TPS2596EVM: Evaluation Module for TPS2596xx
2 Description
The TPS2596EVM enables full evaluation of the TPS2596xx devices. The EVM supports two versions
(Auto-Retry and Latch-Off) of the devices on two Channels (CH1 and CH2, respectively). Input power is
applied at J1 (CH1) and J9 (CH2) while J2 (CH1) and J10 (CH2) provide the output connection to the
load. Refer to the schematic in
Figure 1 , and EVM test setup in Figure 2 . The TPS2596EVM supports
evaluation of single layer and two layer PCB designs on CH1 and CH2 respectively. Refer to the
TPS2596EVM layout in
Figure 8 and Figure 9 .
D2/C6 (CH1), D6/C14 (CH2) provide input protection for the TPS259621 and TPS259630 (U1 and U2,
respectively) while D4/C1-C3 (CH1), D7/C10-C12 (CH2) provide output protection and inrush current
demand from the load. S1 and S2 allow U1 and U2, respectively to be RESET or disabled. A fault (FLTb)
indicator is provided by D3, D5 for CH1 and CH2, respectively. The EN/UVLO pin is recommended to
operate below 6 V. To ensure that the EN/UVLO pin voltage is always less than 6 V, J5 and J7 need to be
installed for CH1 and CH2 respectively for input voltages greater than 10 V.
