Introduction
This user's guide contains background information for the TPS54336A as well as support documentation
for the TPS54336AEVM-010 evaluation module (BSR010-002). Also included are the performance
specifications, the schematic, and the bill of materials for the TPS54336AEVM-010.
1.1
Background
The TPS54336A dc/dc converter is designed to provide up to a 3-A output from an input voltage source of
4.5 V to 28 V. Rated input voltage and output current range for the evaluation module are given in
. This evaluation module is designed to demonstrate the small printed-circuit-board areas that may
be achieved when designing with the TPS54336A regulator. The switching frequency is internally set at a
nominal 340 kHz. The high-side and low-side MOSFETs are incorporated inside the TPS54336A package
along with the gate-drive circuitry. The low drain-to-source on resistance of the MOSFETs allow the
TPS54336A to achieve high efficiencies and helps keep the junction temperature low at high output
currents. The compensation components are external to the integrated circuit (IC), and an external divider
allows for an adjustable output voltage. Additionally, the TPS54336A provides adjustable slow start and
undervoltage lockout inputs. The absolute maximum input voltage is 30 V for the TPS54336AEVM-010.
