TPS54560EVM-515 Board 1.1 Background The TPS54560 DC-DC converter is designed to provide up to a 5-A output current from an input voltage source of 4.5 V to 60 V. Rated input voltage and output current range for the evaluation module are given in Table 1. This evaluation module is designed to demonstrate the small, printed-circuit-board (PCB) areas that may be achieved when designing with the TPS54560 regulator. The switching frequency is externally set at a nominal 400 kHz. The high-side MOSFET is incorporated inside the TPS54560 package along with the gate-drive circuitry. The compensation components are external to the integrated circuit (IC) and an external resistor divider allows for an adjustable output voltage. Additionally, the TPS54560 provides an adjustable undervoltage lockout with hysteresis through an external resistor divider. The maximum input voltage is 60 V for the TPS54560EVM-515. Table 1.

The output voltage can be adjusted to a minimum of the 0.8 V internal reference. The value of R5 for a specific output voltage can be calculated using Equation 1. ae Vout - 0.8V o RHS = RLS c / 0.8 V e o (1) Table 3 lists the R5 values for some common output voltages assuming R6 = 10.2 k. Note VIN must be in a range so the minimum on-time is greater than 135 ns. The values given in Table 3 are standard 1% values, not the exact value calculated using Equation 1. Table 3.

It may be necessary to modify the compensation components. Output capacitors with a higher output voltage may also be needed. Please see the data sheet for details. 1.4.2 Adjustable UVLO The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) can be adjusted externally using R1 (RUVLO1) and R2 (RUVLO2). The EVM is set for a start voltage of 6.5 V and stop voltage of 5.0 V, using R1 = 442 k and R2 = 90.9 k. Use Equation 2 and Equation 3 to calculate the required resistor values for R3 and R4, respectively for different start and stop voltages. The typical values of the constants in the two equations are as follows: IHYS = 3.4 A, VENA = 1.2 V, and I1 = 1.2 A. - VSTOP V RUVLO1 = START IHYS (2) RUVLO2 = 2 VENA VSTART - VENA + I1 RUVLO1 (3) Test Setup and Results This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the EVM. The section also includes test results typical for the EVM covering efficiency, output voltage regulation, load transients, loop response, output ripple, input ripple, start up, and shutdown. 2.1 I/O Connections This EVM includes I/O connectors and test points as shown in Table 4. A power supply capable of supplying at least 5 A must be connected to J2 through a pair of 20-AWG wires. If the power supply is connected to the EVM using leads with length greater than 1 foot a bulk input capacitor is recommended (C11). The load must be connected to J1 through a pair of 20-AWG wires. The maximum load-current capability must be 5 A. Wire lengths must be minimized to reduce losses in the wires. Test-point TP1 provides a place to monitor the VIN input voltages with TP2 providing a convenient ground reference. TP3 is used to monitor the output voltage with TP4 as the ground reference. 4 Evaluation Module for the TPS54560 Step-Down Converter Copyright (c) 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated SLVU863 - February 2013 Submit Documentation Feedback Test Setup and Results www.ti.com Table 4.

Figure 3 shows the efficiency for the EVM. Figure 4 shows the light-load efficiency for the EVM using a semi-log scale. Measurements are taken at an ambient temperature of 25 C. The efficiency may be lower at higher ambient temperatures due to temperature variation in the drain-to-source resistance of the internal MOSFET. 100 100 90 95 80 70 Efficiency (%) Efficiency (%) 90 85 80 75 60 50 40 30 VOUT = 5 V, fsw = 400 kHz 70 VIN =Series1 7V VIN =36V 36 V 65 60 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 VIN =12V 12 V VIN =24V 24 V VIN =48V 48 V VIN =60V 60 V 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 IO - Output Current (A) Figure 3.

The top-side layer of the EVM is laid out in a manner typical of a user application. The top and bottom layers are 2-oz copper. The top layer contains the main power traces for VIN, VOUT, and SW. Also on the top layer are connections for the remaining pins of the TPS54560 and a large area filled with ground. The bottom layer contains ground and a signal route for the bootstrap capacitor. The top and bottom and internal ground traces are connected with multiple vias placed around the board including six vias directly under the TPS54560 device to provide a thermal path from the top-side ground plane to the bottom-side ground plane. The input decoupling capacitors (C1-C3, C10), bootstrap capacitor (C4), and frequency set resistor (R3) are all located as close to the IC as possible. In addition, the voltage set-point resistor divider components are also kept close to the IC. The voltage divider network ties to the output voltage at the point of regulation, the copper VOUT trace past the output connector (J1). For the TPS54560, an additional input bulk capacitor may be required (11), depending on the EVM connection to the input supply. Figure 22. TPS54560EVM-515 Top Assembly and Silkscreen Figure 23.
