Setup
1 Setup
Figure 1-1 shows a typical setup with the EVM. The VIN power terminal block (J1) is used for connection to the
host input supply and the VOUT power terminal block (J4) is used for connection to the load.
1.1 Test Points
The test points on the top of the board can be used for connecting to the input and output of the EVM. Table 1-1
describes each test point.
Table 1-1. Test Point Descriptions
Test Point(1)
VINS+
Sense line for measuring the input voltage. Not meant to be used to power the device.
VINS-
Ground test point located near the ground terminal of the high frequency bypass capacitor. Meant
to be connected to the ground sense line for VIN, but can be used in place of a general ground test
point.
VOUTS+
Sense line test point for the output voltage. Do not connect to an output load.
VOUTS-
Ground test point located near the ground terminal of the output capacitors. Meant to be connected
to the ground sense line for VOUT, but can be used in place of a general ground test point.
GND
Test points for ground connection. Not meant to be used as a ground connection for the input
power supply.
EN
Input voltage scope monitor. Connect an oscilloscope probe to this set of points to measure input
ripple voltage.
PGOOD
This test point is connected to the PGOOD pin from the IC. This test point is an open-drain output
of the PGOOD pin. In this EVM configuration, the pin is pulled up to VOUT by R4.
EN
SYNC
VCC
(1)
Description
This test point is connected to the EN pin. By default, there is a pullup resistor R2 (RENT) to VIN to
enable the IC.
This test point is connected to the RT pin of the IC when the R4 (RMODE) is installed. In a
MODE/SYNC trimmed part, this test point is connected to the SYNC pin of the IC. This can be
connected to an external clock to synchronize the IC. In a MODE/SYNC configuration, make sure
J6 is configured to the SYNC setting in order to hookup to an external clock signal.
This test point is connected to the VCC pin.
Refer to the product data sheet for absolute maximum ratings associated with the features in this table.

Setup
1.2 Jumpers
See Figure 1-2 for jumper locations.
•
•
•
•
J2 EN- This jumper allows the ENABLE input to be connected to GND in order to disable the IC. The "ON"
position is the same as an unconnected jumper as EN is pulled up by R2. The "OFF" position shorts EN to
ground which will disable TPSM365R6V3RDNR.
J3 Mode Select- This EVM is supplied with an MODE/SYNC trimmed version of TPSM365R6 to allow to
adjust between PFM and FPWM modes at a fixed 1MHz swithcing frequency.
J5 DUMMY CONNECTOR- If an RT device is installed into U1, then this pin can be configured to add a
feedback resistor network between VOUT and the RT pin.
J6 Mode/Sync- This connector selects between whether the pin 11 of the device is connected to J3's Mode
setting or to the signal connected to the SYNC test point.

Operation
www.ti.com
2 Operation
2.1 Quick Start
1. Make sure that a jumper is connected to one of the frequencies on the frequency select header. The device
does not function properly if this is not connected.
2. Connect the load between the VOUT and GND points on J4. Make sure GND is connected on the top
terminal, and VOUT is located on the bottom terminal.
3. Set the supply voltage at an appropriate level between 3.0 V to 65 V. Set the current limit of the supply to an
appropriate level.
4. Turn on the power supply. With the default configuration, the EVM powers up and provides VOUT = 3.3 V.
5. Monitor the output voltage. The maximum load current is limited to 0.6 A with the TPSM36506 device.
6. Connect the voltage supply between the VIN and GND points on J1.
