1 Introduction
1.1 Background
The TPS56921 dc/dc converter is designed to provide up to a 9-A output. The TPS56921 implements split-input
power rails with separate input voltage inputs for the power stage and control circuitry. The power stage
input (PVIN) is rated for 1.6 V to 17 V whereas the control input (VIN) is rated for 4.5 V to 17 V. The
TPS56921EVM-188 provides both inputs but is designed and tested using the PVIN connected to VIN. Rated
input voltage and output current range for the evaluation module are given in Table 1-1. This evaluation module
is designed to demonstrate the small printed-circuit-board areas that may be achieved when designing with
the TPS56921 regulator. The switching frequency is externally set at a nominal 500 kHz. The high-side and
low-side MOSFETs are incorporated inside the TPS56921 package along with the gate drive circuitry. The
low drain-to-source on-resistance of the MOSFET allows the TPS56921 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 TPS56921
provides adjustable slow start, tracking, and undervoltage lockout inputs. The absolute maximum input voltage is
20 V for the TPS56921EVM-188.

Introduction
1.3.1 Output Voltage Setpoint
The output voltage of the EVM is set either externally using a voltage divider or internally using the integrated
I2C™ interface. The external adjustment of the output voltage is set by the resistor divider network of R10 and
R11. R10 is fixed at 10 kΩ. To change the output voltage of the EVM, it is necessary to change the value of
resistor R11. Changing the value of R11 can change the output voltage in the range of 0.72 V to 1.48 V. The
value of R11 for a specific output voltage can be calculated using Equation 1.
R11=
10 kW ´ 0.8 V
VOUT - 0.8V
(1)
The output voltage can also be set using the optional VID control using the I2C interface. The EVM is designed
so that the J3 connector is compatible with the HPA665-001 USB2ANY interface. Using that control and
USB2ANY_GUI software allows the output voltage to be programmed to any of 77 preset voltages from 0.72
V to 1.48 V. See the TPS56921 datasheet for a complete description of the available codes. With the software
running and the cable attached, confirm the connection by clicking the "Read" button under "Firmware Revision".
The firmware revision number will be returned if the connection is good. Set up the interface by selecting "Speed
= _400kHz", "Address = _7Bits" and "Pull Ups = OFF" in the "I2C" section. Click on "Set I2C". In the "3.3V/5.0V"
section set "3.3V = ON" and "5.0V = OFF". Click on "Set", then click on "Get Status". "GOOD" should be
returned for both 3.3 V and 5.0 V. To communicate with the TPS56921EVM-188, in the "Single-Register" section
set "I2C Address = 34". In the "Register Address" field, enter the data byte for the voltage you wish to set. Ignore
the "Byte to Write" field. Click on "Write" to send the data.

1.3.4 Input Voltage Rails
The EVM is designed to accommodate different input voltage levels for the power stage and control logic. During
normal operation, the PVIN and VIN inputs are connected using a jumper across JP1. The single input voltage
is supplied at J2. If desired, these two input voltage rails may be separated by removing the jumper across JP1.
Two input voltages must then be provided at both J1 and J2.
2 Test Setup and Results
This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS56921EVM-188 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 TPS56921EVM-188 is provided with input/output connectors and test points as shown in Table 2-1. A power
supply capable of supplying 4 A must be connected to J2 through a pair of 20-AWG wires. The jumper across
JP1 must be in place. See Section 1.3.4 for split-input voltage rail operation. The load must be connected to
J4 through a pair of 20-AWG wires. The maximum load current capability must be 9 A. Wire lengths must
be minimized to reduce losses in the wires. Test-point TP3 provides a place to monitor the VIN input voltages
with TP4 providing a convenient ground reference. TP9 is used to monitor the output voltage with TP10 as the
ground reference.

2.9 Powering Up
Figure 2-10 and Figure 2-11 show the start-up waveforms for the TPS56921EVM-188. In Figure 2-10, the output
voltage ramps up as soon as the input voltage reaches the UVLO threshold as set by the R1 and R2 resistor
divider network. In Figure 2-11, the input voltage is initially applied and the output is inhibited by using a jumper
at JP2 to tie EN to GND. When the jumper is removed, EN is released. When the EN voltage reaches the
enable-threshold voltage, the start-up sequence begins and the output voltage ramps up to the externally set
value of 1.1 V. The input voltage for these plots is 12 V and the load is 1 Ω. Figure 2-12 shows a detailed view of
the output voltage ramp up.

3 Board Layout
This section provides a description of the TPS56921EVM-188 board layout and layer illustrations.
3.1 Layout
The board layout for the TPS56921EVM-188 is shown in Figure 3-1 through Figure 3-5. The top-side layer of the
EVM is laid out in a manner typical of a user application. The top, bottom, and internal layers are 2-oz. copper.
The top layer contains the main power traces for PVIN, VIN, VOUT, and VPHASE. Also on the top layer are
connections for the remaining pins of the TPS56921 and a large area filled with ground. The internal layer-1 is
dedicated to a power ground plane. the internal layer-2 contains an analog ground fill area. This analog ground
is used as a return for the I2C interface as well as for sensitive analog circuits for RT, SS, EN, COMP and
VSENSE. The analog ground is connected to the main power ground at one place to inhibit circulating currents.
This connection is made at the via near TP7. Internal layer-2 also contains additional fill areas for PVIN and
VOUT, as well as connections to the I2C interface connector at J3. The bottom layer contains a power ground
plane only. The top-side ground traces are connected to the bottom and internal ground planes with multiple vias
placed around the board including nine vias directly under the TPS56921 and 12 vias directly adjacent to the
TPS56921device to provide a thermal path from the top-side ground area to the internal layer-1 and bottom-side
ground planes.
The input decoupling capacitors (C1,C2, C3 and C4) and bootstrap capacitor (C8) are all located as close to
the IC as possible. Additionally, the voltage setpoint resistor divider components are 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 J4
output connector. For the TPS56921, an additional input bulk capacitor may be required, depending on the EVM
connection to the input supply.
