TPS61280-585 Evaluation Module

This User's Guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the TPS61280 evaluation module

(EVM). This EVM enables test and evaluation of the Texas Instruments' TPS61280 device, a 2.3-MHz

(typ.), up to 4.8-V input, step-up dc-dc converter with integrated Pass-Through Mode. This User's Guide

includes EVM specifications, user software description, the schematic diagram, bill of materials, and board

layout. After the release of the A-version device in the summer of 2014, the EVM is assembled with the

TPS61280A (supports PWM mode during startup which is not available for TPS61280).

Introduction

1 Introduction

The TPS61280 device provides a power-supply solution for products powered by either a three-cell

alkaline, NiCd or NiMH battery, or a single-cell Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery. The wide input voltage range

is ideal for portable power applications such as mobile phones or computer peripherals. In addition, the

TPS61280 can also maintain its output biased at the input voltage level. In this mode, the synchronous

rectifier is current-limited, and allows external loads (for example, an audio amplifier) to be powered with a

restricted supply. In this mode, quiescent current is reduced to 18 μA. Input current in shutdown mode is

less than 5 μA in order to maximize battery life.

1.1 Requirements

The TPS61280EVM is designed to operate over the full input voltage range and produces a fixed output

voltage.

In order to operate this EVM, only a dc power supply able to deliver between 2.3 V and 4.8 V is required.

1.2 Applications

• Single-Cell Ni-Rich, Si-Anode, Li-Ion, LiFePO4 smart-phones or tablet PCs

• 2.5G, 3G, and 4G mini-module data cards

• Current-limited applications featuring high peak power loads

1.3 Features

• 95% Efficiency at 2.3-MHz operation

• VIN range from 2.3 V to 4.8 V

• 2-μA quiescent current in low IQ pass-through mode

• Integrated pass-through mode (35 mΩ)

• Programmable valley inductor current limit and output voltage via I²C interface

• True pass-through mode during shutdown

• Thermal shutdown and overload protection

• Total solution size < 20 mm², sub 1-mm Profil

3 Connector and Test Point Descriptions

3.1 J1 Input Connectors

3.1.1 Pin 1 and 2: VIN

This header is the positive connection to the input power supply. The power supply must be connected

between these pins and pins 5 and 6 (GND). Twist the leads to the input supply and keep them as short

as possible. The input voltage must be between 2.3 V and 4.8 V.

3.1.2 Pin 3: Input Sense VIN

Therefore, a four-wire power and sense supply can be connected. Twist the leads to the sensing

connector.

Pin 4: Input Sense GND

This header is intended to measure the GND close to the input of the device. Therefore, a four-wire power

and sense supply can be connected. Twist the leads to the sensing connector.

3.1.3 Pin 5 and 6: GND

This header is the return connection to the input power supply. Connect the power supply between these

pins and pins 1 and 2 (VIN). Twist the leads to the input supply and keep them as short as possible. The

input voltage must be between 2.3 V and 4.8 V.

3.2 J2 Output Connector

3.2.1 Pin 1 and 2: VOUT

This header is the positive connection of the output voltage. Connect the load between these pins and

pins 5 and 6 (GND).

3.2.2 Pin 3: Output Sense VOUT

This header is intended to measure the output voltage directly on the output capacitors.

3.2.3 Pin 4: Output Sense GND

This header is intended to measure the GND close to the output of the device.

Pin 5 and 6: GND

This is the return connection of the output voltage. Connect the load between these pins and Pin 1 and 2

(VOUT).

Connector and Test Point Descriptions

3.3 Other Connectors

J9: I²C Connector

This 10-pin header connects the USB-to-GPIO adaptor to the TPS61280EVM-585.

J10: SMA Input Connector

This SMA connector is connected to the input voltage of the converter. It can be used to easily analyze

the noise spectrum of the input voltage with a spectrum analyzer. By default, J10 is not assembled on the

EVM.

3.3.1 J11: SMA Output Connector

This SMA connector is connected to the output voltage of the converter. It can be used to easily analyze

the noise spectrum of the output voltage with a spectrum analyzer. By default, J11 is not assembled on

the EVM.

3.4 Jumpers

3.4.1 J3: Enable Jumper

Placing a jumper across pins EN and ON ties the EN pin to VIN, and enables the device. Placing a jumper

across pins EN and OFF ties the EN pin to GND, which disables the device.

J4: VSEL, Output Voltage Selection

Placing a jumper across pins HIGH and VSEL ties the VSEL pin to VIN, and selects the default output roof

voltage. Placing a jumper across pins LOW and VSEL ties the VSEL pin to GND, and selects the default

output floor voltage.

Table 1. TPS61280 VSEL Settings

Value Description Default Output Voltage

HIGH Selects the Output Roof Voltage as stored in register 0x03 3.15 V

LOW Selects the Output Floor Voltage as stored in register 0x02 3.35 V

J5: nBYP, Forced Bypass Selection

Placing a jumper across pins nBYP and ON ties the nBYP pin to GND and enables the pass-through

mode. Placing a jumper across pins nBYP and OFF ties the nBYP pin to VIN and enables auto DC/DC

boost mode.

Table 2. TPS61280 Mode of Operations

EN Input nBYP Input Device Status

LOW LOW The device is shut down in pass-through mode featuring a shutdown current down to ca. 2 μA typ. The

load current capability is limited (up to ca. 250 mA).

LOW HIGH The device is shut down and the output voltage is reduced to a minimum value (VIN – VOUT ≤3.6 V).

The device shutdown current is approximately 8.5 μA typ.

HIGH LOW The device is active in forced pass-through mode. The device supply current is approximately 15 μA typ.

from the battery. The device is short-circuit protected by a current limit of ca. 7300 mA.

HIGH HIGH The device is active in auto mode (dc/dc boost, pass-through). The device supply current is approximately

50 μA typ. from the battery.

J6: GPIO/PG, General Purpose In/Out and Power Good

This pin can either be configured as a input (mode selection) or as dual role input/open-drain output

(nRST/nFAULT) pin. Per default, the pin is configured as nRST/nFAULT input/output.

Pin GPIO/PG is connected to HIGH per default. This pin is tied to VIN via pull-Up resistor R5.

J7: SCL Pull-Up Resistor

This header enables the possibility to apply the onboard pull-Up resistor R3 as well as to track the I²C

Clock signal on pin 2.

Placing a jumper across pins 1 and 2 ties SCL via resistor R3 to VIN. Per default, the USB-to-GPIO

Interface Adapter has a Pull-Up resistor applied. Therefore this Jumper is not fitted.

J8: SDA Pull-Up Resistor

This header enables the possibility to apply the onboard pull-Up resistor R4 as well as to track the I²C

Data signal on pin 2.

Placing a jumper across pins 1 and 2 ties SDA via resistor R4 to VIN. Per default, the USB-to-GPIO

Interface Adapter has a Pull-Up resistor applied. Therefore, this jumper is not fitted.

4 TPS61280EVM Assembly Drawings and Layout

Figure 2 through Figure 6 show the design of the TPS61280EVM-585 PCBs. The EVM has been designed

using a four-layer, 1-ounce copper-clad PCB with all components in an active area on the top side of the

board. Moving components to both sides of the PCB can offer additional size reduction for space-

constrained systems.

All layers are viewed from top side.
