1.3.5 Input Voltage Rails
The EVM is designed to accommodate different input voltage levels for the power stage and control logic. During
normal operation, the PVIN and VIN inputs are connected together using a jumper across JP1. The single input
voltage is supplied at J1. If desired, these two input voltage rails may be separated by removing the jumper
across JP1. Two input voltages must then be provided at both J1 and J2. C1 is provided for adding additional
input capacitance for the PVIN input, if desired.
2 Test Setup and Results
This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS54521EVM-607 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 TPS54521EVM-607 is provided with input/output connectors and test points as shown in Table 2-1 . A power
supply capable of supplying 3 A must be connected to J1 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The jumper across
JP1 must be in place. See
Section 1.3.5 for split input voltage rail operation. The load must be connected to
J3 through a pair of 20 AWG wires. The maximum load current capability must be 5 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. TP8 is used to monitor the output voltage with TP9 as the ground
reference.
