TPS55340EVM-017, 5-V to 12-V Input, 24-V Output Boost Evaluation Module
1 Background
The TPS55340 DC/DC converter is a step-up boost converter. Rated input voltage and output current
range for the evaluation module are given in
Table 1 . This EVM demonstrates the performance of the
TPS55340 in an example application and accommodates evaluation of other boost applications supported
by the TPS55340. This design shows that a small printed-circuit-board area is possible when designing
with the TPS55340 regulator. However, appropriate sizing of the inductor and diode for the desired
application can further reduce the board area. The switching frequency is externally set at a nominal 600
kHz. The 40-V, 5-A, low-side MOSFET is incorporated inside the TPS55340 package along with the gate-
drive circuitry. The low drain-to-source on-resistance of the MOSFET achieves high efficiencies with the
TPS55340. The compensation components are external to the integrated circuit (IC). The absolute
maximum input voltage is 32 V for the EVM.
