TPS62175 Buck Converter Evaluation Module User's
Guide
ABSTRACT
This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the Texas Instruments TPS62175
evaluation module (EVM). This EVM is designed to help the user easily evaluate and test the operation and
functionality of the TPS62175. The EVM converts a 4.75-V to 28-V input voltage to a regulated 3.3-V output
voltage that delivers 500 mA. This user’s guide includes setup instructions for the hardware, a printed-circuit
board layout for the EVM, a schematic diagram, a bill of materials, and test results for the EVM.

1 Introduction
The TPS62175 is a 500-mA, synchronous, step-down converter in a 2x3-mm, 10-pin WSON package. Both fixed
and adjustable output voltage units are available.
1.1 Background
The TPS62175EVM-098 (PWR098-001) uses the TPS62175 adjustable version and is set to a 3.3-V output. The
EVM operates with full-rated performance with an input voltage between 4.75 V and 28 V.

1.3 Modifications
The printed-circuit board (PCB) for this EVM is designed to accommodate both the fixed and adjustable voltage
versions of this integrated circuit (IC). Additional input and output capacitors can also be added. Finally, the loop
response of the IC can be measured.
1.3.1 Fixed Output Voltage Operation
U1 can be replaced with the fixed-voltage version of the IC for evaluation. For fixed-voltage version operation,
replace R2 with a 0-Ω resistor and remove R1.
1.3.2 Input and Output Capacitors
C3 is provided for an additional input capacitor. This capacitor is not required for proper operation but can be
used to reduce the input voltage ripple.
C4 and C6 are provided for additional output capacitors. These capacitors are not required for proper operation
but can be used to reduce the output voltage ripple and to improve the load transient response. The total output
capacitance must remain within the recommended range in the data sheet for proper operation.
1.3.3 Loop Response Measurement
The loop response of the TPS62175EVM-098 can be measured with two simple changes to the circuitry. First,
install a 10-Ω resistor across the pads in the middle of the back of the PCB. The pads are spaced to allow
installation of 0805- or 0603-sized resistors. Second, cut the short section of trace between the via on the VOS
pin and the output capacitor C2. This change is shown in Figure 1-1. With these changes, an ac signal (10-mV,
peak-to-peak amplitude recommended) can be injected into the control loop across the added resistor.

Setup
2 Setup
This section describes how to properly use the TPS62175EVM-098.
2.1 Input/Output Connector Descriptions
J1 – VIN
Positive input connection from the input supply for the EVM.
J2 – S+/S-
Input voltage sense connections. Measure the input voltage at this point.
J3 – GND
Return connection from the input supply for the EVM.
J4 – VOUT
Output voltage connection.
J5 – S+/S-
Output voltage sense connections. Measure the output voltage at this point.
J6 – GND
Output return connection.
J7 – PG/GND
The PG output appears on pin 1 of this header with a convenient ground on pin 2.
JP1 – EN
EN pin input jumper. Place the supplied jumper across ON and EN to turn on the IC. Place the jumper across OFF
and EN to turn off the IC.
JP2 – SLEEP
SLEEP pin input jumper. Place the supplied jumper across ON and SLEEP to activate SLEEP mode. Place the
jumper across OFF and SLEEP to activate normal mode.
JP3 – PG Pullup
Voltage
PG pin pullup voltage jumper. Place the supplied jumper on JP3 to connect the PG pin pullup resistor to Vout.
Alternatively, the jumper can be removed and a different voltage can be supplied on pin 1 to pull up the PG pin to a
different level. This externally applied voltage must remain below 7 V.
2.2 Setup
To operate the EVM, set jumpers JP1 through JP3 to the desired positions per Section 2.1. Connect the input
supply to J1 and J3 and connect the load to J4 and J6.
