Modifications
To aid user customization of the EVM, the board was designed with devices having 0603 or larger
footprints. Actual implementations may occupy less space. Resistor R6 may be removed to measure
current through the LED.

Input/Output Connections
The connection points and jumper positions are described in the following paragraphs.
2.1.1
J1 – VIN
This header is the positive connection for the input power supply. Twist the leads to the input supply and
keep them as short as possible. The input voltage must remain within the limits specified in Table 1.
2.1.2
J2 – Sense + and This header is low current sense lines that monitor Vin at the input capacitor.
2.1.3
J3 – GND
This header is the return connection to the input power supply.
2.1.4
J4 – LED Out
This header is voltage out of the converter to the LED
2.1.5
JP1 – Enable
This jumper connects the enable pin of the TPS63030 to either ON (enabling the TPS63030) or OFF
(disabling the TPS63030). The jumper must be installed in one position only. Do not leave JP1 open.
WARNING
This EVM WLED shines brightly. Protective eyewear and use of the
diffuser cover is recommended.

Design Procedure for Divider Network
The TPS63030 feedback voltage (FB) is set to 0.50 V. If this were used for current regulation, the power
dissipation of the sense resistor will be high. To reduce power dissipation on the current sense resistor
R3, a reference voltage of 2.5 V is summed with it, thereby reducing Vsense voltage and power dissipation
in R3.
The first step is to choose the LED operating current and Vsense voltage, which determines the value for
R3. There is a trade off between power dissipation on R3 and accuracy of regulation point. As Vsense is
increased, the current regulation accuracy improves; the maximum voltage is 0.50 V. As Vsense is
decreased, the power dissipation is reduced, but the error due to Vref on resistors R1 and R2 increases.
The EVM ILED is set to 350 mA with a Vsense voltage of 0.178 V.
Vsense = ILED ´ R3 = 350 mA ´ 510 mW = 0.178 V
VR1 = VFB - Vsense = 0.50 V - 0.178 V = 0.322 V
VR 2 = VREF - VFB = 2.5 V - 0.50 V = 2.00 V
Choose divider current of 0.1 mA.
R1 =
0.322 V

= 3.22 kW

Standard value is 3.24 kΩ.
R2 =
2.00 V
VR 2

= 20 kW
0.1 mA 0.1 mA
Standard value is 20 kΩ.
Output current can be increased or decreased by changing R3. For 700-mA output current, decrease R3
to 250 mΩ. Changes in the reference voltage, R1 or R2, also can be used to change the LED current.

Board Layout
This section provides the board layout of the TPS63030EVM-658. A 2-layer PCB with a number of vias
near the LED was used to help with the thermal dissipation of the WLED. Users must carefully design
their system to handle the thermal challenges raised by the WLEDs.
Board layout is critical for all switch-mode power supplies. See the data sheet (SLVS893) for specific
layout and routing guidelines.

FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSES
ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15 of FCC rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other environments may
cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may
be required to correct this interference.
EVM Warnings and Restrictions
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V and the output voltage range of 3 V to 5 V .
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are questions
concerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM.
Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification,
please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 80°C. The EVM is designed to operate
properly with certain components above 80°C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are
not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of devices can be identified
using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation,
please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
