TPS272C45 Evaluation Module 1

1 Introduction

The Texas Instruments TPS272C45EVM is an evaluation module that is used to demonstrate and showcase

all of the features of the underlying TPS272C45 industrial high side switch. This evaluation board provides a

seamless way to connect a set of power supplies to the inputs of the TPS272C45, connect loads to the output

channels, and switch on and off the device using the control pins of the chip itself. An on-board 3.3-V LDO

is included on the EVM to simplify controlling signals to the TPS272C45 and easily assert and deassert logic

signals by the use of a set of external hardware jumpers. Additionally this EVM includes BoosterPack headers

allowing the user to easily connect the TPS272C45 high side switch to an underlying microcontroller and write

software to control and configure the device.

Features of the TPS272C45EVM include:

• Multiplexed current limit configuration on ILIM1

• BoosterPack headers allowing power switch to be controlled by external microcontroller

• On-board 3.3-V LDO allowing for control signals to be manipulated by set of jumpers

• Ideal board layout and copper area for thermal performance

• Ability to support versions A, B, C, and D of the TPS272C45

• Optional footprint to populate external inductive clamping diodes (version C of TPS272C45)

• Optional footprint to populate TVS diode for Vdd input (version A of TPS272C45)

2 Compatibility Across Silicon Versions

The TPS272C45EVM is compatible across all versions of the TPS272C45. This compatibility includes the

TPS272C45A with the external Vdd rail (A version), the TPS272C45B version without the Vdd rail (B version),

the TPS272C45C with support for the external inductive loading diode (C version), and the TPS272C45D with

fault output for individual channel (D version). By default, the A version of the silicon is populated on the EVM.

The footprints among the A, B, C, and D versions of the TPS272C45 silicon are footprint compatible and can be

interchanged by unpopulating the A version that ships default on the EVM and soldering, populating the desired

version of the silicon.

The A, C and D version of the device includes the ability to power the digital logic of the TPS272C45 from an

external Vdd pin. While the Vdd input pin exists on the A version of the TPS272C45 it does not exist in the B

versions. When using the B versions of silicon on this EVM, disconnect the Vdd line (and associated jumper,

J17) and ground the pin as this pin is classified as GND for B versions of the TPS272C45. Additionally with the

A, C and D version of the silicon it is possible to solder a TVS diode to D6 to filter out transients to the Vdd line.

This TVS diode must have a reverse standoff voltage equal to the logic level of the voltage rail being fed into

Vdd. For example, if the logic level is 5 V, then a SMAJ5.0CA diode is appropriate to filter any transients above 5

When using the C version of the device, populate D2, D3, D8, and D9 with the relevant diodes required for

inductive loading. TI recommends the SMC series of diodes due to their ability to dissipate large energies

and handle current required for discharging charged inductors during switch turn-off. These diodes must be

chosen so that reverse standoff voltage falls within the nominal operating supply voltage of the device and

anything above the breakdown voltage is considered a transient. The SMCJ48A-TR, for example, is able the

absolute device max rating of 48 V and filter any transients above this level. More information about the transient

protections provided by the EVM can be found in Transient Protection.

When using the D version of the device, make sure jumper J23 is connected to the FLT1_IC position to get the

Fault output for each channel.

A table of the versions of TPS272C45 and considerations that have to be taken can be found in Table 2-1.

TPS272C45 Evaluation Module 3

3 BoosterPack Operation

While the TPS272C45EVM can be used as a standalone evaluation board without the need of any external

microcontroller, the EVM also comes populated with BoosterPack headers (J1, J2, J3, J4) to enable easy

interface with a Texas Instruments microcontroller. The 40-pin headers of the BoosterPack headers are used,

however all signals can be accessed using headers J1 and J2 enabling use with the 20-pin header. Additionally

by populating jumper J19 the user has the ability to power the underlying LaunchPad through the integrated

3.3-V LDO on the TPS272C45EVM. A list of pins connected to the BoosterPack header can be seen below in

Table 3-1:

Table 3-1. Connected BoosterPack Header Pins on TPS272C45EVM

BoosterPack Pin Function Note

J1-1 3.3-V power rail Disconnect J19 if powering LaunchPad via USB.

