TPS212x Evaluation Module

1 Introduction

The TPS212x EVM is an evaluation module for TI's TPS212x family of two-input, one-output power

multiplexers. This device automatically detects, selects, and seamlessly transitions between two power

supplies, each operating from 2.7 V to 22 V. The TPS2121 device, the VSON hot-rod package, can deliver

up to 4 A while the TPS2120, WCSP package, can handle up to 3 A. This user's guide contains the EVM

schematics, board layout, list of materials, and necessary instructions on how to properly operate the

EVM.

The EVM has test points for convenient access to all critical voltages and pins, and jumpers to configure

the different modes of operation. There are also jumpers to configure input and output capacitance, output

load resistance, current limit, and the adjustable soft-start time.

1.1 Features

The TPS212x EVM offers many features including:

• Uninterrupted system power with seamless switchover

• Overvoltage protection

• Low RON resistance at both inputs: 50 mΩtypical

• Multiple configurations for different modes of operation

1.2 Applications

The TPS212x power multiplexer can be used in many applications, including:

• Add-on cards (PCIE, RAID, Network)

• ePos

• Video surveillance

• ORing controllers

1.3 Description

The TPS212x EVM power MUX evaluation board enables evaluation of the TPS212x family of Power

MUX devices. Although both variants (TPS2121EVM-042 or TPS2120EVM-023) contain different jumpers

and connectors, they will function almost identically. Both EVMs allow operation at different input voltages,

although the resistors and jumpers are configured for operation at 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V. See the TPS212x

data sheet for more information regarding these settings.

The TPS212x EVMs also allow multiple modes of operation. By configuring the jumpers, the EVMs

automatically detect, select, and seamlessly transition between available inputs. The different modes of

operation are explained in Table 1.

3 Test Setup and Results

This chapter describes the proper setup for the TPS212x power MUX EVM. This section explains the

different configuration modes present on each EVM, and the required jumper positions to enable each

configuration.

3.1 TPS212x EVM Test Equipment

Read the TPS212x data sheet before using the EVM.

The following test equipment is recommended:

• Storage oscilloscope

• Current problem

• Two adjustable power supples, 0 V–22 V at 4 A maximum

• A passive or active load

3.2 Setting up the TPS2121 EVM

Make sure the TPS2121 evaluation board has the default jumper settings as Table 8 shows.

Table 8. Default Jumper Settings for TPS2121 Evaluation Board

Input Connector Label Position

VIN1 J1 PR1 (3.3 V) Install

J4 OV1 (3.3 V) Install

VIN2 J12 OV2 (12 V) Install

J13 CP2 Install

VOUT

J17, J18 100 µF Install

J20 10 ΩInstall

J22 SS (10 nF) Install

JP1 PR1 Jump pins 2 and 3

JP2 ST Jump pins 2 and 3

JP3 ILIM (4.5 A maximum) Jump pins 1 and 2

The default jumper configuration sets the Internal Voltage Reference (VREF) configuration. Since the

voltage on the priority pin is set for 3.3-V operation and CP2 is grounded, priority will be given to VIN1.

Therefore, VIN1 can be set to 3.3 V, and the device will prioritize VIN1 even if VIN2 is at a higher voltage.

See the data sheet for more information regarding the configuration settings.

3.3 Setting up the TPS2120 EVM

Make sure the TPS2120 evaluation board has default jumper settings as Table 9 shows.

Table 9. Default Jumper Settings for TPS2120 Evaluation Board

Input Connector Label Position

J1 PR1 (3.3 V) Install

J4 OV1 (3.3 V) Install

J9 J9 (12 V) Install

J15 10 ΩInstall

J18 SS (10 nF) Install

JP1 SEL Jump pins 1 and 2

JP2 PR1 Jump pins 2 and 3

JP3 ST Jump pins 2 and 3

JP4 ILIM (4.5 A maximum) Jump pins 2 and 3

Board Layout

SLVUBD2A–September 2018–Revised January 2019

TPS212x Evaluation Module

The default jumper configuration sets the Internal Voltage Reference (VREF) configuration. Since the

voltage on the priority pin is set for 3.3-V operation and SEL is grounded, the priority is given to VIN1.

Therefore, VIN1 can be set to 3.3 V, and the device will prioritize VIN1 even if VIN2 is at a higher voltage.

See the data sheet for more information regarding the configuration settings.
