TPS40345EVM-353 Evaluation Module
The TPS40345EVM-353 evaluation module (EVM) is a synchronous buck converter providing a fixed
1.2-V output at up to 20 A from a 12-V input bus. The EVM is designed to start-up from a single supply,
which means no additional bias voltage is required for start-up. The module uses the TPS40345 high-
performance, mid-input voltage synchronous buck controller and TI’s NexFET™ high performance
MOSFETs.
