TPS7B82EVM-024 Evaluation module
1
Introduction
Texas Instruments' TPS7B82EVM-024 EVM helps design engineers evaluate the operation and
performance of the TPS7B82-Q1 linear regulator for possible use in their own circuit application. This
particular EVM configuration contains a single 300-mA, high-voltage, ultra-low-I
Q
, low-dropout regulator for
automotive systems. The regulator is capable of delivering up to 300 mA to the load with a wide V
IN
range
of up to 40 V (45 V transient). For stability, use a 2.2-µF (or larger) output capacitor for the TPS7B82-Q1.

Before You Begin
The following warnings and cautions are noted for the safety of anyone using or working close to the
TPS7B82EVM-024. Observe all safety precautions.
Warning
Warning Hot surface. Contact may cause burns. Do not touch.
CAUTION
The circuit module may be damaged by over temperature. To avoid damage,
monitor the temperature during evaluation and provide cooling, as needed, for
your system environment.
CAUTION
Some power supplies can be damaged by application of external voltages. If
using more than one power supply, check your equipment requirements and
use blocking diodes or other isolation techniques, as needed, to prevent
damage to your equipment.
CAUTION
The circuit module is not a finished product or electrical appliance. The module
does not contain current or voltage thresholds for circuit protection. It must be
used by qualified personnel with additional equipment for evaluation only.
