Modifications
The printed-circuit board (PCB) for this EVM is designed to accommodate some modifications by the user.
Additional input and output capacitors can be added. Finally, the loop response of the IC can be
measured.
1.3.1
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.
1.3.2
Loop Response Measurement
The loop response of the TPS62740EVM-186 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 an 0402-sized resistor. 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. With these changes, an ac signal
(10-mV, peak-to-peak amplitude recommended) can be injected into the control loop across the added
resistor. Details of measuring the control loop of DCS-Control devices are found in SLVA465.

Common Efficiency Measurement Errors with Ultra-Low Iq Devices
Efficiency is a common measurement for a power supply. With an ultra-low quiescent current device, such
as the TPS62740, measurement errors can have a large impact on the measured efficiency, especially at
very low load currents (< 100 µA).
3.1
Efficiency Measurement Setup
To accurately measure the efficiency of the TPS62740EVM-186, use the setup described in SLVA236
Figure 6. The 'Additional Input Capacitor' referred to in that app note is not needed as C5 is already
included on the TPS62740EVM-186. Any additional input capacitance is not recommended as it incurs
increased leakage on the input which lowers the measured efficiency.
When measuring efficiency through the setup in SLVA236, special care must be taken to remove the
current consumed by the measurement instruments from the efficiency calculations. Such measurement
instruments typically include the input voltage and output voltage multimeters as well as the input power
supply's remote sense lines (if it has this capability). The current into these points affects the measured
efficiency at very light loads. Two possible methods to overcome this are: measuring the current into these
points (measure the current into the multimeters and/or remote sense lines) and then subtracting this
current from the efficiency calculation or simply removing these instruments from the test setup. At very
light load currents, it is typically best to remove the remote sense lines of the input power supply and then
measure the current into the input and output voltage multimeters to get the most accurate efficiency
measurement.

3.2
Pull-Up and Pull-Down Resistors
In addition to the input capacitor and remote sense lines noted in Section 3.1, any pull-up or pull-down
resistors can draw significant current and affect the measured efficiency. For example, if the VSEL2 pin
were pulled up to the input voltage with a 1-MΩ resistor and the pin were tied low through JP4, this would
draw an extra 3.6 µA from the input source at a 3.6-V input voltage. This would greatly affect the efficiency
at very light loads. For this reason, no pull-up or pull-down resistors have been used on the
TPS62740EVM-186. The final application circuit should ensure that all digital inputs to the TPS62740 are
terminated either high or low and not left floating, per the device data sheet.

TPS62740EVM-186 Test Results
The TPS62740EVM-186 was used to take most of the data in the TPS62740 data sheet, SLVSB02. The
only difference is the inductor used. This EVM was designed for the smallest solution size and uses a
0805-size inductor. The data sheet inductor achieves best efficiency but is 3 x 3 mm in size.

changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
