2 Description

The TPS548A20EVM-737 is designed for a regulated 12-V bus to produce a regulated 1.2-V output at up to 
15 A of load current. The TPS548A20EVM-737 is designed to demonstrate the TPS548A20 device in a typical 
low-voltage application while providing a number of test points to evaluate the performance of the TPS548A20 
device.

2.1 Typical Applications

• Servers and storage
• Workstations and desktops
• Telecommunication infrastructure

2.2 Features

The TPS548A20EVM-737 features include the following:
• 15-A DC steady-state output current
• Support for a prebias-output voltage at startup
• Jumper, J2, for enable function
• Jumper, J5, for auto-skip and forced-continuous-conduction-mode (FCCM) selection
• Jumper, J7, for extra 5-V input for further power saving purpose
• Convenient test points for probing critical waveforms
