1 Introduction
The TPS53313EVM-078 evaluation module (EVM) is a step-down regulator featuring the TPS53313. The
TPS53313 is a fully integrated step-down regulator employing voltage mode control.
2 Description
The TPS53313EVM-078 is designed to use a 12-V voltage rail to produce a regulated 1.2-V output with up to
6-A load current. The TPS53313EVM-078 is designed to demonstrate the TPS53313 in a typical Point-Of-Load
(POL) application while providing a number of test points to evaluate the performance of the TPS53313.
2.1 Typical Applications
• POL applications for 5-V or 12-V step-down rails
2.2 Features
The TPS53313EVM-078 features include:
• Continuous 6-A output current capability
• Support all MLCC output capacitors
• Voltage mode control
• Selectable light-load operation modes (forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) and skip mode)
• Selectable switching frequency settings (600 kHz and 1.00 MHz)
• Support synchronization to external clock
• Selectable overcurrent threshold
• Soft-stop output discharge during disable
• Overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, and overtemperature protections
• Power-good indication
• Pre-bias output voltage start-up
• Convenient test points for probing critical waveforms
