3.2 Output Voltage Setpoint
The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the FB pin. TI recommends using 1%
tolerance or better divider resistors. Referring to the application schematic of
, start with a 10 kΩ or 20
to calculate R8. To improve efficiency at light loads, consider using larger value
resistors. If the values are too high, the regulator is more susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the FB
input current are noticeable.

4 Test Setup
This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS563211EVM.
4.1 Input/Output Connections
The TPS563211EVM is provided with input/output connectors and test points as shown in
.
shows connectors and jumpers placement on TPS563211EVM board.
A power supply capable of supplying 3 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 3 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. TP3 is used to monitor the output voltage with TP4
as the ground reference.