J1-2 Current sensing through the SNS pin Populate a Zener diode on D7 if it is required to limit analog

signal of pin

J1-5 DIA_EN pin used to enable diagnostics Can be used to multiplex multiple TPS272C45 switches to one

analog pin

J1-8 SEL pin used to change measurement reported on

SNS pin

J2-11 LATCH pin used to change fault behavior

J2-12 ILIM1 pin used to enable a10-kΩ resistor R13 for

ILIM1 Active high. Do not enable at same time as J2-13.

J2-13 ILIM2 pin used to enable a 4.99-kΩ resistor R14 for

ILIM1 Active high. Do not enable as same time as J2-12.

J2-17 FLT pin used to detect faults Open drain input. Pull-up source can be controlled using

jumper J18.

J2-18 EN2 to enable VOUT2 Active high. Can be connected to PWM.

J2-19 EN1 to enable VOUT1 Active high. Can be connected to PWM.

J2-20 Module GND Do not connect to IC ground if ground network is used

Note that for all IO and analog signals being attached to the BoosterPack, the relevant 4.7-kΩ protection

resistors are populated in series with the pin.

To power the attached LaunchPad from the on-board LDO of the TPS272C45EVM, connect the jumper J19.

Note that this feeds the output of the 3.3-V LDO on the TPS272C45EVM into the 3.3-V rail on the LaunchPad.

If there is another power supply trying to power the LaunchPad (such as the integrated USB power on the

LaunchPad itself) this can potentially cause issues with the separate power sources fighting for contention.

Jumpers J8 through J12 are used to manually configure the control signals going into the TPS272C45.

When using a microcontroller to control these signals these jumpers must be unpopulated to allow for the

microcontroller to drive them high or low. Additionally the header labeled J18 can be used to configure how

the FAULT pin is pulled up. This pin is an open drain output used to report faults on the TPS272C45 such as

overcurrent or open load. If J18 is connected to the pin marked BP on the silkscreen the FAULT pin is pulled

up through the 1-kΩ resistor R9 to the 3.3-V rail of the BoosterPack. Similarly if the jumper labeled J17 is

connected to the BP pin the Vdd rail of the TPS272C45 is connected to the 3.3-V rail of the BoosterPack. If J17

is populated to be fed from the LDO or BoosterPack, it cannot be supplied externally from the J6 banana jack.

Note that one useful feature of the TPS272C45 EVM is the ability to sense the from the SNS pin of the

TPS272C45 through the analog input of the microcontroller attached to the BoosterPack headers. A 1.0-kΩ

resistor is connected to convert the current coming out of the SNS pin to a voltage, however care must be

given to ensure that this value does not violate the input maximum of the microcontroller's analog input. To

mitigate, a Zener diode can be soldered to D7 (do not populate by default) to regulate the voltage going into the

microncontroller's analog input.

TPS272C45 Evaluation Module 9

7 Current Limit Configuration

The TPS272C45EVM has the ability to configure both the ILIM1 and ILIM2 pins of the TPS272C45 to set a wide

range of current limits that are custom tailored to the end design. Additionally the user is able to custom tailor

the duration of time taken before the output current shuts off through the resistor connected to the ILIMD pin.

The external current limits of the TPS272C45EVM are controlled by external resistors R13 and R14 (ILIM1), R2

(ILIM2), and R3 (ILIMD). Note that these resistors are populated in the 0805 package size allowing for easy

soldering and desoldering.

The ILIM1 pin is configured in such a way that multiplexed current limits can be selected from an external

microcontroller through the BoosterPack headers. This feature can seen below in Figure 7-1:

Figure 7-1. Multiplexed Current Limit

With this configuration, the user can choose to enable the MOSFET Q1 if the 10.0-kΩ resistor is desired or

enable the MOSFET Q2 if the 4.99-kΩ resistor is desired. TI does not recommend to enable both channels

simultaneously as this would parallel both of the resistors and add an undesired capacitance to the line. If

multiplexing is not needed, the user can manually populate either the J14 or J15 jumpers. Please refer to the

TPS272C45 data sheet for information on how to calculate delays from relevant resistor values.
