1 Introduction
The TPS53015EVM-126 evaluation module (EVM) presents an easy-to-use reference design for a typical point-
of-load application in a standalone module using the TPS53015 controller in cost-sensitive applications.
2 Description
The TPS53015EVM-126 provides the user with a convenient way to evaluate the TPS53015 D-CAP2
™
mode
control in a cost-sensitive application. Providing a 1.05-V output at up to 8 A from a loosely regulated 12-V (8
V–22 V) source, the TPS53015EVM-126 is designed to demonstrate the TPS53015 in a typical point-of-load
application while providing a number of test points to evaluate the performance of the TPS53015.
2.1 Typical Applications
• Point-of-load regulations in low-power systems for a wide range of applications
– Digital TV power supply
– Network home terminals
– Digital set top box (STB)
– DVD player/recorder
