1 Introduction
The TPS53513EVM-PWR587 evaluation module (EVM) uses the TPS53513 device. The TPS53513 device is a
D-CAP3
™
mode, 8-A synchronous buck converter with integrated MOSFETs. The device provides a fixed 1.2-V
output at up to 8 A from a 12-V input bus.
2 Description
The TPS53513EVM-PWR587 is designed to use a regulated 12-V bus to produce a regulated 1.2-V output at
up to 8 A of load current. The TPS53513EVM-PWR587 is designed to demonstrate the TPS53513 device in
a typical low voltage application while providing a number of test points to evaluate the performance of the
TPS53513 device.
2.1 Typical Applications
• Server and storage
• Workstations and desktops
• Telecommunication infrastructure
2.2 Features
The TPS53513EVM- PWR587 features:
• 8-A DC steady-state output current
• Support pre-bias output voltage start-up
• J2 for enable function
• J5 for auto-skip and forced CCM selection
• J7 for extra 5-V input for further power saving purpose
• Convenient test points for probing critical waveforms
