TPSM41625 2-Phase Power Module Evaluation Module
User's Guide
ABSTRACT
The TPSM41625-2X evaluation module (EVM) is designed as an easy-to-use platform that facilitates an
extensive evaluation of the features and performance of two TPSM41625 devices combined to operate together
in a stack-able configuration for increased current. The EVM operates over the entire input voltage range, 4-V
to 16-V, of the TPSM41625. The output voltage can be set to several popular values by using configuration
jumpers. Similarly, the switching frequency can be set to one of four values with a jumper. The full shared output
current rating (50-A) of the device can be supplied by the EVM. Input and output capacitors are included on the
board to accommodate the entire range of input and output voltages. Monitoring test points are provided to allow
measurement of the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Efficiency
Power dissipation
Input ripple
Output ripple
Line and load regulation
Transient response
Control test points and component footprints are provided for use of the enable (EN), power good (PGOOD),
SYNC, current sharing (ISH) and voltage sharing (VSH) features of the device. The EVM uses a recommended
PCB layout that maximizes theermal performance and minimizes output ripple and noise.

EVM Setup
www.ti.com
1 EVM Setup
Figure 1-1 highlights the user interface items associated with the EVM. The PVIN Power terminal block (J5) is
used for connection to the host input supply and the VOUT Power terminal block (J3) is used for connection to
the load. Terminal block J5 accepts up to a 10-AWG wire, J6 to a 14-AWG, and J3 & J4 accept up to a 6-AWG
wire.

The PVIN S+ and PVIN S- input voltage test points as well as the RS+ and RS- output voltage test points,
located near the power terminal blocks are intended to be used as voltage monitoring points where voltmeter
scan be connected to measure PVIN and VOUT. Do not use these S+ and S- monitoring test points as
the input supply or output load connection points. The PCB traces connecting to these test points are not
designed to support high currents.
The PVIN Scope (J2) and VOUT Scope (J1) sockets can be used to monitor PVIN and VOUT waveforms
with an oscilloscope. These test points are intended for use with un-hooded scope probes outfitted with a
low inductance ground lead (ground spring) mounted to the scope probe barrel. The two sockets of each test
point are on 0.1 inch centers. The scope probe tip should be inserted into the socket marked with a + sign,
and the scope ground lead should be inserted into the other socket.
The control test points located around the device are made available to test the features of the device. Refer
to the EVM Connectors and Test Points for more information on the individual control test points. Other
features, such as UVLO (R10, R13), ILIM (R12), SS (R15) and MODE (R29) can be altered by manually
adding or changing the value on the associated footprints for each component located on the bottom-side of
the EVM.
The VREF jumper (J11), VOUT jumper (J12), FSW jumper (J13), and the RAMP jumper (J8) are provided for
selecting the internal reference voltage, switching frequency, desired output voltage, and appropriate RAMP
setting. Before applying power to the EVM, make sure that the jumpers are present and properly positioned
for the intended output voltage. Ensure to set the internal reference voltage prior to selecting the desired
output voltage (selecting the highest reference voltage will result in the most accurate output voltage set
point). Refer to Table 1-1 and Table 1-2 for the recommended jumper settings.

Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 demonstrate the enable ON/OFF performance of the EVM. Figure 3-3 shows the
typical output voltage ripple with a 25-A load. All figures shown below are under the following conditions: 12-V
input voltage, 1.2-V output voltage and a switching frequency of 700 kHz. Additional output capacitor footprints
are available on the EVM if an improved load transient response or output voltage ripple is needed. See the data
