Table 3-1. EVM Board Connections
Test Point
Connection
Description
TP1, J1
OUTA
Connected to the gate driver in the design. Components R5, C5 can be
used to test different R/C loads.
TP2, J2
OUTB
Connected to the gate driver in the design. Components R6, C6 can be
used to test different R/C loads.
TP3, J3
SRA
Connected to the gate driver in the design. Components R7, C7 can be
used to test different R/C loads.
TP4, J4
SRB
Connected to the gate driver in the design. Components R8, C8 can be
used to test different R/C loads.
TP5, TP6
CS_LIM
Input for current sense in the design. The CS_LIM circuit provides small
triangle waveform from OUTA, OUTB. Note that this can load OUTA,
OUTB causing a slow in the slew rate. If R9 and R10 are unpopulated,
CS_LIM can be force from TP5.
TP7
VIN
Voltage input for the TPS7H5001-SP device
TP8
EN
Enable pin for the TPS7H5001-SP device, currently pulled high to VLDO
TP9
COMP
Error amplifier output for the TPS7H5001-SP, forcing this voltage runs the
TPS7H5001-SP in open loop.
TP10
REFCAP
Internal reference for TPS7H5001-SP
TP11, TP12
SS
In a closed loop design, this slowly increases converter output voltage
during start-up
TP13, TP15
SYNC
Inputting a clock on this pin synchronizes the TPS7H5001-SP to a
frequency half of the input frequency
TP14
VLDO
Internal voltage rail for device logic
TP20
VSENSE
Voltage sense for the TPS7H5001-SP. Connected to converter output
voltage in the full design.
TP21
RSC
Slope compensation selection resistor. Sets slope compensation slew rate
internal to the device.
TP22
HICC
Configurability for the hiccup time of the converter. While grounded
through a resistor on the EVM, in a full design it is generally a capacitor.
TP23
FAULT
A signal high on this node turns the TPS7H5001-SP off for any fault
condition needed
TP24
SP
Configurability for the delay between the synchronous rectifiers and main
output
TP25
RT
Frequency select for the TPS7H5001-SP. Change this to vary the
frequency of the converter.
TP26
PS
Configurability for the delay between the main output and synchronous
rectifiers
TP27
LEB
Configurability for the leading edge blanking time of the converter
