Introduction
1 Introduction
The TPS56221EVM-579 evaluation module (EVM) is a synchronous buck converter providing a fixed 1.0-V
output at up to 25 A from a 12-V input bus. 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 TPS56221 High-Current Synchronous Buck
Converter with integrated MOSFETs.
The TPS56221 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.

5.1.1 Voltage Source
VIN: The input voltage source (VIN) shall be a 0-V to 15-V variable DC source capable of supplying 4 ADC.
5.1.2 Meters
•
•
•
A1: Input current meter (0 ADC to 4 ADC).
V1: Input voltage meter (0 V to 15 V).
V2: Output voltage meter (0 V to 2 V).
5.1.3 Load
LOAD: Output load. Electronic load set for constant current or constant resistance mode, capable of 0 ADC to 25
ADC at 1.0 VDC.
5.1.4 Oscilloscope
For Output Voltage Ripple: Oscilloscope shall be an analog or digital oscilloscope set for AC coupled
measurement with 20-MHz bandwidth limiting. Use 20-mV/div vertical resolution, 1.0-µs/div horizontal resolution.
For Switching Waveforms: Oscilloscope shall be an analog or digital Oscilloscope set for DC coupled
measurement with 20-MHz bandwidth limiting. Use 2-V/div or 5-V/div vertical resolution and 1.0-µs/division
horizontal resolution.
5.1.5 Fan
The TPS56221EVM-579 Evaluation Module includes components that can get hot to touch when operating.
Because this evaluation module is not enclosed to allow probing of circuit nodes, a small fan capable of 200 lfm
to 400 lfm is recommended to reduce component temperatures when operating.
5.2 Recommended Wire Gauge
5.2.1 VIN to J1
The connection between the source voltage (VIN) and J1 of TPS56221EVM-579 can carry as much as 4 ADC of
current. The minimum recommended wire size is AWG #16 with the total length of wire less than 2 feet (1 foot
input, 1 foot return)
5.2.2 J2 to LOAD
The connection between the LOAD and J2 of TPS56221EVM-579 can carry as much as 25 ADC of current. The
minimum recommended wire size is 2xAWG #14 with the total length of wire less than 2 feet (1 foot input, 1 foot
return).
Note
J2 is a 4 position terminal jack using positions for each VOUT and GND. Each position is rated to
support 15 A of output current. When delivering more than 15 A of current, both VOUT and both GND
positions should be used.

1. Working at an ESD workstation, make sure that any wrist straps, bootstraps and mats are connected
referencing the user to earth ground before power is applied to the EVM. Wearing electrostatic smock and
safety glasses is also recommended.
2. Prior to connecting the DC input source, VIN, it is advisable to limit the source current from VIN to 4.0 A
maximum. Make sure VIN is initially set to 0 V and connected as shown in Figure 5-1.
3. Connect VIN to J1 as shown in Figure 5-1.
4. Connect ammeter A1 between VIN and J1 as shown in Figure 5-1.
5. Connect voltmeter V1 to TP1 and TP2 as shown in Figure 5-1.
6. Connect voltmeter V2 to TP3 and TP4 as shown in Figure 5-1.
7. Place the fan as shown in Figure 5-1 and turn it on, ensuring that the air blows directly across the evaluation
module.

7.1 Input Voltage Monitoring (TP1 and TP2)
TPS56221EVM-579 provides two test points for measuring the input voltage applied to the module. This allows
the user to measure the actual input module voltage without losses from input cables and connectors. To use
TP1 and TP2, connect a voltmeter positive input terminal to TP1 and negative input terminal to TP2.
7.2 Output Voltage Monitoring (TP3 and TP4)
TPS56221EVM-579 provides two test points for measuring the output voltage generated by the module. To use
TP3 and TP4, connect a voltmeter positive input terminal to TP3 and negative input terminal to TP4. For output
ripple monitoring, please refer to the tip and barrel measurement technique in Section 8.2.
7.3 Enable/Soft-start Monitoring (TP5)
TPS56221EVM-579 provides a test point for measuring the enable/soft-start voltage of the TPS56221 converter.
This test point can be monitored to observe the start-up calibration waveform, soft-start ramp or fault time-out
timing.
The enable/soft-start test point should not be actively driven from an external circuit, such as a logic output of
another power supply.
7.4 Power Good Monitoring (TP6)
TPS56221EVM-579 provides a test points for measuring the Power Good voltage of the TPS56221 converter.
7.5 Loop Response Testing (TP7, TP8, TP9 and TP10)
TPS56221EVM-579 provides four test points (two signals and two grounds) for measuring the control loop
frequency response. This allows the user to measure the actual module loop response without modifying the
evaluation board. See Section 8.3 for additional detail.
7.6 Switch Node Voltage Monitoring (TP11 and TP12)
TPS56221EVM-579 provides two test points for measuring the switch node. To monitor the switch node voltage,
set oscilloscope per Oscilloscope For Switching Waveforms in Section 5.1.4. Connect the oscilloscope probe to
TP11 and the ground lead of the probe to TP12. To monitor the voltage spike on switch node, please remove
the bandwidth limit on the oscilloscope and refer to the Application Report SLPA005 (Reducing Ringing Through
PCB Layout Techniques) for the measurement techniques.
