TPS7A89 Evaluation Module

1 Introduction

The Texas Instruments TPS7A8901EVM-853 EVM helps design engineers evaluate the operation and

performance of the TPS7A89 linear regulator for possible use in their own circuit application. This

particular EVM configuration contains a dual low-noise, high-PSRR linear regulator, ideal for high-

performance signal chain. The regulator is capable of delivering up to 2 A per channel to each load with

low dropout (VIN – VOUT) voltage for high-efficiency operation. For stability, each channel requires a 10-

µF input capacitor and 10-µF output capacitor for the TPS7A89.

1.1 Before You Begin

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

TPS7A8901EVM-853. Observe all safety precautions.

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 setup the TPS7A8901EVM-853, including the jumpers

and connectors on the EVM board.

2.1 Input/Output Connectors and Jumper Descriptions

2.1.1 J1 – VIN1

Channel-1, input power-supply voltage connector. Twist together the positive input lead and ground return

lead from the input power supply; keep the leads as short as possible to minimize input wire inductance.

Add additional bulk capacitance between J1 and J4 (use the C1 footprint) if the supply leads are longer

than six inches. For example, an additional 47-µF electrolytic capacitor connected from J1 to ground

improves the transient response of the TPS7A89, while eliminating unwanted ringing on the input because

of long wire connections.

2.1.2 J2 – VOUT1

Channel-1, regulated, output voltage connector.

2.1.3 J3 – VPU1

Channel-1, pullup-voltage selector for PG1. This EVM is designed so that PG1 can be pulled up to either

VOUT1 by shorting J3, or pulled up to another voltage by applying an external voltage to the RPU1 post.

2.1.4 J4 – GND

Return connector for the channel-1, input power supply.

2.1.5 J5 – GND

Channel-1, output, ground return connector.

2.1.6 J6 – VIN2

Channel-2, input, power-supply voltage connector. Twist together the positive input lead and ground return

lead from the input power supply; keep the leads as short as possible to minimize input wire inductance.

Add additional bulk capacitance between J6 and J8 (use the C9 footprint) if the supply leads are longer

than six inches. For example, an additional 47-µF electrolytic capacitor connected from J6 to ground

improves the transient response of the TPS7A89, while eliminating unwanted ringing on the input because

of long wire connections.

2.1.7 J7 – VOUT2

Channel-2, regulated, output voltage connector.

2.1.8 J8 – GND

Return connector for the channel-2, input power supply.

2.1.9 J9 – GND

Channel-2, output, ground return connector.

2.1.10 J10 – ANYOUT2

The channel-2 output voltage of the TPS7A89 is selectable in accordance with the names given to the

output voltage setting pins: 50 mV, 100 mV, 200 mV, 400 mV, 800 mV, 1.6 V, and 1.6 V. For each pin

connected to the ground, the output voltage setting increases by the value associated with that pin name,

starting from the value of the reference voltage of 0.8 V; floating the pins has no effect on the output

voltage.

2.1.11 J11 – ANYOUT1

The channel-1 output voltage of the TPS7A89 is selectable in accordance with the names given to the

output voltage setting pins: 50 mV, 100 mV, 200 mV, 400 mV, 800 mV, 1.6 V, and 1.6 V. For each pin

connected to the ground, the output voltage setting increases by the value associated with that pin name,

starting from the value of the reference voltage of 0.8 V; floating the pins has no effect on the output

voltage.

2.1.12 J12 – VPU2

Channel-2 pullup voltage selector for PG2. This EVM is designed so that PG2 can be pulled up to either

VOUT1 by shorting J12, or pulled up to another voltage by applying an external voltage to the RPU2 post.

2.1.13 J13 – EN1

Channel-1 output enable. To enable the output for channel 1, connect a jumper to short VIN1 to EN1. To

disable the output, connect a jumper to short EN1 to GND.

2.1.14 J14 – EN2

Channel-2 output enable. To enable the output for channel 2, connect a jumper to short VIN2 to EN2. To

disable the output, connect a jumper to short EN2 to GND.

2.1.15 J15 – CTRL1

Channel-1, soft-start control. Connect a jumper to short VIN1 to CTRL1 for a fast charge time. Connect a

jumper to short CTRL1 to GND for a slower startup.

2.1.16 J16 – CTRL2

Channel-2, soft-start control. Connect a jumper to short VIN2 to CTRL2 for a fast charge time. Connect a

jumper to short CTRL2 to GND for a slower startup.

2.1.17 TP1 – VIN1

Channel-1, input, sense test point.

2.1.18 TP2 – VOUT1

Channel-1, output, sense test point.

2.1.19 TP3 – VOUT2
