Operating TPSM846C23 in Parallel

1 Description

The TPSM846C23 is a PMBus™ enabled, synchronous buck power module designed to provide up to 35

A of output current. The TPSM846C23 can be paralleled with two devices to achieve output current up to

70 A. The TPSM846C23 is a highly-integrated, PMBus-enabled DC-DC power module that combines a

35-A DC/DC converter with power MOSFETs, a shielded inductor, some input and output capacitors, and

passives into a low profile package. The input voltage range is 4.5 V to 15 V. The output voltage range is

0.35 V to 2 V. The PMBus interface provides for converter configuration as well as monitoring of key

parameters including output voltage, output current, and the internal die temperature, as well as many

user-programmable configuration options.

This evaluation module is designed to demonstrate the ease-of-use and small printed-circuit-board area

that may be achieved when paralleling two TPSM846C23 power modules. Monitoring test points are

provided to allow measurement of efficiency, power dissipation, input ripple, output ripple, line and load

regulation, and transient response. Additionally, control test points are provided for use of the power good,

and synchronization features of the device. The EVM uses a recommended PCB layout that maximizes

thermal performance and minimizes output ripple and noise.

2 Getting Started

Figure 1 highlights the user interface items associated with the EVM. The polarized input power terminal

block (TB1) is used for connection to the host input supply. TB2 and TB3 allow 4 terminals for VOUT and

TB4 and TB5 allow 4 terminals for PGND for connection to the load. These terminal blocks can except up

to 12 AWG wire.

Figure 1. EVM User Interface

The VIN Monitor (VIN and PGND) and VOUT Monitor (VS+ and VS–) test points located near the input

terminal block and the output terminal blocks are intended to be used as voltage monitoring points where

voltmeters can be connected to measure the input and output voltages. Do not use these VIN and VOUT

monitoring test points as the input supply or output load connection points. The PCB traces

connecting to these test points are not designed to support high currents.

Getting Started

SLVUB26C–May 2017–Revised June 2018

Operating TPSM846C23 in Parallel

The VIN Scope (J1) and VOUT Scope (J2) test points can be used to monitor VIN and VOUT waveforms

with an oscilloscope. These test points are intended for use with un-hooded scope probes outfitted with a

low-inductance ground lead (ground spring) mounted to the scope probe barrel. The two sockets of each

test point are on 0.1 inch centers. The scope probe tip should be inserted into the socket labeled VIN or

VOUT, and the scope probe ground lead should be inserted into the hole of the socket labeled PGND.

The test points located directly below the device are made available to test the features of the device. Any

external connections made to these test points should be referenced to one of the AGND test points

located along the bottom of the EVM. Refer to the Test Point Descriptions section of this guide for more

information on the individual control test points.

The PMBus connector (P1) is provided to connect the USB-to-GPIO interface pod to the EVM. The USB-

to-GPIO interface pod connects the EVM to a computer USB port which allows the TI “Fusion” Graphical

User Interface (GUI) to communicate and control the EVM. To download the latest software visit,

http://www.ti.com/tool/fusion_digital_power_designer.

The ALERT, DATA, CLK, and CNTL test points are used to monitor and control the module via PMBus.

Reference the TPS546C23 PG1.0 Supported PMBus Commands document for details on the supported

PMBus commands.

The Vout Gain jumper (P4) is used to set the output voltage. Select X1 for an output voltage between

0.35 V–1.65 V and select X2 for output voltages between 0.70 V–2 V. The default loading is the X1

position.

The Comp Select jumper (P2) sets the proper frequency compensation for the total amount of output

capacitance present on the VOUT bus. The EVM is shipped with approximately 2000 µF of output

capacitance loaded on the board. Locations are provided on the board to add another 2000 µF of output

capacitance (C28–C31). The default jumper load is the 2000 µF position.

When two TPSM846C23 devices are paralleled, the SYNC pins of the Master and the Slave must be

supplied with a 50% duty cycle external clock signal at the desired switching frequency. A 500-kHz clock

is present on the EVM which supplies the required 50% duty cycle signal. The Master device (U1) locks to

the rising edge of the clock and the Slave device (U2) locks to the falling edge of the clock.

Resistors R5, R6, R7, and R8 set the PMBus address for the modules. The master module PMBus

address is 54 decimal (36 hex) and the slave address is 52 decimal (34 hex).

Operation Notes

SLVUB26C–May 2017–Revised June 2018

Operating TPSM846C23 in Parallel

4 Operation Notes

In order to operate the EVM, apply a valid input voltage of 4.5 V to 15 V. The undervoltage lock-out

(UVLO) can be programmed the PMBus commands.

The output voltage is set at the factory to 0.6 V. It can be programmed over the allowable VOUT range by

using the PMBus VOUT_COMMAND.

The Power Good (PGOOD) indicator of the EVM will assert high when the output voltage is within ±5% of

the programmed output voltage value. A 10-kΩpull-up resistor (R18) is populated between the PGOOD

pin and the 3V3 pin.

The TPSM846C23DEVM-807 is set-up to operate at 500 kHz. A clock circuit is present on the bottom of

the EVM. The clock circuit produces a 500 kHz, 50% duty cycle clock that feeds both devices. If another

switching frequency is required, R23 must be removed from the clock circuit on the bottom of the EVM

and an external clock must be connected to the EXT CLK test point. The external clock applied to EXT

CLK test point must be 2× the required frequency. The device can be synchronized to an external clock

over the frequency range of 300 kHz to 1 MHz. Refer to the product data sheet for further information on

synchronization.

The TPSM846C23DEVM-807 includes both input and output capacitors. The EVM includes footprints for

adding additional input and output capacitors to the EVM. Adding additional capacitance will improve

transient response. The actual capacitance required will depend on the input and output voltage conditions

of the particular application, along with the desired transient response. Refer to the product data sheet for

further information on input and output capacitance and transient response.

This EVM is designed to be used with the USB-to-GPIO pod which enables communication over the

PMBus.

Jumper settings should not be changed while the module is powered. Permanent damage may occur.
