1 Introduction
1.1 TPS7H4010 Space Enhanced Plastic Evaluation Module
The TPS7H4010-SEP (Space Enhanced Plastic) evaluation module (EVM), shown in Figure 1-1 with orderable
part number TPS7H4010EVM, is designed to help customers evaluate the performance of the TPS7H4010-SEP
synchronous step-down voltage converter. The EVM contains two independent buck converter circuits, each of
which contains the TPS7H4010-SEP which is in the 30-pin wettable flanks QFN (WQFN) package, as described
in
Table 1-1 . The two circuits deliver very accurate output voltages at 1.8 V and 3.3 V with up to 6 A current
capacity with exceptional efficiency in a very small solution size. The EVM provides multiple power connectors
and test points, as well as mode setting and enable input options, allowing for flexibility in testing.

1.2 TPS7H4010-SEP Synchronous Step-Down Voltage Converter
The TPS7H4010-SEP is an easy-to-use synchronous step-down DC-DC converter capable of driving up to 6 A
of load current from a supply voltage ranging from 3.5 V to 30 V. The TPS7H4010-SEP provides exceptional
efficiency and output accuracy in a very small solution size. Peak-current-mode control is employed. Additional
features such as adjustable switching frequency, synchronization to an external clock, FPWM option, power-
good flag, precision enable, adjustable soft start, and tracking provide both flexible and easy-to-use solutions for
a wide range of applications. Automatic frequency foldback at light load and optional external bias improve
efficiency over the entire load range. The device requires few external components and has a pinout designed
