TPS62730 Stepdown Converter With Bypass Mode for
Ultralow-Power Wireless Applications
This user ’ s guide describes the TPS62730 evaluation module (EVM), how to perform a stand-alone
evaluation or interface with a host or system. The converter is designed to deliver up to 100 mA of
continuous current to the output. The converter can be switched into bypass mode by grounding the
ON/BYP pin or automatically with the input voltage falling to the output regulation voltage.
