TPS62510EVM-168
This User’s Guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the
TPS62510EVM-168 Evaluation Module (EVM). The Texas Instruments TPS62510 is a
high efficiency step-down converter for operation from a 1.8V to 3.8V input voltage rail
capable of supplying up 1.5A. This User’s Guide includes setup instructions, a
schematic diagram, a bill of materials (BOM), and PCB layout drawings for the
evaluation module for the TPS62510.

The Texas Instruments TPS62510EVM-168 evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the
operation and performance of the TPS62510 switching step-down converter. This high efficiency converter
is targeted for portable devices where space is critical and is ideally suited for two cell NiMHd or Alkaline
applications.
The TPS62510 EVM maximizes output power and efficiency while supplying 1.8V at 1.5A. It is designed to
operate with an input voltage between 1.8V–3.8V and has the option to adjust the output voltage by
modifying the resistive feedback divider. Refer to the TPS62510 data sheet (SLVS651) for more
information.
This chapter describes the jumpers and connectors on the EVM as well as how to properly connect, setup,
and use the TPS62510-168.
