TPS7A54EVM-031 Evaluation Module

1 Introduction

Texas Instruments' TPS7A54EVM-031 EVM helps design engineers evaluate the operation and

performance of the TPS7A5401RPS device for possible use in a circuit application. This particular EVM

configuration contains a single low-noise, high-PSRR linear regulator for radar applications. The regulator

is capable of delivering up to 4 A to the load with ultra-low VIN to VOUT dropout voltage. For stability, use

a 47-µF (or larger) output capacitor for the TPS7A54EVM-031.

1.1 Before You Begin

The following warnings and cautions are noted for the safety of anyone using or working close to the

TPS7A54EVM-031. Observe all safety precautions.

Warning Warning Hot surface. Contact may cause burns. Do not touch.

CAUTION

The circuit module may be damaged by overtemperature. To avoid damage,

monitor the temperature during evaluation and provide cooling, as needed, for

your system environment.

CAUTION

Some power supplies can be damaged by application of external voltages. If

using more than one power supply, check your equipment requirements and

use blocking diodes or other isolation techniques, as needed, to prevent

damage to your equipment.

CAUTION

The circuit module is not a finished product or electrical appliance. The module

does not contain current or voltage thresholds for circuit protection. It must be

used by qualified personnel with additional equipment for evaluation only.

2 EVM Setup

This section describes how to properly connect and set up the TPS7A54EVM-031, including the jumpers

and connectors on the EVM board.

2.1 Input/Output Connectors and Jumper Descriptions

2.1.1 J1 – VIN

Input power-supply voltage SMA jack connector.

2.1.2 J2 – VIN

Input power-supply voltage standard banana jack connector. Twist together the positive input lead and

ground return lead from the input power supply, and keep them as short as possible to minimize input

inductance. Add additional bulk capacitance between the input supply and ground (use the C1 footprint) if

the supply leads are greater than six inches. For example, an additional 47-µF electrolytic capacitor

connected from the input supply (J1) to ground can improve the transient response of the

TPS7A5401RPS, and eliminates unwanted ringing on the input because of long wire connections.

2.1.3 J3 – EN

Output enable. To enable the output, connect a jumper to short VIN to EN.

2.1.4 J4 – VOUT

Output voltage SMA jack connector.

2.1.5 J5 – PG

Pullup-voltage selector for PG. This EVM is designed so that PG can be pulled up either to VOUT by

shorting J5, or pulled up to another voltage by applying an external voltage to the PG post.

2.1.6 J6 – VOUT

Output voltage standard banana jack connector.

2.1.7 J7 – BIAS

Bias voltage standard banana connector.

If the input supply (VIN) voltage is less than 1.4 V but greater than 1.1 V, use a bias voltage of 3.0 V to

6.5 V to provide power to the TPS7A5401RPS. If the input voltage is greater than 1.4 V, the BIAS pin

does not have to be connected. The BIAS supply pin typically consumes 2.3 mA.

2.1.8 J8 – GND

Input and Bias ground return connector.

2.1.9 J9 – GND

Output ground return connector.

2.1.10 J10 -- GND

Inout and Bias ground return connector.

2.1.11 J11

6 × 1 header, can be used as test points for LDO inputs and outputs.

2.1.20 TP8 – GND

Ground sense test point near Bias.

2.1.21 TP9 – GND

Ground sense test point.

2.2 Soldering Guidelines

To avoid damaging the integrated circuit (IC), use a hot-air system for any solder rework to modify the

EVM for the purpose of repair or other application reasons.

2.3 Equipment Connection

Use the following steps when connecting the equipment:

1. Set the input and bias power supplies to 6.5 V (maximum), and turn the power supplies off.

2. Connect the positive voltage lead from the input power supply to VIN at the J1 or J2 connector of the

EVM.

3. Connect the ground lead from the input power supply to GND at the J8 connector of the EVM.

4. Connect a 0-A to 4-A load between OUT and GND. The connector used depends on the desired

output current.

5. Disable the output by floating J3.

3 Operation

Use the following steps to operate the equipment:

1. Turn on the power supplies.

2. Enable the output by jumping J3 (the EN pin) to VIN.
