TPS62065/67EVM-347 Assembly Drawings and Layout
Figure 12 through Figure 16 show the design of the TPS62065/67EVM-347 printed circuit boards. This
EVM has been designed using a four-layer, 1-ounce copper-clad PCB (1.5" x 1.8") with all components in
an active area on the top side of the board. All active traces to the top and bottom layers to allow the user
to easily view, probe, and evaluate the TPS62065/67 control ICs in a practical application environment.
Moving components to both sides of the PCB or using additional internal layers can offer additional size
reduction for space-constrained systems.
NOTE: Board layouts are not to scale. These figures are intended to show how the board is laid out;
they are not intended to be used for manufacturing TPS62065/67EVM-347 PCBs.
