1.3 Modifications

These evaluation modules are designed to provide access to the features of the TPS54233. Some modifications 
can be made to this module.

1.3.1 Output Voltage Set Point

To change the output voltage of the EVM, it is necessary to change the value of resistor R

6

. Changing the value 

of R

6

 can change the output voltage above 0.8 V. The value of R

6

 for a specific output voltage can be calculated 

using 

Equation 1

.

 must be in a range so that the 

minimum on-time is greater than 160 ns, and the maximum duty cycle is less than 90%. The values given in

2 Test Setup and Results

This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS54233EVM-373 evaluation module. 
The section also includes test results typical for the evaluation module and covers efficiency, output voltage 
regulation, load transients, loop response, output ripple, input ripple, and start-up.

2.1 Input / Output Connections

The TPS54233EVM-373 is provided with input/output connectors and test points as shown in 

Table 2-1

. A power 

supply capable of supplying 2 A must be connected to J1 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The load must 
be connected to J4 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The maximum load current capability must be 2 A. Wire 
lengths must be minimized to reduce losses in the wires. Test-point TP1 provides a place to monitor the V

IN

 input 

voltages with TP2 providing a convenient ground reference. TP5 is used to monitor the output voltage with TP6 
as the ground reference.
