the top layer and bottom layer use 2-oz copper
thickness.
