1 Introduction
The TPS51113-EVM evaluation module (EVM), is a high efficiency single phase synchronous buck converter
providing a fixed 1.2-V output at up to 25 A from a 12-V input bus. The EVM uses the TPS51113 synchronous
buck controller.
2 Description
The TPS51113-EVM is designed to use a regulated 12-V (8 V to 14 V) bus to produce a high current, regulated
1.2-V output at up to 25 A of the load current. The TPS51113-EVM is designed to demonstrate the TPS51113
in a typical low-voltage application while providing a number of test points to evaluate the performance of the
TPS51113.
3 Typical Applications
• High current system converters for server and desktop power
• Point of load non-isolated DC-DC converters for telecom and datacom application
4 Features
The TPS51113-EVM features include:
• 25-A DC steady state current
• Start-up into the pre-biased output
• 300-kHz switching frequency
• JP1 for enable function
• Convenient test points for probing critical waveforms and loop response testing
• Four-layer PCB with 2-oz. copper
• All components on the top layer
