TPSM8290x Step-Down Converter Evaluation Module
User's Guide
ABSTRACT
The TPSM8290xEVM (BSR188) facilitates the evaluation of the TPSM8290x 1-A, 2-A, and 3-A pin-to-pin
compatible buck converter modules in a small 3.0-mm by 2.8-mm MicroSiP™ package with integrated inductor.
The BSR188-003 uses the 3-A TPSM82903 to output a 1.2-V output voltage from input voltages between 3
V and 17 V. The BSR188-002 uses the 2-A TPSM82902 to output a 1.8-V output voltage from input voltages
between 3 V and 17 V. The BSR188-001 uses the 1-A TPSM82901 to output a 3.3-V output voltage from input
voltages up to 17 V. The TPSM8290x is a high-efficiency, low IQ buck converter module for use in a variety of
industrial, enterprise, and personal electronics applications, such as the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Factory and building automation
IP network cameras
Industrial PC
Data center switches
Servo drives
Mobile and embedded computing
Any application with a 12-V input voltage or a 1-4 cell lithium battery pack

1.2 Modifications
The printed-circuit board (PCB) for this EVM is designed to accommodate some modifications by the user.
Additionally, the following modifications can be made:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Input and output capacitors can be added.
The input voltage at which the IC turns on can be adjusted with two resistors
The soft-start time can be changed.
The output voltage can track an applied voltage
A feedforward capacitor can be added.
The switching frequency, output discharge setting, MODE setting, and output voltage setting configuration
can be changed.
See the TPSM82903, 3-A, 3-V to 17-V, High Efficiency and Low IQ Buck Converter Module in a MicroSiP
Package with an Integrated Inductor Data Sheet for details of the various settings.
1.2.1 Input and Output Capacitors
C2, C3, and C4 are provided for additional input capacitors. These capacitors are not required for proper
operation but can be used to reduce the input voltage ripple.

Introduction
C7, C8, C9, and C10 are provided for additional bulk output capacitors. These capacitors are not required for
proper operation but can be used to reduce the output voltage ripple. The total output capacitance must remain
within the recommended range in the TPSM82903, 3-A, 3-V to 17-V, High Efficiency and Low IQ Buck Converter
Module in a MicroSiPTM Package with an Integrated Inductor Data Sheet for proper operation.
1.2.2 Configurable Enable Threshold Voltage
With JP2 removed, R3 and R4 can be installed to set a user-selectable input voltage at which the IC turns on.
1.2.3 SS/TR Capacitor
C12 sets the soft-start time. This capacitor can be changed to set other soft-start times.
1.2.4 Feedforward Capacitor
C11 is provided as an optional feedforward capacitor (CFF).
1.2.5 MODE/S-CONF Resistor
R7 selects the switching frequency, output discharge, MODE setting, and output voltage setting configuration.
When using the VSET configuration for setting the output voltage, remove R2 and change the value of R5.
See the TPSM82903, 3-A, 3-V to 17-V, High Efficiency and Low IQ Buck Converter Module in a MicroSiPTM
Package with an Integrated Inductor Data Sheet for details of the various settings.
2 Setup
This section describes how to properly use the EVM.
2.1 Input/Output Connector Descriptions
J2, Pin 1 and 2 – VIN
Positive input connection from the input supply for the EVM
J2, Pin 3 and 4 – S+/S-
Input voltage sense connections. Measure the input voltage at this point.
J2, Pin 5 and 6 – GND
Return connection from the input supply for the EVM
J3, Pin 1 and 2 – VOUT
Output voltage connection
J3, Pin 3 and 4 – S+/S-
Output voltage sense connections. Measure the output voltage at this point.
J3, Pin 5 and 6 – GND
Output return connection
J4 – PG/GND
The PG output is on pin 1 of this header with a convenient ground on pin 2.
J5 – TRACK-IN/SS/TR/GND By removing C12, the IC tracks an externally applied voltage. Apply the voltage
on pin 1 to scale the applied voltage through R8 and R9. The SS/TR voltage can
be measured on pin 2.
JP1 – PG Pullup Voltage
PG pin pullup voltage jumper. Place the supplied jumper on JP1 to connect the
PG pin pullup resistor to VOUT. Alternatively, the jumper can be removed and a
different voltage can be supplied on pin 1 to pull up the PG pin to a different level.
This externally applied voltage must remain below 18 V.
JP2 – EN
EN pin input jumper. Place the supplied jumper across ON and EN to turn on the IC. Place the
jumper across OFF and EN to turn off the IC. Remove the jumper to set a configurable enable
threshold voltage with R3 and R4.
JP3 –
MODE/SCONF
MODE/S-CONF pin input jumper. Place the supplied jumper across PWM and MODE/S-CONF to
operate the IC in forced PWM mode. Place the jumper across PFM/PWM and MODE/S-CONF
to operate the IC in auto PFM/PWM mode. Remove the jumper to operate the IC with the
MODE/S-CONF settings set by R7.
Note
If it is desired to change between PWM and PFM/PWM modes during operation, JP3
must be set to either PWM or PFM/PWM before enabling the IC.
