Table 1-3

 lists the R1 values for some common output voltages. For higher output voltages, a feedforward 

capacitor may be required. Pads for this component (C2) are provided on the printed circuit board. C2 is used 
for faster load transient response and is normally not used. Note that the values given in 

Table 1-3

 are standard 

values, and not the exact value calculated using

2 Test Setup and Results

This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS54225EVM-538. The section also 
includes test results typical for the evaluation modules and the following:

• Efficiency
• Output load regulation
• Output line regulation
• Load transient response
• Output voltage ripple
• Input voltage ripple
• Start up
• Switching frequency

2.1 Input / Output Connections

The TPS54225EVM-538 is provided with input/output connectors and test points as shown in 

Table 2-1

. A power 

supply capable of supplying 2 A must be connected to J1 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The load must be 
connected to J2 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The maximum load current capability is 2 A. Wire lengths must 
be minimized to reduce losses in the wires. Test point TP1 provides a place to monitor the V

IN

 input voltages 

with TP2 providing a convenient ground reference. TP8 is used to monitor the output voltage with TP9 as the 
ground reference.
