Because the TPS7A8101 is adjustable, the EVM has been designed to provide several common output voltages which can be selected using an onboard jumper. The EVM can provide output voltages of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 2.8 V or 3.3 V using the jumper. Other output voltages can be evaluated but require changing the feedback resistors. 2 Setup This section describes the jumpers and connectors on the EVM as well as how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS7A8101EVM. 2.1 2.1.1 Input/Output Connector Descriptions J1 – VIN This is the positive input supply voltage. The connector for J1 is not populated on the TPS7A8101EVM. This footprint allows the mounting of an SMA-style connector for more accurate PSRR measurements. See the bill of materials (BOM) for the manufacturer and part number of the corresponding connector. 2.1.2 J2 – VOUT This is the output voltage. The connector for J2 is not populated on the TPS7A8101EVM. This footprint allows the mounting of an SMA-style connector for more accurate PSRR measurements. See the BOM for the manufacturer and part number of the corresponding connector. 2.1.3 J3 – VIN This is the positive connection to the input power supply. The power supply must be connected between J1 and J8 (GND). Twist the leads to the input supply, and keep them as short as possible. The input voltage must be between 2.2 V and 6.5 V. 2.1.4 J4 – VOUT This is the positive output voltage of the LDO. The output voltage of the TPS7A8101 is adjustable with feedback resistors. On the EVM, the output voltage is set using J6. 2.1.5 J5 – ENABLE This jumper is used to enable or disable the output of the TPS7A8101. Placing a shorting jumper between pins 1 and 2 (ON position) enables the TPS7A8101. Placing the shorting jumper between pins 2 and 3 (OFF position) disables the TPS7A8101. 2.1.6 J6 – Output Voltage Select This jumper is used to set the desired output voltage from the TPS7A8101. Placing a shorting jumper between the appropriate pins gives the corresponding outputs. The output voltage of the TPS7A8101EVM must only be changed when the TPS7A8101EVM is not powered. Installing and removing the jumper with the board powered can lead to undesired or unregulated output voltage 2 Short Pins VOUT (V) 1 and 2 3.3 3 and 4 2.8 5 and 6 2.5 7 and 8 1.8 TPS7A8101EVM Evaluation Module Copyright © 2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated SLVU600 – December 2011 Submit Documentation Feedback TPS7A8101 Device Operation www.ti.com 2.1.7 J7 and J8 – GND This is the return connection to the input power supply. Connect the power supply between J7 or J8 and J3 (VIN). Twist the leads to the input supply, and keep them as short as possible. The input voltage must be between 2.2 V and 6.5 V. 3 TPS7A8101 Device Operation This section provides information about the operation of the TPS7A8101EVM. 3.1 Test Procedure Ensure that the input power supply is off. Connect the positive input power supply to J3. Connect the input power return (ground) to J7. The TPS7A8101 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 7 V. The recommended maximum operating voltage is 6.5 V. The actual highest input voltage may be less than 6.5 V due to thermal conditions. See the Thermal Considerations Section 4 of this manual to determine the highest input voltage. Connect the desired load between J4 (positive lead) and J8 (negative or return lead). Configure jumper J6 for the desired output voltage. Turn on the input power supply. 3.2 Test Data Figure 1 through Figure 5 present typical performance curves for the TPS62060EVM. Actual performance data can be affected by measurement techniques and environmental variables; therefore, these curves are presented for reference and may differ from actual results obtained by some users. 3.2.1 PSRR Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the typical PSRR performance for the TPS7A8101EVM.

TPS7A8101 Transient Response 4 Thermal Guidelines This section provides guidelines for the thermal management of the TPS7A81xxDRBEVM board. 4.1 Thermal Considerations Thermal management is a key design component of any power converter and is especially important when the power dissipation in the LDO is high. To better help you design the TPS7A81xxDRB family into your application, use Equation 1 to approximate the maximum power dissipation at a particular ambient temperature: TJ = TA + Pd × θJA (1) where TJ is the junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, Pd is the power dissipation in the integrated circuit (IC) and θJA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. All temperatures are in degrees Celsius. The measured thermal resistance from junction to ambient for the TPS7A8101EVM has a typical value of 45.7°C/W. The recommended maximum operating junction temperature specified in the data sheet for the TPS7A8101 is 125°C. With this information, the maximum power dissipation can be found by using Equation 1. Table 1 shows the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the input of the TPS7A8101EVM and still provide the full 1 A of output current. Table 1 shows the input voltage versus the output voltage setting and two ambient temperatures (25°C and 85°C). The maximum input voltage shown provides the rated output current while keeping the junction temperature at or below the recommended 125°C. Table 1.

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 which meet ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. Components which have not been so designated are neither designed nor intended for automotive use; and TI will not be responsible for any failure of such components to meet such requirements.
